(Product was formerly known as Amaratto)

Thank you for your inquiry to Disaronno.com. I have checked with the manufacturer in Italy and Disaronno is completely Gluten free.

If you still have questions, we suggest you contact your doctor as to whether or not you should consume such beverage products before consumption.

Best Regards,

Consumer Services

Be on the lookout, Disaronno is a fairly good amaretto, and is less likely to be used in mixers than straight up (or less mixed) drinks. There are a lot of other amaretto's out there (which I also suspect are gluten free, but if you go by the "if I haven't seen it personally verified" rule...)

You're right about that. The good stuff is a little pricey, and so many bars & restaraunts use less expensive versions. I myself needed some for a recipe I was making last year (BC-before celiac) and being too cheap to buy the good stuff for cooking, I bought a brand called STOCK Amaretto dell'Orso, imported fron Italy. It's 28% alcohol, 56 proof. Was a little disappointed in the taste, but not having any of the more expensive version, I couldn't compare them. Wouldn't have the slightest idea if it has any gluten in it.

When I lived in Italy, we drank Disaronno all the time. . .mmmm. . .not just for mixers though. . .makes a lovely shot. . .sweet and smooth (be very careful not to drink too many though . . .the hangover is worse than champagne. . .). When we did mix, we usually drank it in peach juice with a splash of amaretto and a splash of white bubbly. .. don't know if it's a "real" drink, but we used to call it an Etruscan. ..

Very true. House liquors are usually awful.

However, the bar I work at only stocks Disaronno. And I'M the one making the shots.

That's quality control for ya!

Oooh, something new to try! How exciting. (As a pointless side note, I love Disaronno's commercials. They totally did their marketing job and made me want to try it).

      Should I get a second opinion?

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      Hello. I apologize. I didn't know there wasn't a standard. The standard listed for the IGA is normal range 47-310. The others were all listed as <15.0 u/l is antibody not detected and 15> antibody is detected. And the negative one the standard is negative. It is a normal PCP dr.

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      It is also possible that since eating the fries you have been glutened again during the week. I would double check the food in your cupboard and reread the ingredient lists. Food companies can and do change their formulations from time to time such that something that used to be gluten free is no more. What I am saying is, don't assume the distress you are...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives for the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      I apologize i can't figure out how to get the picture on here. Results were: IGA 401mg/dl Deamidated Gliadin IGG. <1.0 Deamidated Gliadin IGA. <1.0 Tissue Transglutaminase IGA AB. <1.0 Endomysial IGA. Negative. Is she just going based off of the IGA alone? And because that is elevated, it's positive? The test...

Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.

      Hello. I apologize. I didn't know there wasn't a standard.  The standard listed  for the IGA is normal range 47-310.  The others were all listed as <15.0 u/l is antibody not detected and 15> antibody is detected.  And the negative one the standard is negative.  It is a normal PCP dr. I do have a second opinion appt scheduled with a GI specialist in 2 weeks. Honestly, I haven't cut out gluten at all. I just switched to whole fibers and everything has been getting better. She wanted to do the test just to check, which I was fine with. We'll see what the GI dr says. Thank you for commenting.

Food companies can and do change their formulations from time to time such that something that used to be gluten free is no more. What I am saying is, don't assume the distress you are experiencing comes from one incident of glutening. There could, coincidentally, be another one on it's heels.

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives for the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference ranges along with the test scores and since each laboratory uses custom reference range scales, we cannot comment with certainty, but from the sheer magnitude of the IGA score (401) it does not look like you are IGA deficient. And since there are no annotations indicating that the other test scores are out of range, it does not appear there is any antibody evidence that you have celiac disease. So, I think you are warranted in questioning your physician's dx of celiac disease. And it is also true that a colonoscopy cannot be used to dx celiac disease. The endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel is the appropriate procedure for diagnosing celiac disease. But unless there is a positive in the antibody testing, there is usually no justification for doing the endoscopy/biopsy. Is this physician a PCP or a GI doc? I think I would ask for a second opinion. It seems as though this physician is not very knowledgeable about celiac disease diagnositcs. Having said all that, it may be that you suffer from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease. The two gluten disorders share many of the same GI symptoms. The difference is that NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. The antidote for both is complete abstinence from gluten. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. There is not test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. So, if it becomes apparent that gluten is causing distress and testing rules out celiac disease, then the diagnosis would be NCGS. Hope this helps.
