    I think that would be a wonderful question to ask your doctor.

    It may be particularly useful to have the testing done, esp if there are no symptoms. Having it 'definite' in your mind may help with adherence to the diet.

    The fries there are cooked in oil that is used for gluten containing products.

    It sounds like your tests were through Enterolab. Enterolab, by definition, cannot diagnose Celiac. However, it does not test for Celiac, so you won't know if you actually do have it or not.

    We use a pre-mixed flour mix called better batter gluten free flour. It has a great mix of flours, and already has xanthan gum in it. We use it one for one in all our 'regular' recipes - it's the best mix we have used in the past 4+ years. Open Original Shared Link

    Melissa, Let us know what the doctor has to say. Ask if the total IgA test was run, also. If he gets diagnosed with Celiac or you decide to try the diet, we will teach you how to read labels like a pro. No worries. But, no need to overwhelm you with info now - focus on the appointment tomorrow, and let us know how it goes. Good luck!

    Melissa - FYI, Rice Krispies aren't gluten free. They have barley malt in them. If he ends up going gluten free, don't worry, there are gluten free specialty brand of Rice Krispies.

    They are a highly respected Celiac center and the screening they do is an invaluable service. Yes, it is the tTG that they test. Open Original Shared Link Keep in mind, if your tests are negative, then it may not be a true negative. Good luck, and keep us updated.

    It depends on which blood tests are being run, and how long you've been gluten free.
