    More information about "Which Liqueurs Are Gluten-Free?"
    02/04/2021 - We get a lot of questions about whether certain products are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. One question we've seen a lot is about liqueurs. Specifically, which liqueurs are gluten-free and safe for people...

    Quaker I believe has "gluten-free" on their label, so I do not believe that Bob's would be any different with regard to possible contamination issues. If you have a sensitivity to oats it would also not make a difference what brand you ate. Have you considered Quinoa or other grains?

    If they will do the test again without charge, why not? Here is more info on the typical recommended blood testing protocol:

    It might be a tough sell to have your insurance company cover a biopsy if you've been gluten-free for a long time. In genera they want you to do a gluten challenge, and do this to make an official diagnosis, and provide follow up care (which rarely happens!). Since you're opposed to a gluten challenge, you could get stuck with the bill for a biopsy...not...

    I don't know for sure about Quaker oats, but I do not believe that they are using the same optical sorting technology that General Mills is using, and that they must therefore be sourcing their oats from farmers who don't grow wheat. Keep in mind that ~10% of celiac also have an intolerance to the protein (Avenin) in oats, and there are other things...

    This is very interesting, and we have done many medical summaries of heart issues in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/heart-failure-and-celiac-disease/ I don't believe any of them mentioned being able to go off certain medications after going gluten-free, but it does seem...

    They usually list inactive ingredients on the label, but this site may also have the info you seek: https://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/

    I would disagree that food allergy/sensitivity tests are not worth doing. I am about to re-do food sensitivity testing myself because I know that there are things in my diet that I'm allergic to on some level, and I want to see how I feel if I eliminate them for a while. I'll be writing an article on my experience, but I've already mentioned several times...

    More information about "Gluten-Free Roasted Sausage and Apples"
    Celiac.com 02/03/2021 - Cold weather is prime apple season, and this easy-to-make gluten-free dish pays homage to this winter gem with a simple marriage of apples, sausage, brown sugar, and a bit of lemon juice. It makes a great breakfast...

    Let us know how it turns out.

    If your symptoms when eating gluten are so severe you may want to forgo a formal diagnosis and not torture yourself further...it seems you have the answer.

    Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? If you eat outside your home it likely isn’t. Many celiacs have additional food intolerances, do you have issues with other foods like nightshades, soy, eggs, dairy, etc.?
  15. Scott Adams
    I believe you may have an oat sensitivity, or issues with other ingredients, but they are gluten-free.
  16. Scott Adams
    My guess is that the oatmeal would be pretty low in gluten, and would not be enough, since they recommend a slice of wheat bread per day for a gluten challenge.

    To me this makes it a pretty clear cut case of gluten sensitivity, and likely celiac disease. Personally if it is this black and white for you I would not undergo the torture of a gluten challenge. The gene test could be done at any time, but would not confirm diagnosis.

    How long have you been on a gluten-free diet? It took me 1-2 years to recover from several temporary food intolerance issues. For me it was cow's milk, chicken eggs, tomatoes, corn and to a certain extent, garlic. I can now have all of these, but they did cause me serious issues for a while. Many celiacs who still have issues after going gluten-free...

    I believe they are the same size, and yes, they do taste exactly like the originals...I can't tell the difference.

    I've never heard of salt containing gluten, but Morton brand should be fine. If you are concerned about this perhaps get a rock type salt and a grinder.

    It should be safe from gluten:

    Talc is a naturally occurring mineral I believe, and is used to make talcum power.

    They would not increase any celiac antibodies unless they were contaminated with gluten, which is unlikely. The only issue with potatoes would be if you had issues with nightshades, which some people have, but this would not be related to celiac disease.

    While I don't think that you can overdose (I may be wrong here), but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I too have supplemented for years on B12, and my levels were similar to yours. I've had issues for years of having a high red blood cell count, and B12 increases production of red blood cells (among other things), so I've cut back quite...
