    I've done very well at Cold Stone. They mix my ice cream in a separate container so it isn't mixed on the "cold stone" to prevent cross contamination.

    See the response I received from the company: "We do use a distilled malt vinegar. Products have been tested by third party. Gliadin is a glycoprotein that is an essential building block of gluten. Our testing validates that there is no wheat and no gluten."

    I'd first ask for the manager, and based on their response, make up my mind whether to stay or leave. It may be that the server was new, or just a bad server, but the rest of the staff was great. It would be helpful for the management to know if they are not meeting their customers' needs. Or, the whole place may be terrible, and you would not have felt...

    Sounds like she is positive on all tests run for Celiac. However, do not start the gluten free diet until you have discussed it with your doctor, as they may want to do further tests. Luckily, your appointment is coming up shortly. Use that time to learn a bit about Celiac.

    According to Open Original Shared Link, it is. Gluten would be the least of my concerns at that point.

    www.apfed.org is a good resource. I think there are a few members on here who have it or their children have it....mommida, I think?

    Welcome to the board! By your test results, it sounds like you will likely have a diagnosis of Celiac from your GI. This is a great resource to help adjust if you end up going gluten free. Many people do significantly better once they get the diagnosis and feel so much better on the gluten free diet.

    Breyer's: Open Original Shared Link Edy's: "On the Flavor Finder page, you will need to click in the "Gluten-Free" box, and then click on "Find it". A list of their gluten-free products will then appear. Open Original Shared Link " from: Open Original Shared Link

    Even if you were tested, there are newer/more sensitive tests for Celiac since you were last seen by those doctors. You may not have had it then/tested positive then, but you could test positive now. Open Original Shared Link

    According to this site, run by a pharmacist, Prilosec is gluten free Open Original Shared Link I can't speak to if its lactose free. Can he take lactaid, though?

    Find a local support group for Celiac Disease, and ask them for recommendations of doctors in your area that their members use that are familiar with Celiac.

    While I'm not a doctor, with both the IgG and IgA tests positive, it would be more likely that he has Celiac or a gluten sensitivity as compared to someone who is negative on both of those tests. The doctor will probably be interested in doing an endoscopy/biopsy to look for Celiac-related damage in the small intestine.

    Your son's doctor ordered five tests - tTG IgA (negative) AGA IgA (high) AGA IgG (high) tTG IgG (negative) EMA IgA (negative) Based on the anti-gliadin IgA and IgG tests, it appears that your son is producing antibodies to gluten. Also, testing is not as sensitive/specific in young children (meaning, they can often have Celiac but not test positive...

    Welcome to the board. You can make gluten free bread, dry it, and then put it in the food processor to make your own. Purchase gluten free bread crumbs - many, many brands. For example: Open Original Shared Link

    This may be one of my absolute favorite posts that I have ever read on this board. I'm happy you took the time to "start" the thread and share your wonderful story. Your daughter is lucky to have you as her mom.
