    Too paranoid (which isn't necessarily bad). This means ALL Act II is gluten-free. richard

    It does sound like possible bacterial overgrowth, which anybody can have. Some people take a probiotic like Culturelle and sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics. It's simple to take care of. richard

    He needs to be tested. ALL first degree relatives of somebody with celiac disease should be tested and it sounds like he definitely has the symptoms. Plus he improved when he cut wheat. Late onset is not at all unusual. I was 46. My father was 70. I urge you to get him tested but he must continue eating wheat beforehand. Spelt is definitely not OK. richard

    What's still high? One of the tests is very slow to fall. After 14 months of being extremely careful one of mine, I think the Iga, was still one point above the line. My doctor said to continue being careful but that I was doing a good job. richard

    I didn't becasue I ate like a pig on doctor's orders (and because my starved body craved calories). Unless, you have other food problems, there's no reason at all not to eat well. Just eat basic meat (lots of it) along with fresh vegetables and fruit, rice, potatoes and corn. Add in other stuff as you figure out what is and isn't safe. richard

    Technically speaking in a perfect world it might be OK. But this is not a perfect world and the odds are it will be contaminated. richard

    All Lipton ice tea I know of is gluten-free. In addition, Lipton is yet another company that will clearly list gluten in the ingredients. Most tea is gluten-free but as some have pointed out, there are a handful with barley. Generally speaking I think that barley is clearly listed. Your standard green, black or pekoe teas will not have barley. The old...

    Kroger soy sauce was gluten-free last time I checked. richard

    None, fortunately. richard

    Different people have different reactions. Some people react horribly to tiny amounts. Some people react about the same as before the diet. Some people are actually less sensitive. And some people, like me, barely react or don't react at all. richard

    A fair number of the salad dressings are gluten-free but not all. I remember once that involves bacon lists wheat starch. Once again, read the ingredients. richard

    I don't have any great advice but I can tell you that if you do have the endoscopy, your child won't remember a darn thing. Perhaps she'll be a little scared when they first start but no more so than when she gets a shot or something similar. The only real trauma is to you because you'll worry about it. richard

    The Kraft Canada list does NOT necessarily apply to the U.S. Do not use it that way. To hthorvald, Why in the heck would you be upset with Kraft? Kraft is like we would want every single company to be. I don't want to call companies or carry a list around. I just want to read the label. And that's what you can do with Kraft products. You don't need...

    It's safe. Corn does have gluten but it is not a problem for people with celiac. richard

    Yoplait is without question gluten-free. Caramel color either almost never or never has gluten in the U.S. richard

    Canola is definitely gluten-free. I don't know of any cooking oils that aren't gluten-free. Some people are sensitive to canola (and other oils) but this has nothing to do with celiac disease. richard

    Sensodyne is most definitely not considered gluten-free. In fact, it's the only toothpaste I know of that has or probably has gluten. richard

    I have to admit I have never heard of any child whose main or only problem is celiac having a G tube. If all he has wrong is celiac it sounds like your doctors went WAAAY overboard. If all he really has is celiac, stopping the gluten should stop the pain and solve everything. richard

    Open Original Shared Link This website has a list of their gluten-free products. Unfortunately, the one you picked up isn't on the list. Maybe it has barley in the natural flavors? Many more companies are starting to address gluten at their websites. Look for the nutrition page or the FAQ. richard

    lilliexx I'm pretty sure this is their old statement. Then some lawyer told then to quit using it in case they get sued. richard

    Just looked and regular Milky Way very clearly has malted barley and wheat flour listed. Sometimes all you have to do is read ingredients. richard

    He cannot get the samples he needs during a colonoscopy. You have to have an endoscopy. richard

    The blood tests are rarely false positive but the biopsies frequently miss the damage. Go gluten free and see if he improves. You have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. richard

    I assume you mean malic acid? Both are gluten-free. If you go to the celiac.com home page and scroll down there's a link to lists of safe and forbidden ingredients. richard
  25. lovegrov
    With numbers this high and particularly if you have symptoms, I wouldn't bother with the biopsy. However, if you need further convincing, then do it. richard
