I went to McDonalds.com and read the ingredients for hashbrowns and french fries and BOTH of them contain wheat! I had stopped eating french fries b/c somebody told me they had wheat but I was still eating the hashbrowns. :huh:

if you look on the internet, and on this site, you'll find, that in the end product of both, there is NO gluten, how ever, because wheat was involved, and is one of the 8 allergens, they MUST list it. calm down. you're fine. if you're not sick after eating them, they dont make you sick

agreed and nothing has changed.....

However if we had a dollar for every time we might be substantially towards actually paying for ACCURATE testing ... (presuming we could actually get hold of the oil )

So read the old posts and make up your own mind... is really the best.

I agree with gfp, this is such a controversial subject, everyone needs to read up on it alone, I like that nickel for everytime this was brought up, so there is a plethora of information on this site alone on the subject. make your own decision...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.

      An early incubation and inoculation

      When unprotected by hookworms I strongly associate any gluten exposure with wanting to pass out, wanting to throw up/actually throwing up, and total bowel evacuation, but I'm actually seeing my doctor in an hour or so, so I'll put the endoscopy question to him. What other blood tests do you recommend?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      New here, and came for answers to this. I was diagnosed in the Summer of 2007, at the same time two of my kids also tested positive. Actual doctor, actual tests. Have lived as clean as possible for 17 years, with the inevitable accidents (and symptoms and recovery), none recent, thankfully. I have accepted that I am celiac and have lived accordingly – ...

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Guys, How are u? I am still in the middle of "the storm" and recently i did repeated endoscopy but for some reason it was partially ok and partially not(due to bad handling with tissue samples). So some of the doctors suggest to repeat gastroscopy...and some do not.... Did anyone repeated gastroscopy due to bad taking of the histology tissue samples...

      You say "Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect," but when was your last endoscopy/biopsy? Without doing a regular biopsy, there is no way for you to be sure that eating gluten has no effect on your health.

      New here, and came for answers to this.  I was diagnosed in the Summer of 2007, at the same time two of my kids also tested positive. Actual doctor, actual tests. Have lived as clean as possible for 17 years, with the inevitable accidents (and symptoms and recovery), none recent, thankfully.  I have accepted that I am celiac and have lived accordingly – as have my now-grown kids. Last week, along with loads of other tests, my primary ordered a Celiac Disease Antibody panel and I just saw the results.  The summary stated "no antibodies detected," although my IgA total was quite high at 425.  The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA was less than <1.0.  My question is whether antibodies would be found in my body after all this time living gluten-free? To be clear, if I get gluten and do NOT know it, I will get sick later no matter what. So any psychological element is right out of it; I get nailed every time if there's gluten in my food. Later, we will trace everything and find it.  Small wonder I work so hard to keep gluten out of my diet. I am a senior citizen, and watch my health very carefully.  But now this test seems to indicate I don't have celiac disease... or do I?  LIke the title says, the test says no, but my body says yes and has for 17 years. Any thoughts on what's going on?  Happy to answer question. Thank you.

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Woodster991, were you eating lots of daily gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test for celiac disease? If not, then your results could be false negative. Many of your symptoms are identical to mine before I was diagnosed, with the exception of constipation. 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.

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
