    GFWD tested a different batch! They did not run any tests on the batch which tested positive. So what could their posts possibly mean for anyone who might have bagels from the contaminated batch in their freezer or refrigerator? So according to you their article is telling celiacs to go ahead and eat them, is that right?

    The first one looks ok, but the 2nd one contais sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate. This ingredient is a modified starch. While it's often derived from corn or potatoes, it's worth confirming that it is not sourced from wheat in case you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. https://www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers/soothing-body-wash https...

    You haven't answered what GFWD's position is--should celiacs eat Trader Joe's bagels from that lot number if they have some in their refrigerator? What do the posts by GFWD say about this? What is their position? We are not making "personal attacks" or "fear mongering" here. Do you realize that a fully accredited lab has tested nearly 300 ppm of gluten in...

    Three people in my family with celiac disease have eating their fries for years with zero issues, but I can understand why some very sensitive celiacs my way to avoid them.

    McDonald's French fries in the U.S. are generally considered safe for most with celiac disease. However, there is some concern within the gluten-sensitive community because the fries are made with a "natural beef flavor" that includes hydrolyzed wheat as a component. According to McDonald's, the wheat in the flavoring is processed in a way that removes gluten...

    If it has gluten-free on the label, then it should be gluten-free, but of course there is still a very small chance that there could have been an issue with your lot. Are there any other ingredients in it that you might be sensitive to? This article may be helpful:

    So be sure to confirm the meaning with your doctor, but this endoscopy result might indicate the following: Gastric Lesion Biopsy: Foveolar Glandular Hyperplasia, which is a thickening of the stomach lining, typically due to chronic irritation or inflammation. Duodenum: Villous Atrophy and Intraepithelial Lymphocytosis, meaning there is damage...

    I have emailed Cynthia Kelly, the CEO of the GIG and GFCO, to ask questions about where in their step down process the companies are which recently tested positive for gluten, and she confirmed that she could not reveal this information due to their NDA. To me, the real issue here is that everything seems to be done behind the scenes--the companies can...

    Feel free to share the info and we can take a stab at what we think they might mean. We're not doctors but have seen quite a few biopsy results over the years.

    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    In general wheat straw is considered to be gluten-free, as the protein is only found in the seed/grain part of the plant. The growing popularity of using wheat straws as actual drinking straws made me write to a company that made them to see if they are gluten-free, and below is their reply: However, this study shows that there may be a risk:

    But the GFWD's posts don't make any claim either way about whether the products that tested positive for gluten should be avoided by those with celiac disease--so what then is their point--are they safe or not? Does GFWD mean that we can simply disregard the results entirely--which were found by an ISO17025 accredited laboratory that is approved by the...

    I am thinking a B12 deficiency, which is quite common among those with celiac disease. To absorb B12 properly it is best to take the other B vitamins with it as well, so the multivitamin approach is a good idea.

    Hi there! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this. It’s definitely frustrating when something labeled “gluten-free” still causes reactions. Yeast extract can be tricky because, while it’s usually gluten-free, it can sometimes contain trace amounts of gluten depending on how it’s processed. Also, some people with celiac or gluten sensitivity might react t...

    That is an interesting craving, and likely may be due to a nutritional deficiency. Are you taking a good high potent vitamin/mineral supplement? Most people with celiac disease need to take them, especially in the 1-2 years after diagnosis. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition...

    The original company was purchased by Medline Industries, Inc., and they initially made the test modules available for a short time, but have apparently pulled the plug on the Nima Sensor. I am not sure exactly why, but suspect that it was purely a financial decision.

    I definitely read both of her responses on this topic, and totally disagree with her stance on this issue. Did you read this article? We also talked to Romer, the maker of the tests used in the Moms Across America study, and they don't agree that adding milk protein is needed in this case. Additionally, HRI also tested Canyon Bakehouse Plain Bagels which...

    As sick as I was at the time of my diagnosis, I would be happier eating potato and cabbage soup for the rest of my life, rather than anything with gluten. I think this article reflects the fallacy that all the items one is used to eating must be replaced with gluten-free versions. This can be a lot more expensive indeed, however, the better choice is to learn...

    Can you share just what exactly about this article you find to be "hype"? It is Gluten Free Watchdog who needs to reconsider their position, which is the position of our article.
  23. Scott Adams
    This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    Unless the oven is just caked with gluten it isn't likely that your pizza would get contaminated to the point where it would be above 20 ppm gluten. A basic cleaning like you did should do the trick.

    Celiac.com 08/14/2024 - Refractory celiac disease type II, commonly referred to as RCDII, is a rare and severe form of celiac disease. Unlike typical celiac disease, RCDII does not respond to a gluten-free diet. This condition is marked...
