The most common white bean I know of is called a navy bean.

Some of these companies have GFCO certification, and for this they must test below 10ppm. -
GIG posted the following on Facebook this morning, and to me it seems like an independent lab that works with the GFCO should be conducting all follow up testing on these products, rather than leaving each company to police themselves, as they have a vested interest in maintaining that their products are gluten-free according to FDA and GFCO standards:
-
PS - This part of that statement concerns me: "We asked the manufacturers to run multiple tests on their retained samples from the lots named in the MAA report..." So they are relying solely on the companies in question to perform and report follow up testing results on those samples. To me it seems like a 3rd party lab working for the GIG should be...

I'm not convinced that is the case, taking a few more tests of each lot still would not rule out a hot spot in a sample that reached Moms Across America. I will try to reach out to their lab for a comment. While false positive results can occur with the Romer Labs AgraStrip Gluten G12 test, they are generally not very common if proper testing protocols are...

I just want to respond to Banza's official response above. Unfortunately government agencies are often wrong in their assessments of such things like long-term risks associated with pesticides and herbicides, and they are often pushed by industry to allow their use without enough long-term scientific evidence that is necessary to gage their safety to...

Although this is a topic that may be better suited for a different venue, I just want to respond to Banza's official response above.

It’s great to hear such a positive recovery story, especially from someone who discovered this disease at a later stage in life.

If any company is concerned about bad publicity surrounding the levels of pesticides or herbicides detected in their products, then they need to consider switching to organic sources, otherwise they need to be prepared to deal with the fallout should any test results on their products be made public. Do you believe that Celiac.com should not report...

Test results
Scott Adams replied to Choccylab's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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. -
@beegal be careful not to say anything bad about glyphosate here, as @Rose77 is clearly paid to be here to defend it! 😁 I've only run this site for 30 years this summer, so recognize a troll when I see one. Austria has attempted to implement a ban, and other countries like Germany have announced plans to phase out its use. Some regions and municipalities wi...

Understanding test result
Scott Adams replied to Tracy007's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
IgE is typically an allergy test, and not a test for celiac disease. IgA and IgG both 0.1 um/l are likely your celiac disease test results, but as @trents mentioned, without a reference range there is no way to know, although if either were positive you would likely require a follow up appointment. -
Overall I think it's better to learn to read and understand ingredient labels, which often change much faster than an app can maintain, and as far as restaurants go--buyer beware--personnel changes at restaurants happen so often that it's basically a crap shoot. Someone might go into a restaurant one night and safely order from a gluten-free menu and then...
-
As Mom's Against America mentioned in their article, they have reported their findings to the FDA, and to the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, so there could be some expensive recalls on their way. Obviously Celiac.com is busy trying to sort through all of this and get the word out. We've reached out to each company who tested above the 20 ppm, and...

For reference here is are the gluten results from the Moms Across America study, carried out by Health Research Institute: https://www.celiac.com/images/Certificate_of_Analysis.pdf
-
They will be discovering more of these markers in the future, they have not found them all yet, can I ask why it's so important for you to test for all of them? Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely s...

The testing for the Moms Across America study was conducted by scientists at an accredited laboratory, Health Research Institute Laboratories. For their methodologies visit their website: https://hrilabs.org/ The video you shared is terrible, and not very convincing--she does not define a safe level in humans for glyphosate, but leaves that to be completely...

Moms Across America responded to me and is certain that the product tested was Made Good Foods Soft Baked Double Chocolate Cookies, so we did not reverse our initial correction to our article. It seems that the only reasonable explanation as to why both labs conflict would be the hot spot theory, although Made Good Foods does not agree:
-
We've put the Made Good Foods Vanilla Cookies back into our article based on the lab results, and we also added this huge missed item that was not covered in Mom's Across America's original article: Trader Joe's Everything Bagel registered 269.8 ppm gluten, over ten times the level deemed safe by the FDA. I eat these bagels regularly...
-
Good question, as the original article said Made Good Vanilla Cookies. but was later changed to Made Good Foods Double Chocolate Cookies (I updated our article to reflect this). This is clearly another possibility, that the study somehow mixed up the item that tested positive. I have reached out to Moms Across America to clarify this issue.
