    Just an FYI - wheat is not GMO.

    So, this whole article is not for the people on this site. Would we allow people to post a gluteny bread recipe and say "And, of course, for diets of medical necessity (such as gluten-free eating for someone with celiac disease), this recipe unfortunately isn’t an option."? Or tell us about a great new Oreo flavor they love and say "And, of course, for d...

    I don't get it either. These food sensitivity tests have little to no real science behind them. Do what you want with the results.

    I see this is copied off someone's else's page- what's going on?

    What do you mean by “I monitor the comments very closely on here to ensure commenters aren’t leaving wrong info for others to follow”? You have only been a member here since yesterday. ?

    Natural flavors do not contain gluten. Some of these creamers do contain a lot of odd ingredients - hard to know which one is bothering you.

    In the US, natural flavors can not contain gluten unless they list it.

    You might want to find a new doctor. Celiac blood tests take a week at most. But taking steroids could mess up the blood work.

    Do you have Celiac disease? Why is your face puffy? There are so many reasons for a puffy face. A gluten free first doesn’t fix everything

    Before you decide you are a Celiac( or let a doctor decide) you might want to get checked for other autoimmune diseases that can cause a slightly high TTG IGA and a very high total IGA

    I think there is some natural fluctuation. that is why there is a range not a definite number.

    You need to get a copy of those test results. I hesitate to answer because I am not sure if they are talking about total serum IGA - which is not directly related to Celiac or a TTg IGA test is elevated. The simple explanation of serum IGA is - it is taken to see if you can make IGAs that are "counted" for the ttg Iga Celiac test. a few people don...

    I wonder if you called again and got another person - if you would get another answer? Its so frustrating. They don't test for gluten so thier lawyers say they can't call it gluten free. Based on the ingredients listed above,I would take it..... I mean if I was 20 years younger and wanting another baby. I hope it helps you.

    Look up vasovagal reaction or response. Its not too serious, but you will want to try to manage it. Sometimes just recognizing that it will happen and sitting down, taking a deep breath, etc can help. Getting scared can make it worse.

    Open Original Shared Link Natural flavorings are not considered a Celiac issue. ON the rare occasion they are made from wheat it must say that on the label. And distilled alcohol is gluten free no matter what grain it is made from. Open Original Shared Link

    I wonder if she has an ulcer? Diverticulitis? They should find the ulcer during the endoscope. And if They don’t find anything they should do a colonoscopy. Maybe they could do both at the same time?

    One thing to consider is that you may be eating very differently than before. Healthier but a sudden diet change can cause issues. For example, more fiber, less fat, etc.

    How could we know all that from your first post? It sounded like you ate at a restaurant or a friends house. Most people who have only been gluten-free for a month are still trying to figure it out.

    I don't worry about maltodextrin. Didn't the Natures Made say gluten-free on it? It usually does.

    It can take months to heal.... but who made this supposedly gluten-free dinner? There is more to it than just gluten-free ingredients. You might be better off sticking to some simple gluten-free food you fix yourself for a few months. Read the newbie thread for some tips. Read the newbie thread for some info.

    Horseradish kills my stomach - nothing to do with gluten. But the deal with Passover is they can't have any wheat or barley - so, no matter how its made, it can't contain that

    So you have seen your actual Celiac tests and they were positive years ago? And your mom didn't understand it was for Celiac? Those are all the tests you need if those are real.

    The truth is that a couple of cheats or accidental gluten probably won’t kill you. But I hate to hear docs telling people it’s Ok to cheat because they do cheat. It isn’t as bad as they thought.... so they do it again... pretty soon they are back to eating gluten and damaging themselves. But it’s OK because some idiot with an MD said it was Ok. Even ...

    Open Original Shared Link The main difference is that "malt vinegar" is not distilled. Common vinegars - like the cheap white vinegar you get to clean with - it will say distilled on it somewhere. I only worry about malt vinegar but I always read the ingredients in case I picked up the wrong thing. "Passover vinegar" isn't used as a name of vinegar...
