    I think they assume she has Celiac, but I believe, never had a positive biopsy because she was gluten free already?

    These are the tests often run for Celiac: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. It sounds like he is IgA deficient, which negates the AGA IgA, EMA IgA, and tTG IgA tests. They will probably run the tTG IgG test next. Open...

    You may want to contact the company about them if you still have the label, etc. and ask them about it. Either way-I hope you feel better.

    Keep in mind: 1. grains doesn't necessarily equal wheat 2. many, many vinegars are never made from wheat to begin with 3. http://www.kraftfoodservice.com/healthy_li...ree_0623031.pdf as mentioned, Kraft will list any gluten source 4. if you are newly diagnosed/newly started diet, chances are, you are still healing and can be 'reacting' to normal foods...

    Soy is considered a main 8 allergen by the FDA food allergen labeling law, so it is required to be clearly listed in the ingredients if it is present. Reading the label should provide you a clear answer in terms of soy.

    In case you haven't seen this, it should make it easier for you to read labels. If you don't see wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, or oats clearly listed, then gluten isn't contained in a hidden source. Takes a lot of the worry out of label reading. Print it out and bring it with you to the grocery store. Open Original Shared Link

    Enterolab cannot and does not diagnose Celiac. It can only indicate gluten intolerance (although the person may have Celiac). You may want to consider having the Celiac blood panel done, and the endoscopy (not only to look for Celiac, but for other disorders). Your doctor can also order the gene test.

    A couple of options is someone doesn't respond: 1. Call the pharmacist back and request that she calls the manufacturer of Dorxy and ask. 2. Get the information from the pharmacist and call them yourself. If it does have wheat, then ask your pharmacist for recommendations for similar drugs, and contact your doctor about this. If you didn't see...

    Hi snowbunny, Sorry that no one responded earlier. If your biopsy showed damage consistent with Celiac, then yes, you have Celiac. The biopsy can "miss" the damage in people with Celiac...but if you "find" it, then yes, it is pretty accurate. Open Original Shared Link Oatmeal is not safe for Celiacs, because it is often (Quaker, all the...

    As mentioned, refractory sprue is a possibility. You may need a referral to a Celiac specialist if this is the case.

    I'm sorry...didn't realize you were Canadian. We do have numerous Canadians on this board though. Member "psawyer" is Canadian and knows everything....if he doesn't see this thread, you could PM him and ask.

    Open Original Shared Link is a list of companies that have clearly stated their policy to disclose any gluten source. If you don't see wheat, rye, barley, malt, or oats, then it isn't hidden. Wheat, by FDA food labeling law, is required to be listed as an 8 main allergen. If the spice you are buying is a single spice, (i.e., thyme, basil, oregano,...

Some have been tested, some have not. Some react to personal care products, and...

    Was there any chance of contamination at the bar, and did they use a different set of utensils when touching your steak/the marinated steaks? When using a "common" grill, it may be easier to put foil down; then no worries about charcoal or what was on the grill before.

    By FDA food labeling law, wheat must be disclosed. Hope that you feel better.
