- Erain replied to 20021979's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications3Orgain Protein Powder
Thank you Scott. I bought a product that has 50 superfoods from Costco online and I saw that it said gluten free but I did not see the ingredients list of this particular powder. It has wheat and barley grass. I realize the grass is not the portion that contains gluten. However, I wonder about cross contact. Since they are not certified, I might not choose... -

Feel free to share your test results here, but depending on which test(s), a positive result could make celiac disease very likely. 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... -

Based on the available test information, it does not appear you have celiac disease. This is a assuming you are not IGA deficient and also assuming your gluten consumption was adequate both in amount and duration in order to ensure valid antibody testing. Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" have recently been revised. It is now recommended that those seeking... -

Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption
Have you been taking a good multi-vitamin & mineral formulation? Long term nutrient deficiencies can lead to gluten ataxia. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium... -

Update on Gaviscon
On their website, at least for the Cherry Flavor Tablets, they show "corn starch," while the Original Flavor tablets show "May contain starch." https://www.gaviscon.com/products/tablets.html Their liquid versions look naturally gluten-free: https://www.gaviscon.com/products/liquid.html

Have you been taking a good multi-vitamin & mineral formulation? Long term nutrient deficiencies can lead to gluten ataxia. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues. -

Were you eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test? If not, this can cause lower antibody levels, and possibly false negative results. It's unfortunate that they didn't do a Total IgA count, because if you have naturally low IgA it could lead to false negative test results. The good news is that you could get that test done later and not have to be on a gluten challenge to get those results. 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. -

Hi! thanks for the quick feedback! I tested negative for DQ8, but did test positive for DQ2 and DQ7. I’m not sure if there’s any information regarding DQ7 and the risk for celiac. I have included the reference ranges for the other labs below. It does not appear that my total IGA was tested. Thanks again. CELIAC DISEASE PANEL GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgG: 7 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: <15 U/ML NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML POSITIVE TTG IgA: <1 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION <15 U/ML: NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML: POSITIVE TTG IgG: <1 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION <15 U/ML: NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML: POSITIVE GLIADIN AB, DEAMID.
