@trents no worries. Agree, I think a study on this would be interesting. My daughter is DQ2.2 (homozygous). -

Kate Murray commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
@trents I think you misinterpreted my intention with that statement, I was indeed differentiating between people who truly have celiacs disease (aka all the things you mentioned, biopsy, elevated TTG, genetic markers) vs gluten sensitivity. I was merely intending to say that in my experience of knowing people with gluten sensitivity, they seem to tolerate... -

Hi @knitty kitty MCAS and SIBO were both tested for and ruled out. Short term she was treated with steroids and high doses of antihistamines but we elected to discontinue that protocol because the side effects of adding more medication was not the answer for her sensitive body. As an example of how we began to discover and isolate “natural flavor”: In her... -

Kate Murray commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
@trents Comment wasn't really for me, it was to bring transparency to the way this article is written because it presumes that all of the above referenced mainstream mayo (and other condiments) are safe for celiacs, and the reality is, they might not be. It is my opinion that forums should be clear and transparent. Many natural flavors are derived from wheat... -

Kate Murray commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Hello Jefferson, thanks for this article about gluten free mayo. I have some thoughts because I am seeking a truly gluten free mayo and still have yet to find one. While years ago many of the ingredients were simple, I am finding that because “natural flavor” is contained in the ingredients of most of these brands, it cannot truly be considered gluten fre...
