    Many of McCormick's taco seasoning packets are gluten free. McCormick has a clear gluten labeling policy, so if you don't see it --- its safe!

    And share this article with your doctors. Highlight the part I am including here. Open Original Shared Link "According to the Mayo Clinic, this study, which is the first of its kind, used capsule endoscopy to view intestinal damage in 38 patients with untreated, biopsy-proven celiac disease. Indications for clinical evaluation were malabsorption syndrome...

    It doesn't have to be a lifetime diet if it doesn't work. Its often called a gluten free trial. Go gluten free for "x" amount of time. If it works, stick with it. If it doesn't, then go back to gluten.

    Yes, that can be true, but its usually more of a concern for younger children. You'll need to ask your doctor why they think it may be Celiac. Also ask them what other conditions they are considering beyond Celiac. Ask them how many biopsies they took during the scope....they need to have taken 4-6 for it to be accurate (so that they don't miss any...

    It means on this test, you daughter didn't test positive for elevated tTG antibodies. It could mean she doesn't have Celiac, or it could mean that the testing didn't pick up on the damage she does have (if she has Celiac). www.celiaccentral.org and www.celiacdiseasecenter.columbia.edu are good resources to check out. When do you get the results...

    Yes, and it always turns out great. Stuffing is an easy one, luckily. Hang in there---it will all work out.

    The IgA test (305) measures to see if your body makes enough IgA to do accurate testing. If it is low, other tests may be false negatives. According to this, your daughter is not IgA deficient. Total IgA testing alone is not a Celiac test, but is used to assess the accuracy of the other Celiac tests. If you don't make enough IgA, even if you have a raging...

    www.apfed.org is a good resource for those with eosinophilic disorders, if that ends up as your diagnosis.

    Susie, Prayers for David and his family, and for you to have the strength to help support them all.

    It means you definitely have Celiac and you are lucky to get diagnosed . Hard to say about the level of damage ... there is some literature that some of the antibodies may be predictive of what your villi in your intestines look like. Be thankful you didn't have to struggle for diagnosis and you can move on to eating healthy and taking care of you and your...

    We throw them in the fryer, plain. Once done, we mix them in a bowl with buffalo wing sauce. Serve. Make a mess. Repeat.

    Kix is a General Mills product. GM has a policy of clearly labeling any gluten, so if Wheat, Rye, Barley, Barley Malt, or Oats isn't listed, it isn't in there. A list of other companies that have clear gluten labeling policies: Open Original Shared Link According the general mills website, Kix has oats in it, so it is not safe. Regular, mainstream...

    Another note to add that moderators have always been able to see warning levels of everyone, even before this software upgrade. The warning ability has always been there; the only difference now is that you can see your own.

    My apologies for the confusion over "DD," but I am happy the mystery has been solved. It gave me a very good laugh this afternoon though! Bev, I'm thinking of you!!!

    Popping in to tell you all that I spent the day at one of the least likely places a Celiac would go to. An all day beer fest! I, of course, was not drinking, and was the coolest DD to my husband and friends. I refused to touch anything in the whole place!!!! But, a beautiful day and a lot of fun, even for the sober girl . Can't say sober...
