Thinks Its Safe?

I emailed the manager at my favorite Gelato shop regarding my concerns, do you guys feel it would be safe to eat there based on his response? Please see below

Jason,

All sorbets are gluten free. All gelato flavors that do not contain "cookie" (cannoli, cookies and cream, ginger snap, amaretto, etc.) are also gluten-free. Flavors are run on shared equipment, but they are sanitized between dairy and non-dairy, gluten and non, nut and non. If there is anything else I can help you with, please ask. Thanks for your interest.

Jason,

You sure sound like you are feeling alot better than you were a few weeks ago.

I'd be tempted to try the place. It would depend on how sensitive you are to the cross contamination issue.

Ha- yeah feeling a little better these days. I was on the edge for a while but am coming around...for now ;-)

I dont really know how sensitive i am since i still dont know when i get gluten in my body. I saw a wonderful celiac specialist recently and she made me feel a lot better about eating out. she also told me that ive turned eating into a whole psychological thing that has really messed me up.

hopefully i can find a balance soon so i can start living again

thanks for your concern - i suppose im the drama king on the boards - lol

I'd try one flavor. Then another and so on.

Just keep in mind that you will always get the occasional CC issue.

Learn who and what foods you can trust. YOu'll have your "go to" list and feel a lot better about eating out.

I'm super careful too.

Jason,

Glad to hear you are feeling better about food! It really turns into mind over matter and attitude is everything, and all those things that when you hear them , you want to punch the lights out of the person who utters it, but it always ends up being true :D Glad your spirits are looking up!

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
