    Jen Ryan, you are just wrong about Modified Food Starch in the USA: Open Original Shared Link In the USA they legally need to say "CONTAINS WHEAT" if the modified food starch comes from wheat. Read more here:

    If we went only by gut reactions to our product lists they would be totally inaccurate. In the USA modified food starch is made from corn and is gluten-free. What about all the sugar, which can trigger SIBO and other issues? Or the other ingredients?

    I've not heard this before. I can't think of why this would be the case. Where did you hear this?

    According to the RX Bar web site: ”The ingredients we use in our products are inherently gluten-free. Products labeled gluten free have met the FDA requirement that no more than 20 parts per million of gluten is present. They are made in a facility that also produces wheat containing products. We take quality control very seriously and strive t...

    In the USA smoke flavoring is gluten-free, but most bacon is naturally smoked:

    While I agree with the idea of picking a brand that is labelled gluten-free over one that is not, I don't believe that "there is real potential for the other ingredients to contain gluten (especially spices)" in the major brands of pasta sauces. Again, all are required by law to list the 8 major allergens on their labels, including wheat. If wheat were detected...

    We made this update.

    They should be safe. Any products labelled "gluten-free" in the USA should be safe for celiacs. The only caveat might be a tiny number of newer products that use wheat starch that has been rendered gluten-free, but these products are not in that category.

    Let us know how that turns out, but not matter the results, it seems like trying out a gluten-free diet, at least for a few months, should be in your future. The time period on test results can vary a lot, so two weeks might be still in the normal range for some doctors/areas. If your diagnosis isn't celiac disease (which I would still lean towards based...

    Good point, we did an article on this a long time ago:

    I sometimes eat it and have had no reaction. Of course this does not guarantee that it is 100% gluten-free, or that a small batch could not be contaminated. Unfortunately their web site give no additional info (https://www.mondelezinternational.com/Our-Brands/Toblerone), however, in the USA, known allergens, including wheat must legally be disclosed...

    This is where I say that you may still want to consider yourself a possible celiac. I say this because normal people would never score 14.9 on this test. You have the genetic marker for celiac disease, AND, more importantly, you have symptoms of it, including low iron and vitamin D. Were you eating at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for ...

    Many celiacs do eat naturally gluten-free products, for example tomato paste or sauces may not be labelled gluten-free, but are naturally. This section of our site has many articles on this: /celiac-disease/gluten-free-foods/ for example: Some celiacs only eat items with "gluten-free" or that are Certified Gluten-Free, but this could severely...

    Welcome @NoNummies! You did not mention if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Since you posted in this forum would it be safe to say that you are gluten-free? If so, you may also want to re-check your diet to make sure it is 100% gluten-free. Also, an article came out just today (need to find the link again) that indicates the best time...

    I believe many farmed fish alternatives would not have such a risk, and this issue is more with wild caught fish.

    Many larger supermarkets here in California now include their own in-house bakeries. Our local Safeway has one. I can often smell wheat bread baking when I'm shopping, but have never felt or gotten ill from this. There have been people on this forum who claim to get ill nearly instantly in such situations, but I do not believe that there is a scientific basis...

    Welcome to the forum @RussHunt! So this article is a summary of a study that covers this topic in more detail, and I will admit that it wasn't one of our most popular articles, but it is based on published research...we didn't just make it up. I think reactions will vary greatly from person to person, so it's probably best to do everything reasonable...

    TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) is voluntarily recalling one lot of Restaurant Style Italian Dressing sold under the brand name Tuscan Garden. This recall is being conducted because the product is labeled as Restaurant Style Italian Dressing, while some of the bottles may contain Asian Sesame Dressing. The Restaurant Style Italian Dressing label indicates...

    Type 1 Diabetes is more common on those with celiac disease, so I would begin by getting screened for that just to be safe. Also, recheck your diet for any hidden gluten, and I agree that you may need vitamin/mineral supplements as well.

    I looked at a few web sites, but none mention the food they serve. For example: https://www.therefuge-ahealingplace.com/ptsd-treatment/ This leads me to believe that you likely would need to call them to find out.

    This article is older, but still accurate:

    I want to add that you can order topical lidocaine lotion that can help with the itch, and some people have reported than Ben-Gay cream helps.

    Welcome to the forum! First, you have a positive tTg-IgA test for celiac disease, so there is a very high chance that you have celiac disease, which would mean that the rash you've described is very likely DH. To me it sounds like you might be trying to find another explanation for your rash, but given the evidence you presented, including your symptoms...
