It's basically saying, if I'm reading it right, that whole grains are "good for your heart" because they have a lot of minerals and vitamin D, folate, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, calcium. Also it's saying a gluten-free diet doesn't get enough of these trace vitamins/minerals. I don't understand this part: "A gluten-free diet may adversely affect cardiovascular risk factors such as total cholesterol levels, weight gain leading to obesity, glucose tolerance and blood pressure and may lead to development of the metabolic syndrome," they add. Why would you gain weight on a gluten-free diet? Most people are struggling to gain weight so I don't get it. Or why would we have more cholesterol? Well, it's saying that it's not as healthy as a non gluten-free diet but I'm not really convinced. Because yeah you are cutting out a food group but you can get all these vit/minerals in other foods. What I have found a problem is keeping enough weight on because bread/pizza/bagels/pasta have a lot of calories.

Thank you!

i know from what happened to me, I lost a bunch weight when I went gluten-free. I had some extra  so this was healthy. But oddly when I started on cpap for sleep apnea I gained some of the weight back. Never sure why that happened as I eat the same amount if not even less than I used to.

      But here's the thing. As long as the product in question tests out at less than 10ppm of gluten then the company can legitimately advertise it as certified gluten free according to GFCO standards. Here they claim their products have "No Gluten": https://www.kachava.com/ingredients . I suppose you could quibble with them over the verbiage that "No Gluten" is not the same as "Certified Gluten Free".

      Thanks so much for this post. I was actually thinking of purchasing it as they do advertise it as gluten-free on their website. But, I clearly had not scrutinized the label closely enough!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By trents · Posted

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.
