    They are not the same tests. They do not diagnose Celiac.

    This new issue is especially wonderful - also has a great interview with Dr. Peter Green. A subsciption would be a great holiday gift to your favorite Celiac.

    That is not the case for USDA meats, which states that any grains that are added to a meat product must be listed - so it does include other sources of gluten.

    Against the Grain makes yummy bagels, too.

    To add to the posters explanations above - The other part of the story is that not everyone who has Celiac has Celiac. So the absence of symptoms of someone eating gluten/reintroducing gluten is not a reliable predictor of all Celiacs. Many with Celiac are 'silent' Celiacs and don't have the 'traditional' symptoms.

    In the latest issue of the magazine, Living Without, there is an interview with Dr. Peter Green of Columbia. He states, ".....Some people may feel better on a gluten free diet. If they dont' test positive for celiac disease, they may still be gluten sensitive. They may feel better by avoiding gluten, or just wheat....." Q: Is the line between Celiac...

    ARCHIVED Spices

    happygirl replied to The Mama's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    McCormick is a great company! Also, if any spice (a pure spice) is just one ingredient (say, Thyme, or Oregano) then it doesn't have anything else in it, per labeling laws, regardless of brand. Use these lists for help in learning which companies clearly declare wheat/rye/barley/barley malt/oats. Then, its easier to read labels on these companies...

    Here's the recipe to my favorite pumpkin cheesecake. Other good recipes - Open Original Shared Link my favorite pumpkin cheesecake recipe, which I made last year and others on the board did as well. I was the only Celiac at T-G and they loved it.

    FF, you are right - it would be unusual. If it were made from barley or wheat, it wouldn't be considered maltodextrin, according to FDA rules.

    I would talk to you doctor about doing the total IgA - if she is deficient, it may explain why she is positive on the IgG based tests (very strongly!) and negative on the IgA based tests. If she is IgA deficient, they may want to run the tTG IgG instead of the tTG IgA. Unless you know if she is IgA deficient or not, the AGA IgA and tTG IgA cannot be interpreted...
