    Did she have a biopsy to confirm and has she had a follow up biopsy?

    My best piece of advice is to learn to effectively read food labels. And never assume something is gluten free. Hopefully this will make your life easier with food label reading --- Unsafe ingredients: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html Safe ingredients: https://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-...ents/Page1.html A...

    What diagnostic tests have been done on your daughter? (Note: both topics were merged into one thread since they were the same)

    Also could mean the damage done from Celiac (if we are going with the assumption he has Celiac) hasn't healed yet.

    He ran the tTG IgA, which is probably the best screening test for Celiac. According to it, you were negative. The other test is the total IgA, which measures your ability to produce IgA antibodies. If you were IgA deficient, and had Celiac, you couldn't test positive on any of the IgA based tests (tTG IgA, AGA IgA, EMA IgA, etc). According to your bloodwork...

    He has not published data that supports his gluten intolerance stool testing or genes-that is the concern here.

    You may want to talk to stores that ARE in business: www.glutenfreesource.com (PA) www.navanfoods.com (VA) also, Second Storehouse in VA.

    Jami, I think you are now required to post that recipe.

    They are about $2 more at Lilit as compared to Wegman's, FYI.

    Modified corn starch is safe. Modified food starch is usually from corn (safe). If it were derived from wheat, it would be labeled and say something like, "modified food starch - wheat." Caramel coloring in the US is generally safe. Wheat would be required to be listed.

    Janet's right -its the Creamy Mushroom that is gluten-free. For some recipes, you may need to thicken it a little bit with a gluten-free starch/flour.

    None of the tests are perfect, but those are what are often done as the first line screening. The tTG IgA is probably the best test out there for Celiac, and the total IgA measures if you can produce IgA antibodies. For example, the Celiac Center at the University of Chicago recently did their annual screening, and I'm pretty certain those are the two...

    We generally use the smaller loaf pans because thats what I prefer - and then it makes for easier freezing. Here is her recipe: Banana Bread 2 tsp vanilla 3/4 c sugar 1 1/2 mashed bananas (very ripe, 3-4 bananas) 3/4 c veg. oil 2 eggs, beaten with a fork 2 c "flour" of choice 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 c chopped...

    Bring your own food. When asked, "I have some food sensitivities/allergies/intolerances (take your pick) and so I brought my own food. This way, I can still enjoy the evening and not worry about eating something I shouldn't." And promptly change subject. Works everytime, for any occasion. Gets easier the more you say it.

    I heard I was summoned We've tried a ton of flours - and many of them we like. Some, not so much. However, our hands down favorite is one we just started using in the past year or so. Better Batter Gluten Free Flour. The owner of the company spoke at a GIG meeting and my family tried it - and have been hooked ever since. It already has the xanthan...

    If it was packed in broth that contained wheat, by FDA labeling law, it would be required to be listed.

    No - you haven't lost all ground! However, gluten sets off the autoimmune reaction, and the goal is to stop the autoimmune reaction (and subsequent damage and/or symptoms) from occurring. Just do the best you can - you'll find a balance after trial and error.
