    this is new: Open Original Shared Link Not sure if throwing out chocolate is true. Looks like most candy is made on shared equipment so you can choose for your self. Looks like almost everything they make is gluten free. I will still eat them.

    These original posts are 6 years old. The products may not contain the same ingredients any longer. Please look at the ingredients, company websites, maybe even email the company if you feel the need. Just don't make any assumptions based on such old info.

    That part about your friend doesn't make sense? Why would he test positive for gluten sensitivity one time and, after eating a lot of gluten, test negative? And, even if he went gluten free after his positive test, isn't the point that you don't need to eat gluten to get a positive test? So he should still test positive?

    Here's some info from real celiac researchers: "We only embrace tests that have endured rigorous scientific evaluations. So far, these tests have received no evidence-based support." Open Original Shared Link Just my personal opinion - I have never seen anyone ask for a gluten test from them and get a negative. To me, that is suspicious.

    If you are sure the some foods are gluten-free, why not ask if you could serve yourself first? Or straight from the pan in the kitchen? I would worry about cc. My neighbor wanted to make gluten-free latkes so I gave her some rice flour. She knew to fry the gluten-free ones first but hadn't thought about her colander. She drains and squeezes the moisture...

    Maybe you are having some other issues? You did already feel horrible when you took it.

    Lucky you! They catered at ICDS in Chicago and I had the best Mac and cheese! No one cared it was gluten-free it was sooooooo good! Look there are more locations Open Original Shared Link

    Would be great if it works!

    I think they are good. We don't always like the same crackers. They are a nice large cracker.

    I got those. They are very normal cracker-like. My hub really liked them.

    I have used white vinegar on my Kitchen aid when we used it for gluten. It seems to loosen up the stickiness of flour.

    Getting our information from reliable sources like Celiac Medical Centers: Maybe this will be helpful Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Do you know which blood tests you had? A few people ( about 5%) need a special blood test. Get a copy of the blood work and see what they did.

    It is probably OK to test. Maybe just make sure you eat some gluten for a couple of weeks first? You want to make sure you get the correct result. The amount doesn't have to be much. This link is for someone who has been gluten-free for a prolonged time. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/105280-tested-negative-for-blood-test/#entry897266 "For...

    Many of us have seen that there are a lot of doctors that do not keep up with research and current standards of practice for Celiac disease. Labs sometimes use different units of measurement so the ranges would be different.

    Would you like to say where you live? Maybe someone will know a gluten-free bakery that will make one for you? I have found that some local gluten-free bakeries will make special orders. Any place that sells gluten-free locally made cookies or pizza crusts? Like a coffee shop or health food place? Find out who bakes for them. We have a few bakers that...

    Humans have 16-20 feet of small intestines. Usually, the whole intestine isn't damaged. So, Even if you have a lot of damage, 2 or 3 tiny biopsies may miss the damaged spots. Also, eating gluten free will cause the intestines to heal and make it even harder to find damage.

    It is likely that being gluten free for several months could cause a blood test to be negative. Talks about being gluten-free and getting negative blood tests: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Current blood tests are quite accurate. Some of the older ones were not as good and that may be why the rumor that blood tests...

    My antibodies took a year to come down to 0. Maybe you will be so " lucky"?

    You haven't been gluten-free for very long so , maybe you wouldn't need the whole 12 weeks. My guess would be at least a month. Open Original Shared Link

    So true. What theya re saying is that - Some baked goods have more gluten because they are adding additional " wheat gluten" to the recipe. It isn't that the wheat has more gluten, it's that they are using more in some baked goods.

    Not that that was exactly the issue here, but, of course. I can't remember every candy that is gluten-free or no gluten. First rule of Celiac Club - " Do NOT eat anything if you don't know the ingredients"
  22. kareng
    I think you should go back on gluten and get a Celiac test. You sound like you will always doubt if gluten is an issue - and maybe it's not! ( I know - I'm a rebel! :0 )

    You might look at this site. I'll see if someone I know in the area will post or give me some to post Open Original Shared Link

    I agree with Irish on this. Also, what proof do you have that Captain Morgans rum drinks have gluten? Or any dark rums? Last I heard, they were gluten-free but I don't drink them so I haven't kept up with that.

    6 months later, the accepted medical/ research still says the same thing: Open Original Shared Link "What’s with all the talk about certain types of food causing “cross-reactivity?” There is not yet reliable data about cross-reactivity. As for the alleged possibility that many gluten-free foods or drinks (such as coffee, milk, orange juice, etc.) wou...
