    Company Announcement Fairmont Foods, Inc. of Fairmont, MN is recalling corrugated boxes of Schwan’s Brand “Spinach and Artichoke Dip” with date code P82013 xxxx due to undeclared soy and wheat. People who have allergies or sensitivities to soy and wheat run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if the recalled product is consumed. ...

    So you didn’t read the quote or the source material that I posted?

    I’m drawing a blank here, sorry…are you sure that I recommended this?

    I just want to mention that there is a misconception about the Gluten-Free labeling laws, and foods are not fortified with gluten up to 20 ppm, so most foods that have “gluten-free” on their labels will usually have no detectable gluten in them, and are normally tested and monitored for gluten during production to avoid a possible product recall and lawsuit. So...

    Even though these products are still in a grey zone and aren’t legal on a federal level, it looks like those who make them are still regulated by the FDA, but the FDA needs to clarify things more for sure: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/public-health-focus/fda-regulation-cannabis-and-cannabis-derived-products-including-cannabidiol-cbd#food “Fo...

    Welcome to the forum. This thread is older so you may not get a reply from the original posters, but it’s my understanding that such high levels should not hurt you, although my doctor asked me to cut back on my B12 supplementation when my levels hit 1,500.

    Please let us know how things turn out, and good luck!

    I do not believe that cannabis edible products are excluded from FDA regulations, including using the term gluten-free on their packaging.
  9. Scott Adams
    I believe that the important thing is that they say "gluten-free" on the packaging, which should mean that they are safe for celiacs.

    I've not, but look for comments below from those who have.

    PS - This study is also important, and we have a summary about it that will be on our site on Monday: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2021-322000 This indicated that CD can be diagnosed in children at 5x levels...

    We do have some recipes for gluten-free biscuits in this category: /celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-recipes-biscuits-rolls-amp-buns/

    Please share this study with your doctor to see if a biopsy is necessary:

    Welcome to the forum! It is really sad that your doctors are so ignorant about DH and celiac disease, as it is one of the most common autoimmune diseases on Earth...at least 1% of people have it, and around 10% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (no tests are available yet for NCGS). In any case, it sounds to me like you've found the culprit even...

    No worries, and it is possible there is a manufacturing issue with that brand, but be sure also to check for other ingredients, for example soy, to see if your reaction might be due to an additional intolerance that you may have.
  16. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear about your DH symptoms. How well are you doing on your gluten-free diet? With DH, it is extremely important to eliminate 100% of gluten. The article below may help you with that. Also, there are lotions available with up to 5% lidocaine, at least in the USA, which could also help.
  17. Scott Adams
    I agree with @trents and would discontinue any diet plan that could not guarantee that their food is gluten-free.
  18. Scott Adams
    Have you considered soy intolerance or an intolerance to another ingredient?
  19. Scott Adams
    I believe that the laws in Australia are even stricter than the USA for using the claim "gluten-free" on product labels, but is it possible that their beans are causing you gastric issues, as they can with many people, celiac or not? Also, it might be good to call the company directly to ask them about whether or not their products could be contaminated...

    A quick look at the product on Amazon indicates that it is gluten-free. I looked at the ingredients and there are no red flags. According to the makers it is:

    Welcome to the forum! For more celiacs supplementation is necessary for their recovery. A good multivitamin with minerals that includes a B-complex, D3, calcium, magnesium, etc. would likely be a good starting point. Your joint issues could certainly be related to celiac disease, but there is a chance that they are a separate condition as well, so be...

    Your initial tests on 1-21-21 definitely indicate that you have celiac disease. Looking at the 2nd test results, it is possible that you're getting small amounts of contamination often enough that you're hindering your recovery. I agree with @trents and you should eliminate oats as well. This article may be helpful:

    I just want to mention that potassium can lower you blood pressure, and I believe that high levels over a long period of time can also cause kidney issues. The blood pressure med I take include potassium, and because I take it my doctor gives me a regular blood test to monitor my kidney function.
  24. Scott Adams
    Let us know how it turns out. Also, keep in mind that there is also a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which may be up to 10x more common than celiac disease, yet there are no tests for it at this point. In other words, if you get negative results but still have symptoms, you may still want to try out a gluten-free diet for a few weeks to see...

    Can you share its ingredients? It sounds like it would be naturally gluten-free, and would likely have no gluten in it. Garlic can upset some people's stomach, and cause IBS-like symptoms, but garlic is gluten-free.
