We at Celiac.com believe that raising more awareness for those with serious food allergies--especially about why it's not a good idea to use top allergens like peanut flour in gluten-free products in an unexpected way (for example not sprinkled on top where the peanuts would be visible)--may help prevent it from happening again. -

So this has nothing to do with Celiac or gluten so I don't really understand why I'm reading about peanut allergies or the fact that the brownie was gluten free which has nothing to do with anything. -

Not that long. More recent guidelines are saying at least 10g of gluten (equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks before either the blood draw or the biopsy. However, just to be sure I would extend that to 4 weeks.- accurate

After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too! An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function. A filter. Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity? -

Hey, mistake in my post, pancreas TAIL is on the left side. Head is middle back of belly, -
By PlanetJanet · Posted
Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me. I have this same pain almost all the time. Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time. Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside. Been attempting gluten-free since 2018. It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain. Like up under the rib cage. I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there. But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly. I never got scraped. -
One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
