    Due to food labeling changes, the only way that modified food starch would be a problem is if it said - modified food starch/wheat.

    I think the American Celiac Disease Alliance would be grateful for your help - I urge you to contact them! The represent all the large Celiac interest groups, and have pushed legislation through that is helping change labeling laws. Good for you for getting involved!!!!!!

    Directing all back to the member's original post, and reminding all members of the board rule #1 Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their views. This is not a place to quarrel.

    Interesting, because in 8/08 they said: Open Original Shared Link "ConAgra Foods currently does not make "gluten-free" claims on any of our products as there are no federal regulations defining "gluten-free". I can, however, share some information that will be helpful for any of our ConAgra Foods products so you can determine whether or not the product...

    Your pharmacist is a better person to ask than your doctor. Your pharmacist can call the company and ask them for information regarding ingredients and the gluten free status of a drug. According to: Open Original Shared Link it is gluten free. The ingredients (Open Original Shared Link) don't set off any red flags to me. Use this in conjunction...

    You want to the gene test for Celiac - they test for HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8.

    If you need help, I'm certain that parents of children with celiac, even if they aren't in your area, would be willing to help. Post whatever questions you have - someone always has an answer. Welcome to the board!

    To me, the ingredients indicate it to be gluten free. I would eat it. If you need more information, I would contact the company. Enjoy and welcome to the board!

    Each individual member can only see their own 'warning level'. (Moderators can see everyone's levels, however). Regular members cannot see other's warn levels, nor can others see yours. You have not been 'warned' - so your level is at 0%. Members receive warnings when they violate board rules Open Original Shared Link No worries

    How is it that you would have a company on your back? This is an online forum/anonymous.

    After reviewing your diet, I would discuss the possibility of refractory sprue with your doctor. If he isn't knowledgable, I'd find one who is.

    Note that the original post and most of the thread is over 3 years old.

    I am not a doctor, so keep that in mind. It is not impossible to have Celiac and not have the genes. Rare - yes. About 95%-98% of confirmed Celiacs have one/both of the genes. I would get your blood work, your endoscopy/biopsy report, etc and seek a second opinion. Ask for a referral from a local Celiac support group. I don't think it could...

    The total IgA measures your ability to make IgA antibodies. The IgA test is not a test for Celiac. However, if you are IgA deficient, it means that the IgA based tests are pretty unreliable, and you could have Celiac, and not test positive for it. Also, IgA deficiency is more common in Celiacs than the general population. If you are IgA deficient, they...
