Heinz Ketchup--YES :D

Kraft Ranch--yes i believe, but I have never read the label or eaten it myself. Kraft will not hide any form on gluten--it will be listed on the ingredient statement. So read the label, and if it does not state wheat, barley, rye or oats, you can have it. Have you gotten the delphi gluten-free food list yet?

Also-look at these brands below. Kaiti has posted this list that I love--none of these manufactuers will hide gluten ingredients--like Kraft. But with other brands, you will need to call and follow up at times. I keep a binder of info and responses I get from manufacturers on their products.

It's so frustrating that Kraft doesn't just put the words "GLUTEN FREE" on it's products that are gluten-free. It's a big secret that they WILL NOT HIDE gluten. I'm less interested in the fact that they're so forthcoming with the gluten and more interested in when they'll just start labeling products gluten free. It's like an annoying joke that never ends to constantly inform people that Kraft is not "hiding gluten". They may not be "HIDING GLUTEN", but they're hiding the fact that they don't hide it.

Just drives me crazy. :angry:

Kraft Ranch Dressing is gluten free. Jen put the list for you of brands that will clearly indicate the presence of gluten. They will not hide anything under otherwise questionable ingredients. If those labels do not say wheat,rye,barley,oats on them then they will be safe.

Also, Jen's suggestion on the Delphi list is a really good one. That list is 79 pages long and has foods,drinks,products, etc. It does not have everything but it is a good list.

Also, the safe and forbidden lists on here would help out quite a bit if you don't know what all gluten can hide under. Here is the link for that:

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill

      Test uncertainty

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?
