This is not true - logically you can prove a negative. Peanut testing is a great example. If it doesn't contain ANY peanuts of any kind or derivative, it's peanut-free, if it contains traces of peanuts - it says so - "May contain traces of peanuts". As for products currently on the market claiming to be gluten-free - goodwill and lawsuits have held them in...

20ppm??? That's a joke. We're capable of testing for 0% at a reasonable cost - why do you think are so many products now that are truly gluten-free??? "Gluten-free" should mean "Gluten-free". Your argument is like saying that your drinking water is "Arsenic-free" and labelled as such - it isn't and in the US your water company will provide you with the average...

Rice Dream has been playing this little game for years and has made countless people sick. They use to list their ingredients in one place and then put that it may contain 20 ppm gluten elsewhere on the box. They have received complaints about this for years. I'll never purchase another product from them. Also, 20 ppm is about to become the US standard...

In my opinion there is no "norm" for celiac disease, but in my experience your body's response is not unusual. My reaction to gluten is similiar and became much more severe after going gluten-free, also developed several other food allergies. Depression is also one of the reactions I experience during/after a gluten poisoning. I've got about a two week recovery...

I use PB 8, Pro-Biotic Acidophilus For Life - no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, gluten, salt, milk, wheat or soy.

Thanks everyone, and power to those who can tolerate Redbridge. As I said before I applaud Anheuser-Busch for its efforts to create a gluten-free beer. I like the beer, but it made me sick so I thought I'd post to see if others had similar reactions. I think gfp has good insight into how a large company might tackle this new product, and am a little...

I've had a chance to sample Redbridge. Had a few beers a couple of times and got sick. Emailed them and asked if the product was "gluten-free" as they claimed. Their response was that it was "illegal" to actually label the beer "gluten-free" as the government has yet to determine what the term means... (proposed 20 ppm). Interesting as Bard's Pale Ale...

"Does celiac cause lactose intolerance? Or does dairy just aggravate (some? all?) people's systems while they heal? I currently consume a ton of dairy--think 6-8 glasses of milk a day plus cheese, etc. and I don't *think* it's making me sick, but..." Milk casin (a protein in milk) is also an issue with many celiacs. If you are considering an elimination...

If you mean that you feel symptoms similar to eating gluten even though you've eaten a truly gluten-free product (0% gluten), it may be possible. I've had similar experiences. My theory is that since the permability of the small intestine is often compromised in those with celiac disease (and compromised during their healing process), it makes sense that...
