Gluten In "gluten Free" Products?

Has anyone had problems with Lundberg farms products? I know they do use quite a few spices in their chips and rice cakes and it just seems like it would be difficult to keep track of the "gluten-free" status of all of them.

Are there any other "safe" products that you've had problems with? I'm about to go on a trip and I will probably have to add quite a few prepackaged, "gluten-free" products to my diet at once so I'd like to know what to be weary of ahead of time.

I haven't had their chips, but I regularly have their rice cakes and rice mixes (non seasoned, because I season them myself), and have had no problem. Their website discusses the gluten free status of their products. Not all of them are gluten free, as I recall.

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? 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.
