I am recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. I've been clearing out my pantry and have had trouble finding a few safe items. I love dried fruit and nuts but they always seem to be cross contaminated. I used to buy them in the bulk bins for from natural food stores. I haven't found any safe ones yet. Whole foods prepackages list wheat containing facilities. Can they be found in stores or must they be ordered online? Looking for raisins, dried cranberries, dried pineapple, nuts and seeds. Any help?

Mariani Nut Company is safe--I have spoken to them on the phone. Here in Jersey, they are available at a few of the regular grocery stores in the produce section.

I have eaten dried mangos and nuts from nuts dot com. They have a great gluten free variety.

Yup. Nuts.com is where I get mine. Also nut butters. They have lots of gluten-free stuff; candies, baking goods, jelly beans & so on.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..
