    If it says it is gluten-free on the packaging then it should be safe for those with celiac disease. Certified gluten-free is nice, but eating only certified products would cause you to exclude many perfectly safe items from your diet.

    Have you gone on a gluten-free diet yet? If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free it would confirm your diagnosis.

    Unfortunately I doubt there is any agency you can report this to, but you can do a Yelp and Google review to warn others of your experience. You may be able to also report this to the city's or county's health department, but I doubt they handle reports that don't involve actual food poisoning.

    Two of us are gluten-free in our family and we've never had an issue with this product.
  5. Scott Adams
    I haven't had them, but I checked their ingredients and they seem to be naturally gluten-free. Did you have issues?

    I believe the recommendation is one time per year, however, my doctors over the past 27+ years after my diagnosis have only done this when I've requested it. I've only done this 5-6 times.

    Yes, we've done some articles on this topic:

    Yogurt is usually naturally gluten-free, and very few companies label it gluten-free. I do include many products like this in my diet, but only if the likelihood of contamination at the manufacturer is low, and they do no list wheat as an allergen (which is required by law in the USA if there is the possibility of contamination). This article may be...

    I'm not sure which color you use, but if you go here: https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lipstick/super-stay-vinyl-ink-longwear-liquid-lipstick you will see ingredients for one color that are below. Tocopherol is an ingredient, which is a type of vitamin E, is generally considered to be gluten-free. Tocopherol is a natural compound found in various...

    It's a complicated question for me. I'm positive for both DQ2 and DQ8, and after I finally got diagnosed I realized that some of the strange symptoms I had in my youth were likely related. Here is how I view my diagnosis: Age 0-20: Various symptoms like skin rashes, severe allergies to pollen, testing positive for many food allergies, including a...

    Welcome to the forum! Your symptoms definitely could be consistent with either celiac disease or NCGS, and of course it's possible it could be something else. It's great that you got a celiac blood test panel, and were you eating gluten daily (normally you should be eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread for 6-8 weeks beforehand). More info about...

    Welcome to the forum. I moved this thread into our "Meet Up Room" area, where others have posted who are also looking for gluten-free roommates. If you can share your city and state I can update this thread with the correct, searchable info so that it will be possible to connect with a potential roommate.

    Perhaps use the hand sanitizer and baby wipes? It would certainly work well to remove most, if not all gluten.

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

    and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

    Yes, and I am not sure enough research has been done on genetics for your specific marker being 1:1842 to be accurate--I say this because when I was diagnosed my doctor was sure I didn't have it, because only 1:5000 people have celiac disease--that was the mid 1990's. I've not seen enough research done on the various genetic variants to be able to come up...

    The article I posted covers pre-bottled drinks.

    It's possible that nutrient deficiencies are causing the canker sores. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do...

    The symptoms you mention would not be typical of celiac disease, unless the sores under your tongue are canker sores:

    I agree with @trents. 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...

    I've not had this version, but have had other Doritos salsas with no issues. The ingredients appear to be naturally gluten-free, but there was a recent recall on one of their products that somehow got gluten in it...it was their Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips:

    This info is not correct. According to their FAQ page they will list any allergen if there is a chance for cross-contamination, and with Just Egg the only allergen listed is eggs, and not wheat: https://www.ju.st/faq Guest 2023 Update: Corn starch is gluten-free and not a "highly cross contaminated prior to production," as you claim. It is on...

    Yes, this is one of the main reasons to genetically modify a crop, but there are others, for example making them grow better in certain climates or with less water--more heat or drought resistant for example, and with global warming this factor my become increasingly important, and Europe may have to give up their ban on GMO crops.
