      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹

      Possibly, but there used to be a movement within the celiac disease community to just tell restaurants that you have a deadly wheat/gluten allergy to, hopefully anyway, ensure that your meal is actually gluten-free. I don't recommend this approach at all, and if I ran a restaurant where there was ANY risk of cross-contamination, I'm afraid that I would decline to server someone who made this claim. No restaurant owner wants anyone dying or going to the emergency room at their business.

      You mention that you are waiting on your test results--did they do a celiac blood panel? If so, were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to the test? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      According to their website they are gluten-free: https://www.somersby.com/en/faq/

      If you suspect celiac disease a blood panel for it would be the best option. This article might be helpful.
