    I believe that if you write Campbells, they will send you their gluten free listing by snail mail. One thing to note, is that Campbell's Canada and Campbells US have totally different gluten free options. Unfortunately, in the US Campbells provides very little options.

    Here is a recent article in Living Without Magazine, by Dr. Stefano Guandalini, MD: Open Original Shared Link We have readers who don't have celiac disease but feel much better on the gluten-free diet. They’re gluten sensitive, right? Years ago, I was skeptical about so-called gluten sensitivity. Today I’m very respectful of individuals who don...

    AND from NC! May all your wishes come true.

    In addition, you might want to click on the upper right hand box "Options" . You will then have a drop down box... click on "Standard".

    Sometimes I feel like we're lab rats! You DO have a diagnosis with positive blood work and you were lucky enough to catch your Celiac before more severe damage could occur. Biopsies can be very unreliable and miss effected areas. Yes, the pill cam is one of the most useful tools to diagnose because it can offer a full view of the entire intestinal...

    Shared equipment the lines are washed and sanitized between new products. If ANYTHING was left, it would be so very minimal. I have no problem eating "no gluten ingredient" foods, and do so without hesitation. NO company would risk a "contaminated" surface with one of the eight main ingredients. Most always, it's a CYA statement, because they don't...

    Bravo to you Nicole! Well done!

    Good news. Wish we could motivate Campbell's US.

    I would suggest, if you are determined for a diagnosis that you consume 3-4 slices of bread (or equivelent) for a six to eight week period. Should you have Celiac, it's the autoimmune response to the gluten, not the densitiy of the gluten consumed, which creates a degree of damage where it can be diagnosed. After six to eight weeks, I would have...

    Well then, coupled with a positive serologic test and blunted villi, it sounds like you have Celiac Disease. Welcome to the club! Many people have issues with dairy early into the diet due to villious atrophy. After some healing has taken place, dairy is often re-introduced successfully.
  13. Lisa
    Although blunted villi are consistent and in many cases probable with Celiac, it is not specific to Celiac Disease. Do you have a history of intestinal distress? Do you have an intolerance to cow's milk, gluten or soy? Do you have an eating disorder? Have you be tested with a serologic panel for Celiac? Your biopsy is a piece of the puzzle. While...

    Sounds like they're confused. Can you please post your numbers and the lab ranges and we can help you interpret your child's results. Not knowing your child's result numbers, but coupled with "failure to thrive" and intestinal distress/irritation, I would suspect Celiac or gluten intolerance. Here is some information on the testing: Open Original...

    Sorry you are feeling bad. If you buy from these companies, you will always be certain when you read their label. They will list all forms of gluten, to include wheat, rye, barley and malt. If you don't see it on the label, it's just not in there. Open Original Shared Link

    "No Gluten Ingredients" to me means, that it contains no gluten ingredients, as stated by Tarnalberry Gluten free labeling is voluntary at this time. Many times, unless a product is TESTED to be gluten free, companies will not label as such. But that does not mean that it contains gluten.

    Hi Ann and welcome! I will move your question to the Pre-Testing Thread, where you will get some replies.

    Maybe it might be better for you to pack your own lunch.

    Thanks you for your listing MasterG. This is from the official McD's listing: Open Original Shared Link The French Fries have been tested independently and they test under a significant level that is safe for Celiacs to consume. Choose as you will.

    Statement from the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) www.csaceliacs.org CSA is generally considered to be the most conservative of the Celiac Disease Support Groups in the U.S. The following is from their official statement concerning the McDonald's French Fries issue on 2/26/06. "The Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) has examined the commercial manufacturing...

    In Austrialia the French Fries are listed as gluten free.
  23. Lisa
    Unilevel will always list all forms of gluten. If you don't see "wheat, barley, malt or rye", it's just not in there.

    The Celiac Research Centers recommend 3-4 slices of bread (or gluten equivalent) daily for a 6-8 week period for the optimum in serologic testing. This is the full panel you should receive: Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level...

    Yes, but it's very possible that vinegar is just too acidic for you at this time.
