You are correct--my bad! The ingredients do include wheat starch, and the fact that their products are certified gluten-free means that they test below 10ppm, but again, some celiacs do report issues with products that use Codex wheat starch. Here is the label of the one I though was wheat-free:

Your diligence in managing cross-contamination is impressive, and it does sound like the dishwasher could be the culprit—especially since your symptoms started around the time you got it. Even if plates and cutlery look clean, gluten proteins can linger if the dishwasher isn’t effectively removing residue. Grittiness or visible marks suggest it may not be ...

Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?
Scott Adams replied to MagsM's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Your situation sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re taking a proactive approach to uncovering potential triggers for your Ménière’s symptoms. Given your family history of celiac, low folate, ferritin, and total protein (all of which can hint at malabsorption), and your possible IgA deficiency, further investigation is absolutely warranted.

It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality w...

Thanks for sharing--it's great to hear!

I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and...

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. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:

Wheat Straw Dishes
Scott Adams replied to SophiesMom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Washing strawberries in water, which you should always do anyway due to pesticides that may be on them, should make them safe. -
It is possible you have an additional food intolerance, possibly to milk/casein? Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some...

Your situation is intriguing—while the biopsy ruled out celiac disease, the elevated gliadin IgA (along with gastritis from H. pylori) suggests your immune system is reacting to gluten, albeit differently than in classic celiac. High gliadin IgA can occur in non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), other autoimmune conditions, or even as part of gut inflammation f...

Your experience highlights a fascinating and often overlooked connection between gut health, mental health, and medication efficacy—something many in the celiac community encounter. When you removed gluten, your body likely began healing, which can dramatically alter nutrient absorption, inflammation levels, and even neurotransmitter production (like serotonin, ...

While your negative tTG-IgA result suggests celiac disease is unlikely, the elevated total IgA (638) is notable and warrants further investigation. High IgA can occur in various conditions, including chronic infections, autoimmune disorders (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), or even liver disease—but it’s not typically linked directly to MS. That said, yo... -

Wheat Straw Dishes
Scott Adams replied to SophiesMom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
PS - To be on the safe side, I would still avoid these products. BTW, there is also a long running debate about whether strawberries are contaminated with gluten when wheat straw is used under the plants, which is a common farming practice for a variety of reasons. -
There is a lot of conflicting research around NCGS, and it likely won't be resolved soon.
-
PS - I agree with @Mari, and it works best when taken right before eating anything that might be contaminated, but in the case of the review above, my mother took it ~5-10 minutes after finishing her last bite of regular pie.

Although this is a paid review which I wrote after receiving a free bottle from them, it is a true story. I had planned to take a couple before eating out for a few weeks, then write the review, however, a situation developed that changed the entire course of my review:
