    These are the ingredients I see on the website today. Looks gluten-free. Don’t see any malt syrup Milk, Water, Chai Tea Concentrate [An Infusion Of (Water, Black Tea, Cardamom, Black Pepper, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves, Natural Flavours, Star Anise), Sugar, Honey, Ginger Juice, Natural Flavours, Vanilla, Citric Acid]. this is the U...

    Every year or season it seems the ingredients change. Might have been gluten-free 2 years ago. Always check at you actual store.

    Maybe you would like to start your own topic and ask questions there? Might be less confusing and give you some better answers.

    Obviously, you can chose what you want to eat or not eat. But most doctors will not let patients self- diagnose. So don’t expect them to believe you have Celiac. But , if you can’t get your rash biopsies now, you certainly can just be gluten-free. Sometimes, with dh, you need some medication to help get rid of it and that would require a diagnosis

    Yes. most all sodas are gluten free. and gatorade is gluten-free.

    I don't know what gluten would be in the air at a movie theater. Someplace with a bakery might have flour floating but probably not a movie theater. Also, those don't really sound like Celiac reactions, more like an allergy. Maybe mold or an air freshener? Someone who sat near you wearing a cologne?

    Well...set it in the bowl carefully. It isn’t like it’s really flying in the air. Unless you put a fan in it or throw it in the air - it’s not going to float around the room. Enjoy your pets.

    Are you going to eat it’s food? ? Wash your hands after you feed or handle it.

    For me, the best way to deal with this is to avoid it. I tell my friends that I will eat before I come or bring a side that will be my meal (often I bring my portion in a separate container). I tell them it is just so complex to get safe food for me, and I just want to enjoy the company and wine..... yeah they know there needs to be wine! ? When I...

    What does your doctor say? What did they find those blobs to actually be when they sent them to a lab? Sounds like you need to see a doctor.

    That's what I meant, too

    I don't know if they are still in business but you may be able to find some on line and either print or save to your phone to show waiters

    I think it is likely that you have Celiac. Sometimes, we don't react as fast or as badly as other times. Why? Who really knows. When you have been strictly gluten-free for 6 months - you could get your blood re-tested and see the numbers going down. that should confirm for you that the gluten-free diet is necessary.

    There is a difference between “shared machinery” and “ shared facility”. The grocery is a shared facility. The park bench is a shared facility. Shared facility doesn’t mean much in regards to gluten. It might be important to a person with a peanut allergy. Some of these warnings are more for a severe allergy.

    I wouldn’t because it has soooo much erythriol ( spell?) . Those bother me. I would probably check the website and ask about procedures if I wanted to eat it.

    Usually, if you ask them, they clean extremely well . Often test the machines before running the gluten-free product. Then test the product at the end. All that “certified “ means is they agree to the certifying entity’s procedures. That usually means the finished product must be tested for gluten and test to below 20 or 10 ppm - depending on the requi...

    Personally - I wouldn't take it. I am not sure how well "fermenting" wheat removes gluten. Wonder if gluten-free Watchdog has tested this?

    Have a glass or two of wine or hard cider or a rum and coke! Enjoy! There is no reason to think it will hurt your "recovery".

    If you are not allergic to a particular nut, being processed with other nuts should not be an issue. Processing in a facility that has wheat is not usually a problem unless its a bakery with flour flying in the air. Grocery stores are "shared facilities". So if that worries you, you might want to contact the manufacturer and find out what they mean...

    Soy and yeast are not gluten

    Celiac lymph nodes don't mean Celiac disease. Celiac disease is not a disease of the lymph nodes in the "Celiac region/ Celiac artery" or elsewhere. However, untreated Celiac disease can cause lymphoma. Whatever you do, the doctors should be investigating those lymph nodes.

    It is possible to miss the Celiac damage . Your TTg test is pretty high to be from something else. A good thing to do would be to go completely gluten-free and have your blood re-tested in 6 months to see if the TTg went down.
