Just so you know, there have been studies done and even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu, you still run a pretty high risk of getting small amounts of contamination. When I eat out I take a couple of AN-PEP enzymes beforehand (GliadinX makes one which is a sponsor here--there are many studies that show this enzyme will break down small amounts of gluten...

I'm still trying to figure this out. The FDA Rule says: "The records need to provide adequate assurance that the food or ingredients used in the food are “gluten-free” before fermentation or hydrolysis." So I'm not sure exactly how wheat starch fits into this.

Welcome to the forum! Actually to get properly screened for celiac disease you would want to do both a blood test, then a biopsy, and you would need to eat gluten daily for at least 12 weeks before the blood test, and then at least 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy: But it sounds to me like you have your answer--you at least are gluten sensitive based on...

Dr. Kenneth Fine does offer stool testing for celiac disease, however this method of diagnosis may not be generally accepted by the greater medical community. In this case it might be a good alternative, and perhaps include a genetic test if possible: https://www.enterolab.com/

Welcome to the forum! It looks like you initially had 2 positive blood tests for celiac disease, as you show: DGP IgG (21.1 CU) REF RANGE <20 CU Also, many gluten-free products use gums like xanthan gum, which can cause issues with some people:

So I stand corrected, as some people commented on this article: and mention that the product uses gluten-removed wheat starch. They have been using this in Europe for decades, and it is gluten-free and below 20ppm: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius...

DiGiorno Debuts Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
There were comments posted shortly after we published this article that it contains gluten-removed wheat starch, which we could not verify at the time because the pizzas were not on the shelf, and we could not reach Nestle. We finally got our answer and the product does indeed contain wheat starch, and we've revised the article. Obviously the product is still... -
Where can I buy gluten free wheat starch?
Scott Adams replied to JohnJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We used to import this bread and sell it on The Gluten-Free Mall ages ago, but I doubt you can get it now without paying international shipping: https://www.odlums.ie/our-products/?category=42 -
Feel free to share your blood test results along with the markers for a positive result if you’d like.

There is a home test you can order for under $100, but you need to be eating gluten on a daily basis for ~12 weeks before blood tests can be done: https://www.imaware.health It’s definitely time for a new doctor no matter what happens, as yours clearly doesn’t have your best interest—your health—in mind!

All over body swelling
Scott Adams replied to SophieB333's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think the fact that you could not eat gluten daily for a few weeks in order to get tested pretty much sums it up--you probably are gluten sensitive and no matter what the test results would indicate, you should go gluten-free. -
A single positive blood test should be enough for you to consider going gluten-free, even if the biopsy results are inconclusive. You could ask some questions around this idea.
