  1. The article is quite old, and is archived, but it is possible to process an ingredient, for example hydrolyzed wheat protein, to the point where it would test below 20ppm. That said, you would need to decide whether or not you would like to include this in your diet. It is likely gluten-free, but apparently does use barley to make that ingredient. It might...
  2. Celiac.com 02/09/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently made up a list of Cheerios, Chex, and nearly one hundred gluten-free breakfast cereals. We've also compiled a List of...
  3. Since you had a positive blood test (and feel free if you'd like to share those results with us), AND your long-standing symptoms went away on a gluten-free diet, AND have come back with a vengeance on your current gluten challenge, all of this together would be enough for me, but I'm not your doctor. Most people need the formal diagnosis to stay on...
  4. Although I've not seen any verification of this, I've heard others complain about this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=sheetrock&quick=1 Gluten is used to make many commercial glues, so it would not surprise me if it were used to gluten the paper to the rock.
  5. A long time ago I used to get Jamba Juice with a wheat grass shot, which at the time they claimed was gluten-free. It is gluten-free it if is always 100% grass, however, when I watched them cut the grass in front of me I noticed that some unsprouted kernels/seeds had been pushed up by the growing grass, and were just sitting there mixed into the grass. The...
  6. This is interesting, do you wear an N95 dust mask when handling it? It seems like wearing a mask, and perhaps goggles, might help. Many who are very sensitive do report issues with only skin contact, and this would likely be hard for you to avoid.
  7. Celiac.com 02/08/2021 - Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) are a strong indicator of celiac disease, but positive anti-tTG antibodies have also been reported in some non-celiac patients. A team of researchers recently set out...
  8. It’s possible that your numbers could be a bit lower that than they would be had you not skipped those days, so keep this in mind when you get the results, but I would still do the tests sooner if I were you.
  9. The normal procedure is to recheck your diet and make sure it is 100% gluten-free, as even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger the DH rash. Do you eat outside your home? In restaurants? If so this could be the culprit. Other common issues are with oats or other grains that might be contaminated.
  10. If the positive cutoff for this test result is 14.9, and you are at 81.6, I think that’s very high and would be pretty definitive: TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA (U/ML) Your value 81.6 U/mL Standard range<=14.9 U/mL Definitely discuss this with your doctor.
  11. Do you have a link to this research, as quinoa is considered gluten-free and safe for celiacs. Of course celiacs may have other food intolerances.
  12. If the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been working to improve your symptoms should you go off it this soon? With DH 38 days gluten-free might not be long enough, but if you eat out, or if you include oats in your diet this could be a source of contamination.
  13. Since you tTg level was so high also discuss with your doctor whether or not you can be diagnosed without a biopsy, which the current trend in many cases: Don’t go gluten-free just yet, until all testing is completed. Yes, the is quite common, and happened to me when I was 27.
  14. Celiac.com 02/06/2021 - This easy gluten-free skillet dinner is a perfectly satisfying winter dish. It's nutritious, delicious, and a snap to make. Enjoy! Ingredients: 2 tablespoons canola oil ½ cup chopped onion 4...
  15. I'm not sure if you mean the liquid, but this lemon version looks gluten-free: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-lemon-magnesium-citrate/ID=prod6389743-product
  16. They are certified gluten-free by the GFCO.org which is the strictest certification in the USA, and must test below 10ppm to have this certification. If they have any issues with cross contamination they would not have gone to this level of certification, which isn't required in the USA.
  17. If you can get a copy of your results from your doctor it might be helpful. Sometimes those "negative" results aren't so negative. This disease isn't always black and white, and there is a lot of grey in there!
  18. Celiac.com 02/05/2021 - Recently, a team of doctors in the Czech Republic conducted a study of the inflammatory action of wheat gluten, and its relation to chronic diseases. Even with all of the research that has been conducted...
  19. You might want to look at this company's products, we did an ad review of them some time ago, but I'm not sure if they're corn-free:
  20. So farmed salmon can be fed with a feed that contains a dye to change the color of their meat too look more dark orange, like wild salmon. Farmed salmon is often very light pink, and closer to white, unless they do this. However, I'm not sure if any farmed salmon food contains wheat or not, but even it did this would not mean that the salmon meat would contain...
  21. Hi @Robotman2009, welcome to the forum! If Starbucks is claiming it's gluten-free, then it very likely is. The liability for these companies is just too huge to make the kind of mistake you're describing. I definitely agree that chips and other things in Mexican or other restaurants can be a source of contamination. The tortilla chips are usually made...
