    There have been studies done, and I believe certain gluten-free brands try to use the type that don't trigger reactions:

    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 IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

    Brown rice is considered to be gluten-free, so if you have celiac disease it should be a safe option. I'm not sure if you can find a brand with "gluten-free" on its label, but if you can perhaps order that one?

    If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

    Pure, uncontaminated popcorn is gluten-free, but like anything, it can be contaminated by toppings or poor handling, as well as by other ingredients that could be added. More info:

    Great question, as there have been studies to show that meat from grain-fed beef is gluten-free: I suspect that there must have been cross-contamination, and there could be many avenues for this, but it does make one wonder if it isn't better to grind your own beef?

    It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of frustrating symptoms. Low vitamin D can definitely contribute to fatigue, muscle weakness, and bone pain, which might explain some of what you're experiencing. Anxiety can also manifest physically in various ways, including chest pain, muscle tension, and tremors. However, given the range of symptoms you're describing...

    Great questions, and maybe another topic for an article! The GFCO has become the standard, but could probably be greatly improved, but I've not looked into the standards of other organizations like SCS Global, NCA, and NSF.

    @Eldene, if you run some searches here you will find many posts on nutrition, junk food, etc., so these are definitely topics of discussion here as well. Many of our articles also cover different topics, for example we've done articles on junk food, lectins, oxalates, etc. Here is a search of Celiac.com for "junk food": https://www.celiac.com/search...

    PS - I agree with your interpretation about the G12 test being more accurate for the 33-mer which is the portion of gluten in wheat that causes the immune reaction and gut damage. The info in that brochure, along with the answers I got back from Dr. Fagen at HRI, led me to write the article--I don't believe that the Gluten Free Watchdog's analysis holds much...

    More research is being done in this area, but much more needs to be done. Cross-reactivity is well known: and the fact that certain oat varieties seem to also trigger reactions in some but not all people with celiac disease is also well known (and the G12 test can detect this type of oats, which is new news to me).

    I'm not sure about the absorption difference, but I've been taking Citracal Maximum Plus from Costco for years now, but my gut healed decades ago, so I guess this would depend on how long you've been gluten-free.

    More information about "Does Gluten Free Watchdog's Stance on Trader Joe's Bagels and Other Products Found to Contain Gluten Best Serve the Celiac Community?"
    Celiac.com 08/13/2024 - Gluten Free Watchdog, an advocacy site for people with celiac disease, recently responded to a study by Moms Across America, which claimed that Trader Joe's Everything Gluten-Free Bagels contained nearly 300 ppm...

    Consider bringing your own cup, regardless of where you get your coffee:

    Exactly, and is GFWD saying that with the additive the test result would have gone down from nearly 300 ppm to zero? I doubt this, even if it were lower than 300 ppm I suspect that it would have been above 20 ppm. The entire argument they are making just doesn't serve the gluten-free community at all. I say avoid the product just to be on the safe side--why...

    Also, the Romer AgraQuant Gluten G12 tests are approved by the GFCO for use to determine levels of gluten in foods--R5 vs G12 should therefore not be an issue, otherwise they would not be on their own list of approved testing methods: https://gfco.org/341235-2/
  21. Scott Adams
    Actually the issue is why isn't Gluten Free Watchdog playing it safe with their followers/members, and instead going after the lab? Are they working for Trader Joe's or celiacs?
  22. Scott Adams
    The most likely path for gluten contamination is eating outside your home, especially in restaurants. Certainly it is possible that contamination can creep into your diet from other places, but GFCO products are generally considered safe, and our article on their certification is aimed at improving their certification standards, rather than a call to stop...

    At this point all celiac disease markers haven't yet been discovered, so no genetic test could completely rule out celiac disease, although you might be 98%+ sure that you don't carry the genes if you tested negative. As for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the research on this is just beginning, and as far as I know there may not yet be genetic markers identified...

    It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free, according to the ingredients on their site: https://www.dippindots.com/banana-split-bulk-bag/#nutrition

    If you eat out at restaurants you might be getting gluten in your diet. 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.):
