News: Celiac.com: Gluten Intolerance not just a fad

It's really difficult and not at all fun to try to eat gluten free. ... people are becoming more and more prone to gluten intolerance and celiac disease.

Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

Well put Ms. Morton. I am  diagnosed midlife, although I know my symptoms were around easily & early as 5. 

I can only imagine how challenging college would have been for me (although I would have liked to been told what I had earlier)

We were required to live in the dorms 2 years, which only had a microwave available and mini fridge, I couldn't afford my own apartment the last 2 years. 

I see admin posting that more is being done for college celiac's, thank goodness because I do have a son whom I want to enjoy college life, but if they can't accommodate him safely I'll have to scour the forum for strategies. 

Luckily, I have years left to see how this pans out for the current celiac college youths.

Thanks for being one of those pioneers Ms. Morton

best wishes.

      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!

      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.
