    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:

    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...

    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...

    Good point, @trents may want to chime in here as he does have experience with PPI's. Above all, be sure to discuss any changes, like cutting back or eliminating PPI's, with your doctor.

    So there is no cure for celiac disease, as it is an autoimmune disease, so the claim in your first link is wrong, and they offer no sources to back up their claim.

    Hi @llamalulu and welcome to the forum! If you could share your blood test results with us, including the scale that is used to mark a positive result (they vary from lab to lab), it would provide more information. I ask because you mentioned that you only had one positive result, but perhaps the other tests were elevated also, just not high enough to...

    More information about "Which Liqueurs Are Gluten-Free?"
    02/04/2021 - We get a lot of questions about whether certain products are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. One question we've seen a lot is about liqueurs. Specifically, which liqueurs are gluten-free and safe for people...

    Quaker I believe has "gluten-free" on their label, so I do not believe that Bob's would be any different with regard to possible contamination issues. If you have a sensitivity to oats it would also not make a difference what brand you ate. Have you considered Quinoa or other grains?

    If they will do the test again without charge, why not? Here is more info on the typical recommended blood testing protocol:

    It might be a tough sell to have your insurance company cover a biopsy if you've been gluten-free for a long time. In genera they want you to do a gluten challenge, and do this to make an official diagnosis, and provide follow up care (which rarely happens!). Since you're opposed to a gluten challenge, you could get stuck with the bill for a biopsy...not...

    I don't know for sure about Quaker oats, but I do not believe that they are using the same optical sorting technology that General Mills is using, and that they must therefore be sourcing their oats from farmers who don't grow wheat. Keep in mind that ~10% of celiac also have an intolerance to the protein (Avenin) in oats, and there are other things...

    This is very interesting, and we have done many medical summaries of heart issues in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/heart-failure-and-celiac-disease/ I don't believe any of them mentioned being able to go off certain medications after going gluten-free, but it does seem...

    They usually list inactive ingredients on the label, but this site may also have the info you seek: https://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/

    I would disagree that food allergy/sensitivity tests are not worth doing. I am about to re-do food sensitivity testing myself because I know that there are things in my diet that I'm allergic to on some level, and I want to see how I feel if I eliminate them for a while. I'll be writing an article on my experience, but I've already mentioned several times...

    If your symptoms when eating gluten are so severe you may want to forgo a formal diagnosis and not torture yourself further...it seems you have the answer.
  21. Scott Adams
    Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? If you eat outside your home it likely isn’t. Many celiacs have additional food intolerances, do you have issues with other foods like nightshades, soy, eggs, dairy, etc.?
  22. Scott Adams
    I believe you may have an oat sensitivity, or issues with other ingredients, but they are gluten-free.
  23. Scott Adams
    My guess is that the oatmeal would be pretty low in gluten, and would not be enough, since they recommend a slice of wheat bread per day for a gluten challenge.

    To me this makes it a pretty clear cut case of gluten sensitivity, and likely celiac disease. Personally if it is this black and white for you I would not undergo the torture of a gluten challenge. The gene test could be done at any time, but would not confirm diagnosis.
