Ezgluten.com Test Kits

Has anybody used the gluten test kits from EZGluten.com? We were testing various kinds of cat food since their labeling requirements are different from human food. Some of the guaranteed gluten/grain free foods came up positive for gluten so we are questioning the results. A search of their website said the tests should be refrigerated but none of the instructions in the kit said to do so. We can't decide whether to trust the tests or the cat food manufacturers. Has anybody had any experience with these test kits?

I've not used them, but they're pretty pricey.

I find the results consistent with my reactions. Then again, I've never had cat food. :P

I'd be inclined to trust the kit since it's cat food. Did you test some similar human food (canned tuna or something) to be sure it isn't coming up with gluten on everything?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
