I was at Walgreens today picking up my pictures. My 4yr old daughter spotted the carmels by the Halloween candy. I was very sad because I thought I couldn't have them. I then noticed that they are made by Kraft (so nothing will be hidden). I read the ingredients and they seem to be fine!! :D

I am so excited to open them all and melt them. I then will dunk my apple in and ENJOY! It is so funny that I am back to "the simple things in life"! :P

Candy corn? I wish. Brach's is sort of probably most likely :P gluten-free, but they claim that they aren't due to possible contamination. I never know what to do in those instances. Being cautious, I have not eaten them. Haven't heard of any BIG brand that you could find in any store being gluten-free.

My son eats the brachs and has no problem. I called a couple years ago and they said they were gluten free.... Was I playing russian roulette with the boy??? :o

Today they told me that Brachs candy corn had 20 parts per millions whatever that means. The ingredients are gluten-free but cross contamination is a possibility in their facility they said.

Someone told me to that Farley's candy corn is gluten-free. I bought some yesterday and there is a statement about possible cross contamination. I ate some anyway!

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?
