    Normal, or ranges can vary from lab to lab. Each lab has their range of distinction.

    Yes, so all raw meat without broth should not contain gluten, unless disclosed. USDA is the governing agency.

    Gluten is not something that can be killed. It's a protein. Excess heat may alter the gluten structure, but does not kill it. It can scrubbed and removed. I would suggest getting new burners or grates for your grill.

    Open Original Shared Link "My prometheus celiac panel results revealed very high indicating positive for celiac disease. My MD disputes the results because I am African American.

    Pots and pans need to be replaced only if residual gluten cannot be cleaned. Scratched teflon should be replaced regardless of gluten. I would invest in a dedicated toaster, cutting board and perhaps a colander and new wooden spoons. Most everything else can be carefully hand washed or run in the dishwasher. But do remember, gremlins can hide...

    Open Original Shared Link 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...

    The FDA requires that all forms of gluten (to include wheat, rye, barley and malt) must be listed as an ingredient if added. If you see just meat, that's all it is. Gluten should not be a concern with plain meat at the grocery store, just read the labels. Perhaps you are experiencing a delayed reation to something else. Reaction time can vary as you...

    Lisa posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    A recent trend (well maybe not a trend) that I am seeing, are restaurants recalling their gluten free menus. People complain when they get sick and the restaurants no longer want to hold that responsibility. I don't' blame them. What once was a gesture of good will toward the Celiac community and those gluten intolerant, now is becoming a liability. ...

    I think that you will find that more and more companies will no longer supply a list. It's hard for companies to keep up with accurately. And lists should not be relied on for any extended time. Most companies will comment regarding a single product if you call them. Another trend that I am seeing, is restaurants recalling their gluten free menu. ...

    Hi! The difference between a gluten intolerance and Celiac is that with Celiac, you often have gut damage that will hinder any absorption. Symptoms can often be the same, but there is an autoimune response with Celiac Disease that will damage your small intestines (villi to be specific). Here is a link that is easy to understand: Open Original...

    I find bugs frequently in pasta that I bought from the shelve that day. Yuck.

    Although Frito Lay does not add gluten in SOME of their products, they do not guarantee that they are safe from cross contamination. A possible CYA statement. But, through the years that I have been here, I have heard numerous accounts of sensitive people with Celiac becoming ill with their non-gluten products. Guess you need to use the "try and see...

    For someone who has an already irritated digestive system, as Celiac Disease, a cleans could create additional irritation as well as wash out the good bacteria needed for healty digestion, in my opinion. ...I'm sure there's a flip side.

    Sorry that you are feeliing ill. McCormicks will clearly list all forms of gluten. But, that's not to say that they are all gluten free, just that they will list if any gluten is added.

    Krystal, you have done your homework and thank you for sharing your hard work with others. I just wanted to add that just because a company will not guarantee a product, does not mean that it contains gluten. Do to the current law-suit prone environment in which we live in, it's safer for companies to make a CYA statement. Even though a product may contain...

    Once you are gluten free for some time, there is no test that can diagnose you for Celiac. A composite of indicators, blood test, endoscopy, positive dietary response or gene testing, can lead you to a conclusion, but a diagnosis cannot be obtained conclusively. On the other hand, many people here are self diagnosed and they feel quite comfortable with...

    The Serology Panel and the Endoscopy/biopsy are not at accurate as we would like at this time, but both can rule Celiac Disease "in", but a negative result cannot rule it "out". Biopsies can often miss effected areas of the small intestine. Unless you intend to pursue other testing for Celiac, you might want to try the diet and see if you have a positive...

    A food diary might be helpful to pin-point some issues.
