    I do know that So Delicious claims to be gluten-free, but many ice creams, unfortunately, also use binders such as xanthan gum or guar gum, which can also produce reactions in some people. Do you recall any of the ingredients?

    This topic might be helpful: and here are some articles: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/

    I agree, 2 weeks eating gluten likely isn’t enough time...2 months would be the minimum but for some people that isn’t enough time.

    Pure tea is gluten-free. I’m not sure if all tea bags or blends are, but pure tea is safe.

    In your case it sounds like there is no need to torture yourself and get an actual diagnosis. Many people don’t realize that having a diagnosis of celiac disease will cause your private health insurance rates to skyrocket (at least in the USA) and make it more difficult and expensive for you to get life insurance, which I’ve experienced firsthand. Eating glu...

    Hopefully you were eating gluten regularly before you got the celiac disease blood test. Wait and see what the results are, and then you can consider your next steps. In the meantime, perhaps you can get on a list for an open appointment should someone cancel, or try to push them to move it up, as 3 months is a long time to suffer if you have DH.

    We can't officially diagnose you from this info, but certainly the villi damage along with positive tests, even weak positive blood test results, together are probably a good sign that you're on the right track by going gluten-free. If your digestive issues resolve on the diet it would be a slam dunk, but you need to be certain that your diet is 100% gluten...

    I'd never eat pasta in a restaurant...but I do take enzymes beforehand no matter how safe they tell me it is. They also use a lot of soy sauce so it may be a good idea for you to bring a bottle of gluten-free soy sauce if possible.
  12. Scott Adams
    They are certified gluten-free, which means there should be no cross contamination.

    Plenty of Korean food is gluten-free but you may want to search for gluten-free restaurant cards in Korean. You may also want to bring enzymes like GliadinX (contains AN-PEP) just in case, and take them before each meal.

    We don't have the nutrition facts, but will go out on a limb here and say that if you're at all worried about the mount of fat, sugar, carbs, etc., that these cookies might contain per serving, you probably should not be buying them. ?
  15. Scott Adams
    Good question. It does look that way, which is a concern for many reasons.

    Also be sure to get enough fiber.

    For now I'd wait to see how your results turn out, because it's still possible they could score high if you have gluten sensitivity. If they end up being below the threshold you may want to get retested to be certain. You should eat gluten daily for around 2 months before being tested, otherwise you may end up with false negative results. In your case it...

    Agreed. I also used to run polls regularly on this site and ~25% of diagnosed celiacs reported that they routinely cheated on their diet. I'm embarrassed to say that my own teenage daughter, who went gluten-free about a year ago (she's gluten sensitive with symptoms and high, but not high enough antibody levels--just under the cutoff to be offered a biopsy...

    Also, I just wanted to address a couple of things about enzymes. I get routinely criticized for endorsing them because the major support groups haven't fully endorsed their use. I am not sure how much science it takes for them to finally jump on the band wagon, but I've personally seen enough regarding AN-PEP to convince me that: 1) Taking them can't...

    Travelling is always a challenge, but another of the things in life, like eating out, that I simply won't give up. There is a reason I moved to wine country California--wine and good restaurants! I hope you'll be on here during your travels...keep us posted on how everything goes!

    I'll see if the owner of GliadinX will chime in here...
  23. Scott Adams
    I've spoken directly with the developer about the product. AN-PEP is well tolerated and has been used in the brewing industry for many years as a clarifying agent in the beer brewing process. I do believe his recommended dosage was created directly from the studies that were done. He has also said that there are no known issues with doubling to tripling the...

    If you went gluten-free for a long period of time before you got tested, your test results will likely be a false negative. Normally you must eat gluten daily for at least two months before you can be tested for celiac disease, and this goes for either blood tests or a biopsy. That said, given how certain you are that Gluten is causing all of your problems...

    Not to rehash the quote too much here about GliadinX, but it being shown to “only” detox up to 1/8 of a slice of wheat bread means it should be ideal for its intended use...as a precaution against cross-contamination. It should never be used to knowingly eat gluten. On a sidenote it did save my mom one Thanksgiving a couple of years ago when someone han...
