I've always been a label reader so think I usually know what I'm looking at when it comes to what is and isn't gluten free, even if it isn't "certified" by any body. Although I'm not celiac, I'm firmly planted in the Gluten Intolerance crowd as a blood test has proven. Plus, reaction times to anything with Gluten in it tend to be pretty quick. Yesterday I had sushi for lunch and an hour later I was spending my afternoon in the washroom.

Anyway, wondering if there's an iPhone app or some other electronic format where you can key in ingredients and it will give you a yay or nay about whether something is gluten free or not? I'm finding that I need a science degree to read some labels! :)

Thanks!

If you are in the U.S. companies are required to say whether or not wheat is in it via label. This does not include, however, possible cross-contamination from manufacturing.

Relying on an allergen statement is not enough. Not only does it not cover possible CC it does not cover barley or rye.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I'm in Canada. Forgot that in my original post!

Hi Gingerfire, I have an app on my phone called gluten-free Living. It has hundreds of ingredients listed and is updated quite frequently.... they are in alphabetical order so you can find everything quickly.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
