So I was wondering when something states it has wheat flour in it for a main ingredient labels do not state in allergy alert that it contains wheat. But when I read a label on an item that I cannot find a label for wheat it doesnt state gluten free or will say for allergen alert contains wheat. So how do I really know if something has it or not hidden or not. Sorry for the questions going through my cabinets tomorrow tonirganize what is safe and what isn't

In the US, it has to say wheat somewhere on the ingredients part of the label. So if it lists wheat as an ingredient or says " may contain wheat" or " contains wheat" - throw those out for sure! I usually don't use " manufactured on the same equipment" either. Same facility..... I'm OK with, especially if it says gluten-free.

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible, as there are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:    Also, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Perhaps you could bring you own? Not sure, but worth a try.

      I received my ANA test results - negative.  I'm thinking it was infection, was put on antibiotics for suspected sibo at the time blood test was taken. Significant improvements from taking them even while eating gluten.

      Thanks again. I've actually convinced my local butcher shop to start carrying Ghostfish gluten-free beer. It's not bad! But you won't often find it at a ski lodge.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:
