I have been eating Grits made by quaker fruquently and thanks to this board realized they are really bad about cross contaminating, does anyone have an alternative, I am low in iron and they had a good source of nutrition plus I loved them! if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

I ate a lot of grits when I started gluten-free diet 11 months ago. The brand I had was Quaker Quick Grits. I did not have a problem then and as matter of fact I had some this morning for the first time in a couple of months. Once again everything seems ok. I don't know if I'm not very sensitive but I definitely have celiac disease. I would say they were fine.

My daughter and I have been eating arrow head mills grits with no problems. They say gluten-free on the box. They are pretty good too!

I eat quaker grits and the wal-mart brand without any problems. I didn't realize there was a cross-contamination issue with Quaker.

I don't trust Quaker products in the US. They have stated on multuple occasions that there is a cross contamination risk with everything they make and that nothing is made on dedicated lines. Thats enough for me to steer clear. I buy arrowhead Mills, which I get at Whole Foods. Its not instant, but as a breakfast its not that hard to make.

What exactly are grits made from? I miss them - grew up with them in Florida.

Grits are made of corn.

Grits is basically ground up corn thats not small enough to be corn meal. I used to like the white grits, the ones served in restaurants, but I've discovered Arrowhead mills Yellow grits and I like it much better. The yellow ones use the whole corn kernel, so have more nutritional value too.

Rats - can't have corn. That is the reason I have been afraid to try (and I'm the only one in my current family that likes them).

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @TraceyG, welcome.    I know it is hard.  Giving up gluten is like losing a lifelong friend.  But in this case it is not a friend.   Your doctor is your friend and be thankful he is proactive with you. There is no need for the biopsy. Posistive is positive.  Unless you are looking for proof you are not.  Be sure to ask about vitamin and mineral deficiencies tests from the doctor. If you are vegan for the health benefits, reconsider. To get the daily Adequate Intake of Coline (between 500 mg and 3500 mg) you would need to eat 10 cups of cooked brocolli.      If you continue to eat gluten, even small amounts, it will come back on you.  You may experience up to 15 days of withdrawal from the gluten and cravings may be strong.  Gluten activates the opiod receptors, numbing you to the pain.  Gluten is addictive.  Gluten Addiction  Eating a little gluten is like playing with matches.      Recent statistics say 40% of first degree relatives have Celiac Disease, also.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      I would love some opinions. My Tis.Transglut.Ab IgA results were 29.9, with the normal range being 0-14.9.  My PCP said I have celiac disease, based on these results. I asked for a referral to GI, but they can't get me in for 6-9 months! I think I will start gluten-free now, and begin eating gluten again for at least 1 month prior to the biopsy. I know the GI biopsy is the gold standard, but is it reasonable for my PCP to diagnose celiac with just the blood results? I do not have classic celiac symptoms, but have struggled with some mystery peripheral neuropathy and joint pain for years now. Looking at symptoms, I have suspicion for family history of undiagnosed celiac (mom with lactose intolerance, aunts with sjogren's and non-hodgkin lymphoma). I am 39. I don't think I will be someone who can easily and quickly tell the difference in my body from not eating gluten (or getting glutened once gluten-free), so I feel that gluten-free trials will be tricky. If it's relevant, I surely consume smaller amounts of gluten and occasional bread, but my diet is vegan and fairly free of gluten (maybe why bloodwork numbers weren't higher?)

      Please do not consume this if you have celiac disease. One of the ingredients is barley.
