    I also saw this article, and it is very interesting. It makes one wonder what it does to the human gut, including our gut microbiome.

    Is it possible you are sensitive to other ingredients in RX Bars?
  3. Scott Adams
    Very interesting research for sure!

    The flank steak cut, in comparison to other cuts, tends to be less expensive. Flap steak is another less expensive choice. In the example you gave above flank steak is ~30% cheaper, but yes, beef prices, along with many other food prices have shot up dramatically over the last year or two.

    Welcome to the forum @VGala! In the USA (and likely North America) yeast extract is gluten-free, and this article has more info:

    Welcome to the forum! I could not tell from your post whether or not you've: 1) Been diagnosed with celiac disease; 2) Are on a 100% gluten-free diet; 3) If the answer is yes to either, how long have you been gluten-free? More info would be helpful.

    Welcome to the forum! Hopefully going on a gluten-free diet will help your liver issues, as research has shown that a gluten-free diet can help normalize liver problems in celiacs. This category has many research articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/liver-disease-and-celiac-disease...

    Oh no...their web site is down! I love Grindstone. Their bread was already on the high end in terms of cost per loaf for gluten-free products, and this was before the huge recent inflation. I suspect that their cost of goods soared, and pushed their retail costs per loaf too high...but who knows. Sad to see another great gluten-free company go out of business...

    Here is a site where you can search medications and see their ingredients...just look for the inactive ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

    In the USA if it says "spices" as an ingredient, it would be gluten-free. Additionally, it there were wheat, or a possibility of contamination with wheat, they would need to include this at the end of the ingredients in the allergen area, like CONTAINS: WHEAT. More info:

    Welcome to the forum. It is definitely possible that your niece and her parents are overreacting, but I think it's important for you to try to be supportive even if that is the case. There are many examples here of totally non-supportive family members who simply dismiss such things as "crazy" or "ridiculous," and we usually see this ending badly, as...

    This is pure speculation, but I am not sure about the glues used in various plywood products, and I suppose it could be possible that some of them may contain gluten. I have heard of certain types of dry wall products that contain gluten, but I've not seen this verified by any testing.

    You blood test results are so high--over 30x the high marker for tTg Ig A 181 (normal <5.4), that I'm not even sure why you would need a biopsy to confirm it. Newer research points to diagnosing celiac disease if your tTg levels are 5-10x the CD level, and you can see more info about this, including links to the research, in this article:

    Your doctor is not correct regarding rye—it contains gluten and should be avoided if you’re sensitive to gluten.

    Great info...I just wanted to clarify that in the USA modified food starch is considered gluten-free:
  16. Scott Adams
    I made a small correct to that article to be more clear. The last step in the protocol should have said that if no IGA is detected, not that low IGA. I also added a reference: https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/Overview/89201

    Product made in the USA that use natural flavors are gluten-free:

    Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear of your health issues. You mention being gluten-free, but it's not clear if you were ever tested for celiac disease, or if you are self-diagnosed and have gluten sensitivity. Knowing whether or not you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may affect the replies you get here, so please let us...

    Yes, chips like Pringles may contain wheat starch.

    Locust Bean gum is naturally gluten-free, however, I was reading that there is a milling process involved when they mill the carob beans. I suppose it's possible that it could be contaminated during this process. In general look for brands that have "gluten-free" on the label, but this gum is likely safe unless the manufacturer mills other grains on their...

    Gluten is harmful to anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It triggers an immune response in some people where the antibodies can cause gut, nerve, and other damage, but to say gluten isn't harmful isn't correct.

    The focus of the article was a gluten-free beer winning this prestigious contest, and not how the beer is made. Use google to search for more info about that.
  23. Scott Adams
    If the cut off for each test is >15 is positive, and you had these results: Gliadin (DPG) IgG: 65 tTg IgA: 57 tGg IgG: 28 It would seem that you are clearly in the celiac disease category. It's possible they caught this early, but there is no easy way to know this. Within this article is a section on diagnosing celiac disease...

    Welcome to the forum! Could you please share the reference ranges for each of those tests? This would be the cut off level for positive, and each can vary depending on the lab used. With this extra information we might be able to comment on your results.
  25. Scott Adams
    I would not refer to results that are 33% higher than the baseline as "low positive," but will admit that we often see much higher numbers here on a regular basis. She may get relief from her eczema after going gluten-free, and I hope this will be the case.
