Accidental Glutening!

For other newbies, PLEASE be careful about products that have changed their formulas! I had checked on my Ty Ling Chinese mustard and found that it's gluten-free, but halfway thru dinner I happened to glance at the bottle and "wheat starch" was listed! The new bottles don't have it, but the old bottle I had been working on for awhile did.

All my hard work avoiding every speck of gluten down the drain! Ugh!!!!!

It's a hard habit to get into, but we need to read the label EVERY TIME we shop. I am guilty of not doing so at times too. Wouldn't it be great if someone would open a chain of totally gluten-free grocery stores?

That sounds heavenly Bart! I do have a totally gluten free grocery store about 40 minutes from home but who wants to drive 40 minutes to shop when I could spend less time out just by reading labels. It gets so annoying though and I just want to be able to walk in and buy stuff. I have to spend every trip to the store telling myself every label, every time.

We all make mistakes, don't beat yourself up. If I make a mistake I just call it an object lesson and vow never to make it again.

I've done this exact thing many times. Thankfully I catch this mistake most of the time. Recently I decided to make some brats for dinner, went to the store and grabbed the ones I get and didn't realize until I was putting them in the pan that they were beer brats and not the ones I normally get. I used to get mad when I did this but now I'm just thankful I catch it. Sometimes I don't catch it though. I try my hardest to read labels and be cautious, but I've also accepted that this is going to happen every now and then no matter how careful I am.

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      I only had the one endoscopy. My GI wasn’t worried that I still had blunted villi. My antibody levels are now normal. I never had specific symptoms, although I generally feel better now, less fatigue. I think not having excess lymphocytes any more would be an improvement. Since you still have symptoms I hope your doctors will still look for a...

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      Thanks so much for replying. I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed in December of 2020 after having an endoscopy with biopcies. The biopcies showed the same thing. Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes. This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes. No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on...

      Just checking that you are taking 1000 mcg b 12. The reason I ask is because I take 100 which I thought was a lot at over 4000% of rda even though the body allegedly throws off what is not needed.

The biopcies showed the same thing.  Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes.  This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes.  No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on gluten-free diet but I am still experiencing symptoms.  I have read that some adults might never fully recover their villi. I was truly hoping that would not be me. My antibodies are now within normal range. Just wondering if you have had any other endoscopy after the 4 year mark and how are you feeling now. Just looking for hope. Thanks
