Help understand results
Aretaeus Cappadocia replied to mamaof7's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
"I'm wondering if she just hadn't eaten enough to test positive?" --> Because your daughter is "IGA deficient", the (gliadin IGA) test she was given could not work properly and the result of that particular test was meaningless. The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease.... -

tldr: "we tested your daughter with one test and that result does not suggest Celiac. However, the test we used should not be used as the initial screening test for celiac (like it appears they did) because it misses a lot of cases ("low specificity"). No further testing is scheduled or pending" We eat "gluten" and our bodies digest part of it into ... -
I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard. I bought Teff flour there and like it. they have a lot of items on your list but probably no soy flour, at least not by that name. https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/flour/teff/brown/teff-flour-brown-unifine-gluten-free/11211?package=FL294 As mentioned in another answer, Palouse is a high quality...

fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

Gluten free nuts
Aretaeus Cappadocia replied to Clear2me's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wanted to respond to your post as much for other people who read this later on (I'm not trying to contradict your experience or decisions) > Kirkland Signature Super Extra-Large Peanuts, 2.5 lbs, are labeled "gluten free" in the Calif Costcos I've been in. If they are selling non-gluten-free in your store, I suggest talking to customer service to... -
Gluten free nuts
Aretaeus Cappadocia replied to Clear2me's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Azure Standard (https://www.azurestandard.com/) is one of my gluten-free vendors. I've purchased nuts, "grains", flours, and many other products there. If you are not familiar with Azure, you have to set up an account (no cost) and get your purchases either via shipping (expensive) or "drop" (free if you buy a reasonable minimum). Search their website... -
I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good ...

Agree with everything your wrote. Just to clarify my earlier comment, I was specifically focusing on cross-contamination risk, as opposed to identified, obfuscated, or occult ingredients. I've noticed that Costco does like many other manufacturers and errs on the side of caution by putting the major allergen exposure label on products that are actually...
-
As a more generalized response to your question, I've been contacting Costco customer service for several Kirkland products because they are either unlabeled or contain the generic warning label about being packaged in a facility that handles all major food allergens. Each time I ask, my question is assigned to a specific person who researches it and...

RobinGroenevelt and Scott Adams, Thank you for your comments but I think your responses don't address my question. I am curious about the extent of diet compliance in the large meta study and whether they did subgroup analysis by diet. This retrospective study found evidence of increased risk of cancer and other co-morbidities in their Celiac cohort...
-
I read your summary here, as well as the article that you linked. I don't see any reference to the diet of the exposed or control groups. Did the subjects adhere to gluten-free diet after their celiac disease diagnosis? Were there subgroups that adhered and ones that didn't? For this study, did diet impact the odds ratio for the various conditions that were...
