I posted a while back about my son (who has down syndrome and now 8 months) and his reactions to gluten. He went to the GI last monday. They are thinking it could be possible celiac. Though they said he didn't look like a typical celiac child, but wouldn't considering i've had him gluten free (which he had to be because of gluten landing him hospitalized). We could not do endospy due to that, so we went with the gene test. My question is...once we get the gene test back where to we go from there (assuming he has at least one of the genes)? Am i correct that even with one of the genes, it still isn't 100% that he has celiac disease? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! We still won't know for another 2 weeks...ugh.

I sure would be interested to see what others have to say about this too. I would like to have both my kids DNA tested for celiac, but I am under the impression that the DNA results will only tell you if he has the gene for celiac. It does not necessarily mean that the celiac is "active". Therefore the person would still have to be tested with blood tests throughout their life, if they show symptoms for celiac. ?????

      Royal Caribbean Only, Please

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:
