Wondering if anyone knows if the ingredients have changed since this 2005 og post? I sent an em to the company but never heard back.  I see there is an actual contact number for them listed above, I plan on calling the company on Monday but was hoping someone knew.  TIA

Yay!  Just diagnosed in October and this has always been a winter favorite of mine.  While all of my friends are pumpkin spicing, I'm apple cidering it all way!

Thanks so much for this info!! I just got diagnosed in July and this is one of my favorites! Still learning what I can and can not have! It’s difficult! So it’s super great to have this site available for help!

Hi everyone! Alpine was a favorite holiday drink of mine for years and when I was diagnosed in 2020 with Celiac, I didn’t think I’d miss this, but I do. 
 

So I emailed them, and they responded with GREAT news! Some people may not be comfortable consuming it based on the facility notification. However, that is up to each individuals comfort level. Hope this helps! ☺️

      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!
