    It appears to be naturally gluten-free, and I don't believe wheat could get into it where it is processed, but perhaps give them a call to see if they can give you more info? https://www.springhillfarmvt.com/products/6-75oz-maple-syrup-flask-amber Also, did you eat anything else that might have been contaminated?

    Let us know how it goes, and what other clear liquids you found. Besides water with lemon juice I'm not sure there is much to add.

    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    Welcome to the forum. Can you provide the reference range for your tTg test? Each lab has a different range so knowing more would be helpful. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the...

    It is definitely safe to take GliadinX, the real question you seem to have is, does it actually work? I can only say that it has worked for me and my family that have celiac disease and/or DH, and we've been taking them before we eat out now for years. Before we took them I would estimate that we had issues with probable cross-contamination ~25-33% of the...

    The Gluten Intolerance Group, who runs the GFCO certification, has also endorsed McDonald's French fries, if made in dedicated fryers (which is currently standard), as safe for those with celiac disease, so I am not taking any radical stance on this. They've tested them and detected zero gluten. My daughter, who has DH and is very sensitive--she gets a DH...

    Celiac.com 08/20/2024 - Captain Mark MacKenzie, a pilot diagnosed with celiac disease, has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines for failing to provide him with gluten-free food during flights. The lawsuit, filed in Colorado federal...

    FYI: We just added a new section to this article called "Every Romer AgraQuant® Gluten G12 ELISA Test Kit Includes Fish Gelatin to Prevent Non-Specific Binding." Note that the test kits used by HRI do include fish gelatin, which is used to prevent non-specific binding, so clearly the lab used the protein agent as directed by the test.

    As I've already mentioned, since they didn't actually test the same batch the posts by GFWD sow confusion, which may lead some people to believe that the bagels and other products that were found to be higher in gluten than allowed are actually safe. This seems to run counter to their mission, at least from my perspective.

    Under the FDA's gluten-free labeling rule, a food labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. This applies to packaged foods and also extends to restaurants that make gluten-free claims on their menus. However, enforcement can be more challenging in restaurants due to the complexities of food preparation and the potential...

    Perdue Foods LLC, in conjunction with the USDA, has voluntarily recalled 167,171 pounds of frozen breaded chicken breast tenders and nuggets after a foreign material was identified in a limited number of consumer packages. The recall is isolated to the following products: PERDUE® SIMPLY SMART® ORGANIC Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets s...

    GFWD tested a different batch! They did not run any tests on the batch which tested positive. So what could their posts possibly mean for anyone who might have bagels from the contaminated batch in their freezer or refrigerator? So according to you their article is telling celiacs to go ahead and eat them, is that right?

    The first one looks ok, but the 2nd one contais sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate. This ingredient is a modified starch. While it's often derived from corn or potatoes, it's worth confirming that it is not sourced from wheat in case you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. https://www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers/soothing-body-wash https...

    You haven't answered what GFWD's position is--should celiacs eat Trader Joe's bagels from that lot number if they have some in their refrigerator? What do the posts by GFWD say about this? What is their position? We are not making "personal attacks" or "fear mongering" here. Do you realize that a fully accredited lab has tested nearly 300 ppm of gluten in...

    Three people in my family with celiac disease have eating their fries for years with zero issues, but I can understand why some very sensitive celiacs my way to avoid them.

    McDonald's French fries in the U.S. are generally considered safe for most with celiac disease. However, there is some concern within the gluten-sensitive community because the fries are made with a "natural beef flavor" that includes hydrolyzed wheat as a component. According to McDonald's, the wheat in the flavoring is processed in a way that removes gluten...

    If it has gluten-free on the label, then it should be gluten-free, but of course there is still a very small chance that there could have been an issue with your lot. Are there any other ingredients in it that you might be sensitive to? This article may be helpful:

    So be sure to confirm the meaning with your doctor, but this endoscopy result might indicate the following: Gastric Lesion Biopsy: Foveolar Glandular Hyperplasia, which is a thickening of the stomach lining, typically due to chronic irritation or inflammation. Duodenum: Villous Atrophy and Intraepithelial Lymphocytosis, meaning there is damage...

    I have emailed Cynthia Kelly, the CEO of the GIG and GFCO, to ask questions about where in their step down process the companies are which recently tested positive for gluten, and she confirmed that she could not reveal this information due to their NDA. To me, the real issue here is that everything seems to be done behind the scenes--the companies can...

    Feel free to share the info and we can take a stab at what we think they might mean. We're not doctors but have seen quite a few biopsy results over the years.

    In general wheat straw is considered to be gluten-free, as the protein is only found in the seed/grain part of the plant. The growing popularity of using wheat straws as actual drinking straws made me write to a company that made them to see if they are gluten-free, and below is their reply: However, this study shows that there may be a risk:

    But the GFWD's posts don't make any claim either way about whether the products that tested positive for gluten should be avoided by those with celiac disease--so what then is their point--are they safe or not? Does GFWD mean that we can simply disregard the results entirely--which were found by an ISO17025 accredited laboratory that is approved by the...
