    This is the panel that you should begin with: Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. (you should remain on a full gluten diet for many weeks to aid in it's accuracy) Unfortunately, testing is not as accuracy as we would like...

    Kristyn, I am not from Rocky Mount, but I'm not far. Do you have a Food Lion, if so they have a health food section which carries Pamela's Cake Mixes. Make them as you would a regular cake and I would dare anyone to tell the difference. Pillsbury Frosting often has gluten free choices, you just have to read the label. Wal Mart has many options for...

    Open Original Shared Link You might find this link informative. It's more current than the 2004 post you mentioned. Here is some information on testing: (the serologic blood work is faily inexpensive) Open Original Shared Link Welcome Jenn. I'm sorry but I don't have any experience with Enterolabs personally. Good luck!

    Carolina Cupcakery - Dessert Cafe, in Chesapeake, Virginia is my new find (and friend) I recently has some personal experience with them, when they donated their products and their time to feed thousands of people for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project in our area. Not only did they supply many of us with gluten free cupcakes daily as well...

    Hershey will NEVER disclose the source of their "Natural Flavor". It appears that it's more important to them to protect their suppliers, than the millions of consumer who purchase their products. I will not buy Hershey. (my apology to CeliacMom2008, for my attitude, but this has been an ongoing issue with Hershey. They are very unsupportive...

    Here's my unexpert thoughts... Since people react to the "protein" found in wheat, barley, malt and rye. I would think that it should not be a problem to be associated with wheat dust. Perhaps during harvest time when the wheat hulls are disturbed, and if it were to "float" into the honey, it might be an issue. People with a wheat allergy, I would see...

    That is always a personal choice you should balance, given the fact that should you have Celiac Disease, this diet is for life. I woud urge you to see a doctor. Internal bleeding is not something to take lightly.

    Welcome! Before you begin the diet, in earnest, you might want to be tested. You should remain on a gluten diet for the optimum in accuracy. This is what to request from your doctor: Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IrA and IgG Antiendomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level.

    Don't worry about the diet, we can walk you though it. Could you post your blood work information, and someone can help interpret it. Accuracy in testing is not where we would like, but we have to deal with what we have. Your doctor is correct, biopsies can be hit and miss regarding giving your a conclusive diagnoses. And blood test rarely show false...

    Super list, even to include our international friends. Thanks

    You're a super mom, with great instincts. Excellent work!

    This reminds me of an utopia community we had here once, a very long time ago. It would be nice, wouldn't it. I think I would like to live several (many) blocks away from the largest per capita number of public restrooms though.

    <sigh> I was referring to the several links that were provided by me. I am truly sorry about your misinterpretation!

    Open Original Shared Link Commercial yeast is a by-product of the whisky distillers. If you are a yeast producer your by-product will be methylated spirits.

    Mike, I'm not trying to be a pain, but(t).. Before everyone freaks out because they think all wine is contaminated, would you kindly list your sources for this information. I also noted that you said "In my opinion", in the first part of your statement. It's common practice here to research and post support documentation when making speculative...

    It's highly unlikely, in my opinion, that bandaids contain gluten. Reactions to latex or the adhesive are common though. Some one could contact Johnson & Johnson and put an end to this legend.

    I still do not understand what you keep refering to as lesions? That is not a term used here. The most severe stage of Celiac Disease is called Refractory Sprue. Are you refering to Intestinal Lymphoma?
  23. Lisa
    Blaaaah (throw-up sound) Can you find any documentation for that. Egg, being one of the main allergens, could make it critical for some, if undisclosed and that would be required by law. I find it hard to believe.

    Woody6, May I suggestion something? I would suggest spending some time walking around this site. It has some very valuable information that you might find interesting. Celiac Disease is not as black and white as you seem to understand. Benefit from the years of experience found here. You might find it enlightening. A review of our Board Rules...

    "only ONE gives the lesions on the intestions....." Lesions? That's new to me. Is there another reference that might be more familiar to me? "There are no false negatives with the Celiac Panel Blood Test. A positive Celiac Panel Blood Test means you have one of the 3 types of celiac. "
