    I swear by Bob's Red Mill flour blend. My mom made me gluten free choc chip cookies this weekend, that are delicious. She also made me a gluten-free choc cake with their mix....the whole family ate it and loved it. My mom is a wonderful baker, and has luckily found a way to make anything and everything for me, so that I have all the 'comforts' of home...

    Open Original Shared Link starches are clearly labeled as potato and corn " The inactive ingredients present are colloidal silicon dioxide, potato starch, gelatin, magnesium stearate, talc, corn starch, and lactose monohydrate." If in doubt, call your pharmacist, too.

    Hi newglutenfreerd Welcome to the board!!! Happy to have you here. There are a couple possibilities. 1. if you ate ANYTHING without knowing what was in it---thats a huge risk. this could have easily had gluten in it, or could have had something dipped in it if it was at a public event. 2. Cross contaminatin is always a possibility...

    The food labeling law was passed in 2004 (august) and took effect Jan 1 2006. All of the 8 main allergens must be listed. One of those is wheat. Wheat must be identified if it is used for something like mfs, flavorings, etc. (if so, it would say something like "modified food starch-wheat" etc. here is some more info on it: Open Original Shared Link...

    worriedwife, I am sorry that your husband is still having problems. I wish that there was an easy answer....but it could still be related to gluten, or it could be another issue, or both. Just a note, to confirm what you already know. The nutritionist that works at University of Maryland's Celiac Center (with a leading Celiac researcher, Dr. Alessio...

    FWIW I was dx'ed with fibro, but I knew I didn't have it.....a few months later, was dx'ed Celiac, went gluten-free, and my symptoms went away. Never had fibro, just had the "symptoms"---that were caused by the gluten reaction.

    Your doctor can also order the genetic test. Enterolab does NOT diagnose Celiac. The gold standard for a rock-solid diagnosis is the biopsy. You should also have the bloodwork done too----not just the biopsy (if you choose to go that route). For some, clearly positive markers on certain blood tests are enough to "know" its celiac w/o the biopsy.

    If you have a positive biopsy, then you have the gold standard diagnosis for Celiac. He probably wasn't sure what you had, did an endoscopy to look for various things, one of which was Celiac.

    I just have to pop in to add something, that is rather funny to me. So, I pop over here and read occassionally, and laugh (of course ). All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo. I just realized today that it was tickle me elbow. I guess I'm kind of slow sometimes Thanks for the laughter---we all need it!

    "Serologic panel Of the commercially available serologic tests that aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease, no one test is ideal. Using multiple serologies increases the diagnostic yield. Therefore, in the United States, screening in patients with possible celiac disease should consist of a panel of the following serologic tests: Anti-gliadin antibodies...

    he could have EE, not have celiac, and one of his triggers could be gluten products. or, he could have Celiac and EE, and gluten could/could not be one of his trigger probems for EE (but obviously is for Celiac).

    get a copy of the pathology report that discusses your biopsies. from Open Original Shared Link : "The features in a duodenal biopsy suggesting celiac disease include an intraepithelial lymphocytosis, villous atrophy, crypt hypertrophy, abnormal epithelial cells and increased chronic inflammatory cells in the lamina propria."
