This is good information for those who would like to pursue gene testing for themselves or their family members, without fear of insurance retaliation.

Coffee in itself is gluten free, it's just coffee. Flavored coffee may be another issue. What is it that you are putting in the coffee. Perhaps you have a lactose problem.

Subject: Genetic Information Nondicrimination Act Signed By President Bush
Earlier today, President Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). This legislation is vital to all individuals who have, or whose family member may have, a genetic condition such as celiac disease.
This landmark law, which I personally worked on when it was first introduced in 1995, BARS insurance companies from requiring individuals to undergo genetic testing and BARS insurance companies from using an individual

Thank you for posting this. But, would you kindly post your source for this information.

I want to go through Enterolab to have my son diagnosed for celiac since the blood test and biopsy aren't very reliable for kids under 5 (he is 18 months). For anyone who has gone through Enterolab, did your insurance cover any of it? How was it reported to insurance? Was the doctor involved in any way or did you do it all on your own? Were you satisfied with it? Anything I should know about it?
My son's pediatrician doesn't know anything about it and is convinced that the biopsy is the only conclusive way to diagnose. What do you think of that?
Enterolabs cannot diagnose for Celiac. They can, however, test for sensitivities and they do gene testing. I suspect that due to his young age, testing for sensitivities many also be unreliable.
If I were in your position, I would put him on the diet and if you see a positive dietary response, you have your answer. At a later age you can have him gene tested.

I have that gluten has a very large voice and once you eliminate it from your diet, you can hear some of the smaller unhappy voices.
Was the butter you used shared to spread on a piece of gluten bread? The cooking process has already been mentioned. Dairy can be hard to deal with when beginning the diet. Steak is very hard to digest. Perhaps a chicken or turkey may be easier for you. And last, but not least, all roads don't lead to gluten. Maybe it's *just* a bug you have come into contact with. Sometimes, it's just impossible to know what is making us feel bad.
A food diary can help pinpoint issues. Hope you feel better soon.

The latest number that I have heard was 20% likelihood to pass on to children. I don't know whether that is the heredity gene or the disease itself.

What part of the country are you from, Laura? Do I already know this? I don't remember if I do . . . it's been a long day. No sillies (or yetis) have yet to show up and help me spread all this freakin' mulch. Have had to do it all meself so far.
Speaking for Laura...she's from the DC area and gets to go to all those fun things downtown.

This will make your life a little (well, a great deal) easier. Here is a listing of Companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten on their ingredient list. So, if you do not see wheat, rye, barley and malt on the ingredient list of these products, it just isn't in there and safe for people with Celiac.

I think that I recall that they WERE gluten free, except for the malt choc. BUT PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON MY MEMORY.
You can call them at: 1 (800) SlimFast. Always call when you don't know.

Without creating a flame here, I just want to comment on how odd this is to even be an issue. I understand your concern (as it is very well founded), but I would have to believe that god would forgive you for not eating a cracker and wine if you cannot physically do it. Though the suggestions are very well thought out, I think the core of your answer comes from understanding that god won't shun you for refraining from this one little symbolic act. You can "make up for it" by just being a good person. If you actually understand what you are doing (it is meant to represent your acceptance to the faith and to Jesus himself), you don't need to act it out to have the same result. Though I am sure this will anger a few devouts out there, I believe that there has been some understanding lost in the process of trying to play things by the book (is that an unintended pun?).
Discussing options/suggestions for Communion has a place here. Religious beliefs or non beliefs do not fare here very well as history can attest. It's best to stay on topic.

Saw this on a package today, I've never seen it before, and of course the word gluten raised my red flags. But is corn gluten the same thing? I didn't know corn HAD gluten, LOL.
Gluten is the protein found in several natural products. Corn gluten not related to the gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and malt, that we as people with Celiac react to. Corn gluten is ok to consume for Celiacs.

Oh, good grief.
Does anyone know of a safe, gluten free brand of jam or jelly that also does not have artificial flavoring or coloring or any of that weird crap in it ? Sugar is okay. You know, plain sugar, like things used to be made of back in the ancient times.
Smuckers Jams and Jellies are all gluten free. I don't know what you consider "all that weird crap", though. Regarding Glucose Syrup, if it is derived from wheat, it would be required by law to be listed on the ingredients, such as "Glucose Syrup (wheat), in the United States.

Corn syrup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Tate & Lyle brand Corn Syrup being moved by tank carCorn syrup is a syrup, made using corn starch as a feedstock, and composed mainly of glucose. A series of two enzymatic reactions are used to convert the corn starch to corn syrup. Its major use is in commercially prepared foods as a thickener and for its moisture-retaining (humectant) properties which keep foods moist and help to maintain freshness. Because of its mild sweetness, corn syrup may be used in conjunction with highly-intense sweeteners.
Corn syrup is used to soften texture, add volume, prohibit crystallization and enhance flavor. [1]
The more general term glucose syrup is often used synonymously with corn syrup, since the former is most commonly made from corn starch.[2] Technically, though, glucose syrup is any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono, di, and higher saccharides[3] and can be made from from any sources of starch; wheat, rice and potatoes are the most common sources.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble.
Until recently, a corn syrup variant used to be sold in the retail market, say in supermarkets, had a high glucose content. HFCS is also appearing in retail products. The largest and most popular market in the United States for corn syrup is Karo Syrup, a fructose/glucose syrup.[4]
It is in trend for corn syrup to be flavored with vanilla extract.[citation needed]
