How GliadinX Saved My Mom on Thanksgiving
Scott Adams commented on Celiac.com Sponsor: Review's article in Product Reviews
There is no currently available test for NCGS, but she has self diagnosed celiac disease, so high antibody readings, but decided not to do the biopsy. She had severe symptoms most of her life, and after I was formally diagnosed she decided to go gluten-free right after the antibody tests, and all of her symptoms vanished for the first time in her life. -
I think it is Schar and not Barilla that uses pea protein, to correct my previous post. It is highly doubtful that they are contaminated, but not impossible. I would suspect other possible causes before this pasta, and your son may have additional food intolerance issues that need to be discovered.

I didn't go through every one of their products, but most, if not all, appear to be naturally gluten-free by ingredient, but are not labelled "gluten-free:" https://www.mrsdash.com/products?search=page:1

how low is 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten ???
Scott Adams replied to DJFL77I's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Under 20 ppm is an extremely tiny amount that experts have concluded is the safety threshold for those with celiac disease. A small percentage of super sensitive celiacs and those with DH claim to still react to such small levels, but this has never been, as far as I know, verified scientifically. Celiacs have been shown to heal on diets containing under... -
No barley allergy, yet celiac?
Scott Adams replied to PolyBlank's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Also, you are correct that people with celiac disease cannot have barley, but as far as allergies go barley is not big as an allergen. The reason for this may be that, aside from its use in beer and some specialty breads, it isn't used as widely as wheat is. Wheat is in the list of top 8 allergens, while barley is a far less common allergy. -
Espresso coffee
Scott Adams replied to Krasi's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Pure coffee is gluten-free, so espresso made from pure coffee is gluten-free. I can't think of a way to cross contaminate an espresso. -

Believe it or not Snyder's makes some excellent gluten-free pretzels, but even so, it is more or less processed junk food that you would do best learning to avoid.

Question about Root Beer
Scott Adams replied to Tanya coles's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Since the company is based in Eugene, Oregon it's highly doubtful that they would pay to import the ingredient from Europe, as it would be many times more expensive. It is more likely that the maltodextrin is USA made from corn, but to be 100% sure why not call them? Let us know what you find out. Also, in Europe maltodextrin is made from "maize, wheat... -
celiac and DH and this mole itch me a little bit today
Scott Adams replied to saed's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
If you have been diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis, maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet is crucial to stopping the DH flares. Even tiny amounts of accidental gluten exposure, for example if you eat outside your home, could trigger a flare that could last for weeks. As far as the mole goes, it's always a good idea to have them looked at regularly... -

Rice Krispies Treats
Scott Adams replied to tracyloe's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Unfortunately malt flavor, which is normally made from barley, is on our forbidden list because it isn't gluten-free: However, Kellogg's used to make a gluten-free version of that cereal, but I'm not sure if they still do. There are also other companies that make spin offs of it that may be gluten-free, but be sure to check carefully. -

Stuffed Medjool Dates with Blue Cheese and Pistachios
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Snacks & Appetizers (Gluten-Free Recipes)
Actually almost no blue cheeses are made using the original method of using moldy bread as a culture (maybe none). This was not reliable in terms of the outcome. Now possibly all cheese makers use cultures they grow in a lab, instead of relying on old moldy bread from a cave. Over the 25 years this site's been online we've never heard of any major companies... -
My guess would be that he has a sensitivity to corn or legumes, because Barilla uses pea protein, but it is indeed gluten-free. My family uses Barilla exclusively, and we've never had issues.

Celiac.com 09/14/2020 - Researchers understand that celiac disease is marked by robust B cell and antibody responses to gluten, and to the transglutaminase 2 (TG2) autoantigen. In contrast, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is marked... -
I have no doubt that certain vitamin deficiencies can trigger long-term illness, and perhaps even autoimmune diseases. We’ll continue to publish any research that demonstrates this.
