    I don't know how you were diagnosed as there aren't any reliable "food sensitivity" tests. But, if you want to avoid corn, maybe just avoid the obvious stuff and not worry about if a pig ate corn or if Xantham was grown on corn (I don't think it is).

    Right now...my toe that I smashed with a dropped can hurts sometimes.

    If you are asking about non- alcoholic cider, which I think you are - they should all be gluten-free. I wouldn't worry about them, but you can read the ingredients.

    If you don't believe a product is safe for you, you should not " give it a try". If you do not believe the company statement when they first started producing gluten-free items, then the only way to answer your question is to contact the company. If it were my company, I wouldn't feel the need to re- state my original explanation repeatedly, if it is unchanged...

    They are considered safe. Many of us use thier products. I have a friend that eats so much funfetti pancakes, she is probably rainbow colored inside! Lol Here is an article from when they were first introduced- Open Original Shared Link "General Mills uses “stringent” programs to prevent the risk of cross-contamination, and has tak...

    That isn't actually true about corn gluten. The use of the word " gluten" is confusing. In most of the world, the common use of " gluten" now means the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley. It is possible to have an additional problem with corn or any other food. Popcorn is a difficult food to digest. It seems to be irritating to the GI system...

    You probably won't hear back from this poster, as this was from 2013. Maybe you would like to start your own topic and ask your specific questions? I don't really understand what kind of " help" you are wanting or your specific issues.

    I think it can be hard to get those other levels elevated enough, sometimes in a child. "Anti-endomysial antibody test (EMA-IgA)—test specific for celiac disease. It is estimated that a person with an elevated level of EMA has an almost 100% chance of having celiac disease. However, this test is not as sensitive as the tTG-IgA test—about 5% ...

    I think I would be worried about a teacher that obviously doesn't know what gluten is. Never seen pickles with gluten. Sounds like the teacher just wanted to exclude the kid with the difficult parent? Maybe she probably felt that and the nervousness/anxiety made her feel sick.

    I think it depends on how clean you think you can get the machine and all its little crevices. If you think you can clean all the gluten out of it, maybe make a batch of gluten-free bread that you don't eat? To clean out the last bits of gluten dough?

    The ones labelled gluten-free have been fine for me. They have a few different ones.

    I don't know who made that list you are using, or how old it is or how accurate. Lots of people on the internet make "lists" and they can be helpful or really mess with people..... If you ask the people who actually make the drinks (the link Squirmy provided), they do not use barley in the drinks. And, it would be listed as an ingredient. It...

    Where did you get this info? I have never had a problem with them. If you have actual proof that they are using an ingredient that isn't listed, you should report them to the FDA. But, according to the website and the ingredients, there is no gluten. And it would be very unlikely there is gluten being used in the plant.

    Often people cut out dairy for at least the first few months. Celiac damages the part of your intestines that helps you digest lactose. So that might help. Also, read the Newbie 101 thread for some ideas.

    That is a common reaction to amoxicillin. One of my sons has that problem. He is grown, and the last time he needed antibiotics I had him tell them that amoxicillin really makes him sick. They gave him a different one. You might tell the doctor about it. Also, sometimes taking with a little food, like some rice, Chex or applesauce can be helpful.

    Where do you get that info from? Wheat flour is made from the seed portion of wheat. Mini wheat cereal contains gluten in the form of wheat flour.

    ARCHIVED Osteopenia

    kareng replied to Mshell's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Sure. That is a common with Celiac. Follow a strict gluten-free diet and follow the doctor's advice for more calcium and D -standard osteopenia advice. It is common for Celiac to have a hard time digesting dairy, especially for the first few months. Many times that comes back. Unless you need an epi pen for dairy and other foods, you probably are...

    And that is a whole other issue!

    I don't know where you live, but you might go to a farmers market and get a local grower. I get pecans and walnuts locally.

    This has been a problem for about a year now (since they came out). And we have had multiple topics/posts about it. I have seen the warnings in other places on the internet, too. I really didn't think too many Celiacs would eat them with all the contamination problems they have but I thought it was interesting to see that, now that they will sell in Canada...

    They made a mistake and there was a recall. That was fixed, I hope. But they haven't changed their method of testing for gluten. So it appears they are still letting some boxes come through with more than 20 ppm. I understand that the FDA is getting on them about it. I don't think they are considered safe for Celiacs, yet.
  22. kareng
    I think so. But they have never "fixed" the original problem.

    Open Original Shared Link An excerpt - " Recommendation The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) recommends that people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity DO NOT consume the gluten-free labeled Cheerios products at this time because of concerns about the potential levels of gluten in boxes of these cereals. The CCA is receptive to evaluating...

    Are there ingredients to read? They are usually very proud to call out wheat germ oil or oats ( tho that may not really be a wheat issue).
  25. kareng
    If you are eating gluten-free for 2 years, you cannot get Celiac testing done. So, I am thinking, that your problems are not Celiac but something else. So...you just self diagnosed Hashis and Graves? i can't tell from your posts. I am sorry, but that isn't how it works. Those are serious illness and you can't treat them yourself. Please see an...
