    Here is a quick Yelp search--but keep in mind that eating out is probably the most common source of cross-contamination, so read the reviews carefully and talk to the restaurant staff before your order: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Gluten+Free+Restaurants&find_loc=Columbia%2C+SC

    There are many grains that are gluten-free which people with celiac disease can safely consume, including corn (as long is it is not cross contaminated). This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    Thank you for the update, and I hope you've seen improvement in your symptoms. Note that B vitamins work together in tandem--to be most effective you may want to consider taking a B complex. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9),...

    @Nicole boling, sorry about all of the back and forth here about the test results you shared. It appears that all of your results are not in, and these apparently are not the celiac disease results, so please share with us what you find out from your doctor, or other results.

    Welcome to the forum @Pat Denman. I just want to mention that vegetable broth doesn't necessarily contain gluten, but it could. If there is wheat in it then it would need to be declared as an allergen on the label. I agree about being needing to be on guard, and always check the ingredient label carefully. The following two lists are very helpful...
  15. Scott Adams
    Thanks for the clarification...but what could those results be then? If I understand @Nicole boling's original post, she is expecting results for a celiac disease blood screening.

    The test result you just posted Immunoglobulin A, could be the Gliadin Peptide Antibody IgG (Immunoglobulin A), also know as the DGP-IgA test. If so, your result looks like it is high as well at 302, but again, you should discuss this in more detail with your doctor.
  18. Scott Adams
    There are lots of names for these tests, unfortunately each lab uses them in different ways. DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) blood test for celiac disease might be referred to as an Immunoglobulin G test, per the link I shared, but it would be best for you to clarify this with your lab or doctor.
  19. Scott Adams
    I think the Immunoglobulin G test referenced here is another name for the DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) blood test for celiac disease (see the Other Names for the DGP-IgG Test section): If that is the case, which you should clarify with your doctor, then the results could mean that it's possible that you have celiac disease:

    From your answer it sounds like you do eat out, is that right? Studies have found gluten is a big issue in most restaurant food, including ones that have gluten-free menus. In cases where you have a sudden change in your BM's, it usually makes sense to take a closer look at your diet to be sure gluten isn't slipping into it somewhere. This article...

    Also, do you eat out in restaurants or other places outside your home? Restaurants can be a prime source of gluten contamination.

    It definitely makes sense to get your vitamin & mineral levels tested before you start supplementing, and unfortunately my doctors never recommended this approach at the time of my diagnosis, nor did they ever recommend any supplementation. Unfortunately this led to many years of dealing with gluten ataxia issues that were mostly only resolved decades...

    Modified food starch in the USA is almost always from corn, and would need to have an allergen warning on the label like "Contains: Wheat" if it had any wheat in it. This article might be helpful:

    I forgot to mention that this ingredient is also now accepted as gluten-free in the USA as well, although some companies have tried it and decided the controversy is not worth the gain in terms of texture and taste. One example of this is DiGiorno's Gluten-Free Pizza:
