    Rum is gluten-free:
  2. Scott Adams
    Yes because 1) bourbon is distilled, and 2) bourbon is made from corn, but distillation would render it gluten-free even if it wasn’t.

    If you have celiac disease eating gluten would not be helpful towards your goal, which I hope is your health and well-being, right? I would keep a food diary, and consider something more akin to a Paleo diet where you eliminate starches and sugars.

    Given that you have Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease, AND chronic low iron, it is borderline malpractice that your doctor refuses to test you for celiac disease. Having either would be enough evidence to be screened for it, but having both AND IBS and not test? Also, a normal colonoscopy would not detect CD. To get a blood test keep eating gluten d...

    My sinuses were basically 90% clogged for over 20 years before I went gluten-free. I had gone to allergists, and at one point was giving myself daily allergy shots for food and pollen allergies, but nothing helped until I finally went gluten-free. So in my case the two were related, although allergy issues are not seen in most lists of celiac disease...

    I agree @cyclinglady that with cosmetics having "gluten-free" on the label probably isn't required, and going by ingredients is likely safe, but given the choice between buying one with it on the label vs. not I generally go with GF because they likely are more careful when sourcing ingredients than a company who may not be focused on the celiac crowd.

    Just keep in mind that she needs to be eating gluten daily for 4-6 weeks before blood tests, and continue eating it for any other tests.

    So the real question I have for you is do you need the official diagnosis to stay on a gluten-free diet? I ask this because you did go on the diet for a while and it seemed to help with your symptoms. In order to get an official diagnosis you would need to continue eating gluten for a while before getting the test, and your dermatologist would need to do...

    If your symptoms continue you may want to discuss them with your doctor, because it could also be something else. Let us know how things go.

    You are right! In fact, I've never seen any studies done on this, so I don't know how he can even made such a statement at all. What he should say directly is that we just don't know because there haven't been any studies on this. I've heard too many anecdotal stories of people with dermatitis herpetiformis or severe gluten sensitivity over the years...

    Welcome to the forum. Note that I converted your post to lower case for all capital letters, as all caps is widely considered on the Internet to be yelling. I recommend all lower case instead. I will assume that you are not accidentally eating gluten, which could cause this, but since it happens on an empty stomach it makes me wonder if it could be an...

    Celiac.com 06/25/2020 - Jell-O Pudding and Jell-O Instant Pudding are manufactured by Kraft Foods, and while Kraft does not specifically label Jell-O pudding products as gluten-free, nearly all of them are made without gluten ingredients...

    Just in case, here is a link to our Gluten-Free 101 content mentioned:
  17. Scott Adams
    Which co-op, and what brand do you mean?
  18. Scott Adams
    The only thing I would add is that technically speaking your numbers should go down, certainly after two years gluten-free, and it may make sense to re-check what you’ve been eating, including medications, lotions, makeup, etc., to rule out a source of hidden gluten.
  19. Scott Adams
    Can you share which brand caused you nausea?
  20. Scott Adams
    After reading the information in our reference link you will notice that swapping potato starch with corn starch would not be allowed, as corn is included in the top 8 allergens that can’t be added without proper labeling. However, is isn’t clear if this could happen with some other allergens, so you have a right to be concerned.

    I don't know the exact amount, however I do know it is considered to be low in oxalate:

    You didn't mention how often you eat out, as that can be a big factor:

    It looks like it is naturally gluten-free, but does not have "gluten-free" on the label: https://www.lubriderm.com/products/daily-moisture-lotion-fragrance-free

    Kraft has been good about disclosing all ingredients, and has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by not doing so. According to the ingredients there is no gluten, but it isn't labeled "gluten-free" or certified: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kraft-Baking-Caramel-Bits-11-oz-Bag/10308416

    We have a couple of recipes: The first uses chick pea and yam flour, and would likely be more healthy than the other which uses rice and tapioca flours.
