Has anybody had experience using the EZGluten test kits? The web site FAQ says they should be refrigerated but the box and instructions do not mention refrigeration. I wonder if our test results are off because we didn't refrigerate the tests. Also, the test kits sit in the mailman's truck all day at 100 degrees, so that might affect them as well. We are trying to find a gluten-free cat food, but a brand labelled gluten-free and grain-free tested positive. We don't know whether to trust the cat food manufacturer or the home test kit.

I use Taste of the Wild for my dogs (there is a cat variety). It says it is grain-free

I have had success with the strips. I was also annoyed that they said nothing about refrigeration on the package and called them about it. I had ordered 10 strips I believe which was not cheap. They replaced them. Also when I was having trouble testing one of the things I needed they checked with the developers and called me back ASAP with further instructions (I was testing a viscous product).

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy. Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically. Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
