I do not know.  I would be worried about gluten.  Seriously, I live in California where it is legal.  Problem is there is a ton of illegal pot.  Even our state is complaining as they not getting the tax revenue.  So who is making sure they are proving the real unadulterated thing?  
 

That said, I am still against it unless there is a medical need.  Why?  I have friends involved in heading up our local MA chapter.  It is a rabbit hole I do not want to go down.  I know there plenty of debate about this, but I could easily become an addict.  I can not stop eating mint chip ice cream!   What would I do with pot?

There is no worry about gluten if you’re smoking it, but there is if you go the edibles route. We’ve done some articles on this which might be helpful:

      Test result insight

      Thank you for the article Scott. It was very informative. I didn’t realize I should have been eating a certain amount of gluten prior to the test. I only eat bread maybe 1x a week, don’t eat cereal. Pasta occasionally. I’m sure there is gluten in nearly everything, so I’ve had gluten but no idea how much, but definitely not slices of bread. Not sure ho...

      Test result insight

      It sounds like you're navigating a lot right now, and it’s good that you’re being proactive about your health given your family history and symptoms. Based on the results you shared, the elevated IgA Gliadin and IgG Gliadin antibody levels could indicate an immune response to gluten, which may suggest celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, your tis...

      Test result insight

      Hello, I had celiac tests run a week ago and my doctor still has not viewed my results (I saw them on mychart 4 days ago), hoping to get a little insight. Background: my grandma had been diagnosed celiac and my dad was recently diagnosed with a form of celiac (rash but no gi symptoms). I have been battling anemia and have some gi symptoms similar to celiac...

      I am looking for words of encouragement because I have just had enough with this celiac diagnosis. I recently got diagnosed in October this year and its been hell let me tell you. Fist of all my doctor did not want to do the test saying that I was not Celiac because I did not have blood in my stool. Really??? I thankfully insisted that he do the blood work...

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      JettaGirl, there are a number of serum antibody tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease. Unfortunately, most physicians will only order one or two. So, a negative on those one or two may or may not add up to seronegative celiac disease since had a "full celiac antibody panel" been ordered you may have thrown some positives. False negatives...

      It sounds like you're navigating a lot right now, and it’s good that you’re being proactive about your health given your family history and symptoms. Based on the results you shared, the elevated IgA Gliadin and IgG Gliadin antibody levels could indicate an immune response to gluten, which may suggest celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, your tissue transglutaminase IgG (tTG-IgG) result is within the normal range, and your total IgA level is sufficient, meaning the test was likely accurate. While these results might point towards celiac disease, the diagnosis often requires further interpretation by your doctor, especially in light of your symptoms and family history. Your doctor may recommend an endoscopy with a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, as blood tests alone are not always definitive. In the meantime, you might want to avoid making dietary changes until you discuss the results with your healthcare provider, as going gluten-free before further testing can interfere with an accurate diagnosis. 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. This section covers your two positive results: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide)

      Hello, I had celiac tests run a week ago and my doctor still has not viewed my results (I saw them on mychart 4 days ago), hoping to get a little insight.  Background: my grandma had been diagnosed celiac and my dad was recently diagnosed with a form of celiac (rash but no gi symptoms). I have been battling anemia and have some gi symptoms similar to celiac symptoms.  My test results came back as the following: TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGG value 5 Normal <6 U/ml Iga - 287 Normal value: 70 - 400 mg/dL Iga, Gliadin - 119 Normal value: <20 Units Igg, Gliadin -75 Normal value: <20 UNITS Thank you in advance for your thoughts, experience or insight.

      I am looking for words of encouragement because I have just had enough with this celiac diagnosis. I recently got diagnosed in October this year and its been hell let me tell you. Fist of all my doctor did not want to do the test saying that I was not Celiac because I did not have blood in my stool. Really??? I thankfully insisted that he do the blood work test just to make sure., since I was sick while in italy after eating both pasta and pizza and I knew something was wrong. I exhibited all the signs of gluten sensitivity, bloating and bad stomach pain which I never had ever after eating gluten.  After a week of waiting patiently for the test result it showed positive. I was both happy and floored at the same time. It has been an emotional roller coaster. Having to now work hard  to read labels constantly making sure they don't add gluten EVERYWHERE!! buying some comfort expensive gluten free foods to somehow make me feel like I am a normal person again. Hiring a dietician to put me on a diet to get my nutrients needed and to fix my villi that is destroyed. I feel sad, angry, depressed and why me?? is it an italian thing? I do not know. Anyways any feedback would be helpful. I am still extremely tired and have bowel symptoms and brain fog when do these go away?

      JettaGirl, there are a number of serum antibody tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease. Unfortunately, most physicians will only order one or two. So, a negative on those one or two may or may not add up to seronegative celiac disease since had a "full celiac antibody panel" been ordered you may have thrown some positives. False negatives in the IGA antibody tests can also be caused by low total IGA count. So, a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the single most popular test, the tTG-IGA. Unfortunately, many physicians only order the tTG-IGA. And then there are other tests that are IGG based. A full celiac panel will include both the IGA tests and the IGG tests. Here is a primer:  And here's another article on seronegative celiac disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4586545/
