    Does the diet list any alcohol? No. So there is no safe alcohol if you are doing the Fasano elimination diet. Its done for people who don't respond to the regular gluten-free diet. So unhealthy/irritating items like alcohol would not be allowed. Now, your doctor should be monitoring your repsonse to this diet. Usually it isn't necessary for more...

    That's odd. Last week when we looked at it, it said all were gluten-free. Many of us Celiacs have been eating them and doing fine. Sounds like some lawyers got to them?

    Actually, it is offen not corn starch these days - it’s cellulose or potato starch. But, even if it were corn, corn is safe for Celiacs. The protein in corn is not the same as they proteins in wheat, rye or barley. “Numerous studies have failed to detect any immunogenicity by prolamines outside of wheat, barley, and rye. Therefore, corn doe...

    I don't know if you have one near you, but all See's candy is gluten-free. someone told me Aldi had some nice chocolates - but I haven't looked into them

    That was a good post! Thank you.

    There are a few fancy cheeses with beer- otherwise, cheese is gluten-free. Read ingredients, of course.

    So, even if the pills work - they would not be for a true allergy. That isn’t how allergies work. Talk to your allergist. I assume you actually went to an allergist?

    This is not true. It is another “ Celiac Myth” being spread around the internet. When moist, flour gets sticky. It would not work to keep cheese pieces from sticking. You will see that, at least in the US, they do list what is used to keep the cheese from sticking and it is never wheat flour.

    At this point, I wonder if it’s something else, not gluten, that is bothering you?

    If a food is sold in the US, then it must follow the US food labeling laws. I have been to Asian groceries in the US and they do have a label with ingredients written in English. However, never buy anything you aren’t sure of. So, if you believe that Asian food producers are not truthful- don’t shop in Asian groceries. There is still plenty of food in ...

    In many countries, the US and Canada included, if the starch is wheat, they must declare that the product has wheat. Usually it is “ wheat starch” or starch ( wheat). But it can also say “‘contains wheat”’at the end of the ingredients. I did see that once on some candy made by a small company . the bigger companies, like Kraft, will be very clearly dec...

    So your “ total IGA” is low for the original use of the test. For Celiac disease it is high enough. The way it is used for Celiac is, simply put, to see if you can make an IGA response or not. There are a very few people who do not and require a different test. https://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/is-an-iga-result-of-39-where-normal-is-81-...

    I have since found these chocolates & I eat them with no issues.

    So, let’s figure out why it says “IGA deficiency”. Can you list all the blood test ( for Celiac) with the results and ranges?. If they only did IGA tests and you are actually IGA deficient - the tests aren’t accurate.

    That test meant nothing. It wasn't done properly. You must be eating gluten to be tested for Celiac. When you have Celiac and are on a gluten-free diet, you want the tests to be negative. I You could go back to eating gluten for a few months and get re-tested.

    The good news is they don’t give gluten interveneously. Gluten is a rather large molecule that would cause clots in the smaller veins.

    That's an odd way to say it but , yes, wine does not contain gluten and neither does balsamic vinegar .

    Yeast is gluten free... it’s used in gluten-free bread

    Celiac doesn't go away. But, there are a couple of things to consider. How were you diagnosed? Perhaps it was wrong? Some people notice that if they are gluten-free for a long time , that a small exposure might not bother them. It could be that they are slow to get an immune response . It could be that they have an immune response but, for...

    I am going to guess this has nothing to do with gluten

    Labeling laws and practices can vary by country. You might want to see if there is a Celiac Association in your country. You might check Facebook - in the US, a lot of cities have a Facebook Celiac group that talks about locally available food and restaurants. Check under "Celiac" or Gluten free" and your largest close city name. For me its "Gluten...

    For the patient , it is a simple blood test usually. If you want to know more about how they process the blood and "count" the chromosomes, I would suggest you ask the testing company.

    What was in the water besides - water? Was there bleach? These sensors are not the most accurate and are not really supposed to be used with certain chemicals
  25. kareng
    Less than 20 ppm doesn't mean it has 19 ppm or 5 ppm or any gluten at all.
