Questions/Tests to ask GI specialist

My daughter has her yearly GI specialist appointment in a couple weeks. She was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. She’s very strict with her eating but has still been having a lot of gut issues for at least the last 6 months. She spends a lot of time in the bathroom - usually diarrhea but occasionally constipation.  She’s also very dizzy whenever she stands up or exercises. I was going to ask about testing for iron and other vitamin deficiencies but I wasn’t sure what other tests I should request. She did have Non-Hodgkin lymphoma a couple years before the celiac diagnosis and as a result had a bowel resection - so I may ask for an u/s just to recheck her bowels.  Any other suggestions?

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?
