Chobani Flips

We have a Smith's store by me that has a Free Friday download every week. Which means once a week they have a coupon I can get for a free something. Last week it was for Chobani Flips, and I was pretty excited since I love Chobani. I was less excited when I saw the run with wheat warning on the package. I bought one without gluten ingredients just in case then let it sit in my fridge from Friday until yesterday and finally called the company. I wasn't letting it go without a fight.

 

I didn't ask them to tell me it was okay to eat, I know better than to ask something so moronic. I asked a simple housekeeping question that I knew should have a simple yes answer. Do they clean thoroughly between runs of different flips products. She was sure they did, but put me on hold to double check and came back confirming that yes they do. I knew it was still a risk because no company is ever perfect, but I ate it anyway. I've always ended up with nearly immediate symptoms when I've gotten hit, it takes less than 30 minutes for me to need a bathroom. It's tomorrow and I still feel fine. So, I will say that this is something that doesn't necessarily have to be avoided if someone doesn't want to. Of course, eat at your own risk because my experience may not be your experience.

:lol:Hi Adalaide,

 

I tried Mueller's gluten-free pasta.  Cooked it exactly per the package instructions.  It stunk, was harder than a rock.  Even my dog and part time dog wouldn't eat it.  Sorry you got sick.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. My point when mentioning how long it takes me to get sick was to make it perfectly clear that by now I would know if it was contaminated. It wasn't. I feel great, didn't get sick at all. I will continue to enjoy Chobani Flips when I find them on sale because it was super delicious.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      By trents · Posted

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just realised that celuac is a connective tissue disease)

      So, it sounds like you may have already been avoiding gluten before the blood draw was done for the antibody testing. Is this correct?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! The high total IGA does not indicate that your celiac disease is actively flaring up. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease per se but rather is test given to determine if you are IGA deficient, which you are not. IGA deficient people will experience artificially low individual IGA antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA and can result in false negatives.  The other question is why is your total IGA count high? That can indicate other health issues besides celiac disease so I suggest you research that question and also talk to your physician about it. Here is an article that explains the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease and the significance of the total IGA test: Having said all that, I gather that for some reason you are under the mistaken impression that, having been diagnosed with celiac disease some years ago, your recent antibody test should still show elevated levels if you actually do have celiac disease, at least when you have accidental gluten exposure. I think you misunderstand how this all works and what the testing is designed to detect.  When someone has celiac disease, the consumption of gluten triggers an autoimmune response that, typically, causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation produces specific antibodies that can be detected by serum testing specifically designed to look for these antibodies. Upon the onset of celiac disease, it can take weeks or months of consistent exposure to gluten for the serum antibody levels to build up to the point where they are detectable by the tests. Once gluten is  removed from the diet, inflammation begins to subside and antibody levels begin to drop. An occasional gluten exposure will not result in restoring antibody levels to detectable amounts once they have receded to normal levels after going gluten free. Again, it takes weeks or months of consistent gluten ingestion for the antibody counts to reach sufficient levels to produce a positive test result. Yes, you still have celiac disease but it looks like from your recent tTG-IGA test result that you are doing a good job with the gluten free lifestyle.

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.
