There may be an obvious answer to this question but if there is no "wheat" or gluten" listed in the ingredients and in the area where it says "May Contain" or "Contains" and again no wheat or gluten is listed does that make it gluten free?

The main concern with "may contain wheat" labels is barley-derived ingredients like barley malt hidden in natural flavors. Rye is an unusual ingredient so that's not a real concern. Barley malt and malt vinegar are expensive, specialty ingredients so they tend to be listed separately but of course we need to be sure. A lot of the major corporations like ConAgra, General Mills, Heinz, Kraft, and Unilever have stated that they will never hide gluten and declare barley, oats, and rye as well as wheat on the label. This list might be helpful.

If it's a small or local company and you don't know their policy, it's best to double-check if the label doesn't list all the ingredients in detail.

      What might this EMA result mean?

      By Toaster · Posted

      No other tests. This was from about 10 years ago, I noticed it when checking through my all bloods to look for patterns.  I will go back to my doctor...

      Were there any other tests besides the EMA run for celiac disease? If not, you should request them. At minimum, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA" should be ordered. A more complete celiac panel would also include the DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. And very importantly, you should not have been reducing gluten consumption in the weeks/months leading up to the testing blood draw.

      I'm looking into it. I have several quite low vitamin results which I believe may be from malabsorption. B12, ferritin, folate, vit d all very low. Re-occuring mouth issues, gut issues.

      Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or are you looking into it?

      Thank you. There is no reference range mentioned unfortunately.
