- Scott Adams replied to Katya773's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications1Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder
Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that... -

Orgain 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... -

Antibodies
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... -
- trents replied to np1209's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms4Interpreting results.
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...

I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds. -

Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that had been pushed up by the growth of the grass. In general, to be on the safe side, I think it's best to avoid wheat and barley grasses. -

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 this product but rather choose another of their powders that forgo the grasses. But, since I bought a huge tub of it, I am tempted to try it if they respond with reassurance that when they state gluten free, they mean celiac safe gluten free. Some products will make that claim but walk it back if they know you are celiac. Plus I have not had any wheat or barley products since for many years and frankly am a little intimidated to try it. Have you tried the product?

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/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.
