    Laura gave you some great advise already. If you have positive blood work, that in itself is a diagnoses. You doctor may want to schedule a endoscopy/biopsy for conformation or to rule out any other issues. If you should decide to forgo the biopsy, you have your diagnosis. Welcome to the Club.

    Just an additional note... Enterolabs does not diagnose Celiac. They say that they can identify sensitivities such as wheat. Some people here have been please with their relationship with Enterlabs.

    There should be a diagnosis/conclusion section of your pathology report. A positive biopsy IS diagnoses enough for Celiac. As also in blood test, biopsies are not always accurate. Both tests can rule Celiac in, but they can't rule it out.

    Toblerone is owned by Kraft and they will clearly list all forms of gluten. The Dark Chocolate does indeed list Glucose Syrup (from Potato and Wheat). If I recall correctly, the processing of wheat source in glucose syrup, renders the wheat gluten free. Which could be why it is listed as gluten free. I'll try to find this source information.

    Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 19:07:39 +0000 A major goal of the American Celiac Disease Alliance (ACDA) is to improve the availability and access to gluten-free meals in schools for students with celiac disease. Recently, the ACDA was approached to work on a collaborative project which will help move us closer to achieving that goal. One of the first steps...

    Kingsford is a good choice and natural wood charcoal is great. I think that charcoal containing gluten is one of those old rumors that won't die.

    Welcome Lisa, Learning the gluten free lifestyle is not a simple task! It's a steep learning curve, but it's doable. First advise is to keep it simple. Until you learn which companies have gluten disclosure policies, stick to simple foods (ie. meats, fish, rice, potatoes, fruit and fresh veggies). Stay way from processed food. Don't go out and buy...

    As you know, Hershey US would be required by law to list wheat if an ingredient. Barley, malt and rye can be hidden in "Natural Flavors", or specific . This is not to say that Hershey products that do have "natural flavors" may be gluten free, but they refuse to clarify it's gluten status.

    A post gets pinned when an available moderator reviews that post. Often, on the weekend this board is very slow. I suspect that this was the case. Vacation, hum.....what a novel idea!

    Four stars for Unilever's gluten listing policy. Zero stars for their customer service idiots.

    YEAH.....what she said

    Scott has been "tweaking" for site a bit. A warning would not have been issued without you being told about, but you're not likely to recieve one. I see nothing unusual about your post page. Is it still a problem?

    All meats and seafood in their "original" form are gluten free. Look for meats that are not injected with broth or natural flavorings unless you contact the producer regarding their gluten free status or labeling policy.

    Collette, Just wanted to say thank you for posting all your wonderful recipes for us to share! You need to put a cookbook together.

    www.triumphdining.com I have an older version and I have used it quite frequently....a wise choice. Can you have it delivered to a US Contact? or Hotel? I have not seen it in bookstores, but perhaps it can be ordered for you. Here is a listing for some California contacts. They can advise. Open Original Shared Link Happy travels!

    Here is a listing of companies who will clearly list ALL forms of gluten (i.e. wheat, barley, malt and rye) with no worries about natural flavors or spices. If it does not say "wheat, barley, malt or rye, it is just not there and safe to consume. Open Original Shared Link Copy this and take it the the store with you. It was a tremendous help to...

    Hi Gillian, Welcome to the Board! Since you had a positive blood test, you DO have Celiac. As you may know, a biopsy can be hit or miss. But, the blood test does not have any false positives, only false negatives. So welcome to the club!
  23. Lisa
    Yes, biopsies can be hot or miss. Should you go gluten free? If it feels good, do it. Try it for a month and see if you feel better. Ooops, where are my manners.....Welcome, there is some great information here.
  24. Lisa
    Yes, we have several members in or near Cary, Raleigh, Apex, Durham, Chapel Hill, New Bern, Winston Salem, Murphy, Kitty Hawk and Edenton....from one end to the other.
