    Honestly!

    I would think not, but then I have not noticed. WalMart seems to have more products. My Sam's list consists or whole salmon filet, lamb chops, frozen scallops, Emeril's sausages, great beef filets, cheeses and a giant container of Aleve.

    Maybe you can narrow down your question about a specific product.

    I am really looking forward to the article. I hope someone can post it here, when available.

    Hi and Welcome! You will have to post the ranges, because every lab has a different interpretation. Also, this is the full Celiac panel: Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgG and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. Testing is not as accurate as we would like at...

    There are other causes for the blunting of the villi, as in alcohol abuse and malnutrition, as well as a few other intolerances. Open Original Shared Link Although villous atrophy is not exclusive of celiac disease, it is considered a crucial finding. Other causes of blunted villi include tropical sprue, malnutrition, intolerance to cow's milk, soy...

    Hi Beth, Here is an interesting article: Open Original Shared Link You might consider having an endoscopy exam to biopsy the effective areas. Or try the diet for a month or two to see if you have a positive dietary results. I am not certain how prevalent Celiac Disease is in Asian countries or how current the medical field would be in diagnosing...

    If the ingredients list just corn starch - there should be no gluten in there.

    Hi Lyn, I'm not sure there is a "norm". We vary so much in severity. I would stick to the recommendations. Eat a piece of pizza for me.

    I started Peri-symptoms at 35 and after a full ten years, done. I was diagnosed around 50. I haven't a clue if it was Celiac related and I can't check on my family history regarding the lady issues.

    You can look into Lyme Disease. It can mimic symptoms such as those of Celiac Disease.

    ARCHIVED French Fries

    Lisa replied to rebe09's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Even though potatoes are gluten free, those fries were most likely fried in oil that also fries other breaded foods such as onion rings, chicken tenders, fish stick...you get the picture. I don't orded fries at a restaurant unless they assure me that they have a dedicated frier and unseasoned, just for the french fries. It's a tough world out there...

    Excellent advise. A food diary can be very helpful. Watch meds, vitamins, a private toaster and any shared jellies or jars with non-gluten free eaters. Check on snacks when your child is out of the house. Gluten is very tricky and it can be found everywhere. This is a great place for support and shared information.

    Yes, your son had Celiac. Rarely will you find false positives in a serologic blood panel for Celiac. The biopsy may not have been sampled from an infected area or it could be early enough not to cause a great deal of damage. With a positive blood test, coupled with a noticeable irritated gut with failure to thrive, I would put your son on a gluten...

    https://www.celiac.com/articles/35/1/Can-pr...iacs/Page1.html Very few celiacs are likely to have any reaction to topical gluten contact. In order for a gut reaction to occur, it is likely that direct contact with the gut lumen is required. Many people with celiac disease have everyday contact with gluten (for instance, bakers with celiac disease who have...

    ARCHIVED Dunkin Donuts

    Lisa replied to raquel-99's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Have you tried Kinnikinnick Donuts. They are not as light as regular donuts but darn need as good. My favorite are the chocolate covered donunts that I eat frozen. By the way, they are gluten free, wheat free, dairy free and soy free. Can't beat that! I would leave Dunkin Donuts in the dust!!!!!!! www.kinnikinnick.com

    "Our alcohol is derived from a fermentation and distillation process and is gluten-free." If the alcohol is distilled (and this seems to be the case, according to this quote), it is considered safe for Celiac. There may be a few who will react to minute amounts of trace gluten in wheat based alcohol, but generally most people with Celiac Disease will...

    I have always heard that when you suffer from malabnortion, your body steals from the available fat storage in your bottom and the pads of your feet.

    Pork in itself is gluten free. Preseasoned pork may contain gluten. Early into healing it's pretty hard to pin-point a glutening because everything we eat will be an irritant until some healing can take place, gluten or not. You also might be aware that a shared mustard jar my be contaminated by spreading on gluten bread and double dipping.

    ARCHIVED Varicose Veins

    Sound professional medical advise should not be substituted.

    Kraft will list all forms a gluten on the ingredient listing. If you don't see it there, it ain't in there
  24. Lisa
    In the US Modified Food Starch is generally derived from corn unless otherwise stated. If derived from wheat it must be listed as "modified food starch (wheat)". Barley, malt or rye would not be an option.

    Coffee in itself is gluten free and it is not dusted with flour to keep the beans from sticking. Flour would be considered one of the eight main allergens and full disclosure would be required. Enjoy your coffee.
