    Did he discuss refractory Celiac with you? You may want to see a Celiac specialist who has seen cases like yours. Open Original Shared Link

    Have you been diagnosed with Celiac or are you searching for a diagnosis?

    You can "get" Celiac at any point in life --- from infancy to the elderly. Skim milk is safe. Smoothies would have to be verified to be gluten free by checking the ingredients. --------------- Unsafe ingredients: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html Safe ingredients: https://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe...

    No one can see each others warning levels. The only people that can see an individual's warning level are you and the moderators. You can link to other websites, but not to websites that are yours. The board rules are here: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?act=boardrules You aren't doing anything wrong at all

    Salax: Welcome to the board - thank you for sharing your story - I'm sure that many others can relate. The good news is you finally DO have an answer. I hope you stick around and make yourself at home!

    Replace "moderators" with members and I'm sure someone will agree that every post has, by someone's definition, 'bogus' information. "Bogus information" is obviously, in many cases, subjective.

    Uno's also has gluten free pizza.

    Prescriptions, etc., are covered. However, the previous poster is correct - it is the difference in cost, not the total cost, of food. It is also subject to the 7.5% health expenses rule. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/tax-deductions-for-gluten-free-food/ https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free...

    It is gluten free. Yes, unless you have verified that it is gluten free.

    Hi Jamie - Its not just you. Open Original Shared Link "Q: I feel hungry all the time. Is that normal? Yes, it is very common. Your body is making up for the time it wasn't fully absorbing foods. Hunger levels tend to normalize within the first months after eliminating gluten and beginning a well balanced diet of gluten-free foods."

    Maltodextrin is generally gluten free in the US, and would have wheat listed if for some reason it were derived from wheat. FDA states it does not come from wheat by definition.

    The total IgA test isn't a Celiac test (does not diagnose Celiac) but is run in conjunction with the Celiac tests to determine their accuracy. If he was IgA deficient, the tTG IgA and Gliadin AB could give false negatives. However, based on the lab result, he is not IgA deficient (which is good for testing). The tTG is one of the most sensitive/specific...

    You may want to ask your doctor to run the more specific tests for Celiac - like the tTG IgA and the EMA IgA. I'm guessing that the tests you had done were the AGA IgA and the AGA IgG. No one test is perfect, but the tTG and/or EMA tests are more sensitive/specific than the AGA tests. After you get the results of those, you can then make a decision with...

    Products sold in the USA are probably different than products sold outside of the USA. I would contact the company for specific info regarding where you live.

    With a cooler, bringing food with you, and stopping at grocery stores. Hopefully others will have more ideas.

    It doesn't matter what the country of origin's labeling laws are - if it is sold in the USA, it is governed by USA rules. I would eat it.
