If it were me, I would want to be sure I get an accurate biopsy result and start eating a little gluten everyday. The superficial damage can heal quickly. Sure, you might have enough damage to get an accurate result. Make sure he plans to take at least 6 biopsies to increase the chances that he finds some damage. The intestines are around 20 feet long...

ARCHIVED Prescription Drugs
kareng replied to curiousgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know why corn starch would have gluten in it - it is made of corn. -
To be clear - You originally put this in the "coping" with Celiac disease section and claimed that soy "glutened" you. As soy isn't considered a "gluten containing grain" this is a very misleading and false statement.

ARCHIVED Party Cake... Peeps!

I think she means it's an essential to life substance. -
I agree. I think there are a few gluten-free bakeries in the Denver area - just google them. I hadn't heard that the company that owns Udi's bread was trying to change the name. I doubt it has anything to do with Rudis. Udis bread was sold a few years ago. The restaurants, owned by someone different than the bread, are not doing much gluten-free...

ARCHIVED Forum Section For Non-Celiac On The Gluten-Free Diet?
kareng replied to GFinDC's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
I think that, because this is Celiac dot com, people will come on the forum as a whole expecting Celiac info. It is about more than just a gluten-free diet. Many people don't even pay attention to the titles of the sub- sections. They just know they have logged onto C.com or googled something and it is on c.com. Many people do come on here to figure out... -
For people reading this, a clarification - SOY is not gluten. Soy does not contain gluten. The OP might have a separate issue with soy.

That sounds yummy and lower fat and calories than most creamy dressings. This is a 4 year old thread that was brought back. -
ARCHIVED Isn't Baking Soda And Powder Gluten Free?
kareng replied to Bellamia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Most of it isn't labelled because it does not contain wheat. I have seen it once reported something like this - food starch ( wheat). Or wheat food starch. -
ARCHIVED Party Cake... Peeps!
kareng replied to Adalaide's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was at Walmart and did not find this flavor. But they had Bubble gum, raspberry, lemonade & another flavor. -
If you already knew this, what are you asking? Sorry. I thought you didn't know what they are. Well, as you know, a stricture could be caused by many things. If they are caused by things like diverticulitis, they might come and go, I would guess.

ARCHIVED What Is Vanillin?
kareng replied to kleitner1961's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Its vanilla flavor. It should be gluten-free. Google "vanillin". -
A stricture is a narrowing of a tube. it is usually referring to the esophagus (throat) or the urethra (the tube where pee comes out). Technically, any tube could have a stricture. And a polyp, tumor, Chrohn's, diverticulitis, constipation, etc could cause a stricture or narrowing. You can't diagnose yourself with a stricture of your intestines or...

I tried several different ways to look at your blog. The last one I saw was feb 4. I don't think people are actually reading the blog until you hit publish. -
ARCHIVED Good Gluten Free Salad Dressings
kareng replied to Glamour's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I do understand the post-baby hormones and sleepless nights. This was not apparent in your first post. Maybe come back when you can sleep for at least 6 hours straight? I know I felt like a new women at that point. Then we can help you understand the genetic component. Also, the immediacy of your reactions to a food worries me that you might also... -
ARCHIVED Need A Dr. Referral In Long Beach, Ca Area?
kareng replied to FruitEnthusiast's topic in Doctors
Celiac researchers hate that, for whatever reason, people decide to go gluten free before testing. Because, currently there is no way to test for Celiac in a gluten free person. Good Doctor's aren't supposed to "guess" and give you a diagnosis. They are working on a couple of different tests for Celiac that involve a smaller gluten challenge (3 days... -

Not sure what that stuff about watered down blood line/ ancestral versions means..... I have never seen any experts talking about that. From what I understand about how genes work, that doesn't make much sense. I would like to see some info on that. Perhaps you could make a new topic with links to that research? Companies in the US are allowed to label... -

I think that is what she said, too. -
ARCHIVED Good Gluten Free Salad Dressings
kareng replied to Glamour's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Some of them appear to be gluten free. These should be fine for most Celiacs. You could ask them what level they test to. Perhaps there are other ingredients that bother you. Open Original Shared Link However, if you are that sensitive, you don't eat foods made or produced by someone other than yourself. -
For a Celiac - a crumb is bad. A little gluten is as bad as a lot of gluten in terms of damage. Not sure if it makes any difference in your case. You might want to see if there are any ADHD forums or websites that explain the gluten-free diet for treatment of ADHD. Maybe they could answer that?

ARCHIVED Cocoa
kareng replied to Pumpkin19's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Cocoa is a single ingredient - cocoa. It is gluten-free. From the Nutella website: Is Nutella® hazelnut spread gluten free? Nutella® hazelnut spread does not contain any ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat, barley, rye, oats or triticale. There is also no risk of cross contamination with any gluten ingredients. -

It's possible here is something else going on. Sorry.... What study did you sign up for? -
ARCHIVED Party Cake... Peeps!
kareng replied to Adalaide's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They had lots of different colors but only marshmallow flavor. -
Maybe the mild pain is from the hysterectomy? Maybe you should get that re- checked? I don't know your history but, often , when the Celiac damage is healed, people find they can add a little dairy or other foods they had problems with before. Maybe skip the restaurants for a while? A plate of nachos at a Mexican place may not be gluten free....

Drywall or gypsum board is mainly gypsum ( a ground up rock) and glue. There is a slight chance 1 brand might use a small amount of wheat starch in it but it's not likely nor plentiful. I wouldn't eat it or anything with dust on it - but I doubt most people would. I think I would worry more about getting the wall finished and kicking the insurance companies...
