Hi everyone,

I am on gluten-free diet now for about 3 weeks now and I feel so much better. not everyday is fine, but I am pretty optimistic that all will be fine one day.

anyway, I am lactoseintolerant and I often use Lactaid ultra tablets (fast act, hihgest dosage) when I am not eating at home, e.g. for coffee or other gluten-free foods.

I read so much controverse thigs about Lactaid: is it gluten-free or not?

Ingredients are:

Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Crospovidone, Magnesium Stearate, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide

how can one be really sure??

thanks in advance and have a nice New years eve and all good for glutenfree 2007!

Sonja

This site has a good list ...linked and copied and pasted info. It's not comprehensive, but if you'll google anything not on it, you'll have your answer. :)

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By hmkr · Posted

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen lymphs nodes, ear pain, miscarriages, to name just a few more symptoms. I can't help but be upset at the many doctors I've been to that have missed this. A GI doctor only did the IgA 5 years ago, which was negative then too, and didn't do a biopsy as a result during an endoscopy shortly after. Deaminated Gliadin IgG Antibody test was 90, >15 being abnormal.   Deaminated Gliadin IgA Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, negative I'm scheduled for a biopsy at the end of January. The new GI doctor thinks if not celiac, I will still need to be gluten free the rest of my life due to the antibodies my body is producing. I feel like it's got to be celiac. I've been consuming gluten every day to prepare for this test. It can't come soon enough.  Thoughts on that IgG being positive and the others negative? I haven't gotten a clear explanation for that yet. Thanks in advance for any input!!

      That’s good to know. Might be time to head back to my gastrointestinal doctor then.

      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.

      Thank you for your reply. I was having about 2 slices of bread a day and other incidental gluten (occasional crackers and baked goods) so not reduced from my normal but not the 6 slices of bread like I’ve now seen suggested somewhere.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By Sking · Posted

      I just received my lab results from the endoscopy/biopsies to see if I have Celiac. My doctor's office said it could take up to two weeks for the doctor to read the results and contact me to interpret them. I am wondering if anyone can help me to understand my results? On one hand, it seems like maybe I don't have it, but have something called Brunner Glands Hyperplasia, on the other hand it says I have increased lymphocytes and villous distortion. I am very confused. How will the doctor decide if I do or don't have it? I am so confused about all of this from the start of the journey a year ago, I really appreciate people's time on here reading this and helping me understand. Thank you.   Anatomic Pathology Report Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval Diagnosis synopsis: 01 Part 1-Gastric ,Upper GI Polyp(s), Excision, Stomach: PARIETAL CELL HYPERPLASIA IDENTIFIED.

Comment: 01 Part 1- Part 2- Part 3- Villous distortion could be due to Brunner glands hyperplasia and not truly associated with celiac disease. Please see the diagnosis of Jar 2. Recommend clinical correlation. Anatomic Pathology Report (Cont.) Part 1-There is parietal cell hyperplasia with enlargement and dilatation of the lumens of some oxyntic glands. No dysplasia is seen. Part 2-Duodenal mucosa shows preserved villous architecture and normal cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are identified. No gastric metaplasia is seen. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. There are no viral inclusions. No Giardia, other parasites or other pathogenic organisms are seen. No Helicobacter pylori organisms are identified. Part 3-Increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes are noted (>6 lymphocytes/20 enterocytes at villous tips). Duodenal mucosa also shows villous distortion and slightly increased cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are hyperplastic. Gross description: 01 Part 1-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Gastric Polyp ". Received are 2 fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.4 x 0.3 x 0.1 cm to 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassette 1. Part 2-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Duodenum Bx ". Received are multiple fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm to 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassettes 1-2. Minute fragment(s) may not survive processing.
