If you wanted this to be helpful, you would tell us which product contained gluten. Benadryl makes so many different items - pills, syrup, capsules, etc. I doubt they all contain gluten. I keep trying to find the study that was done of many medications and they only found actual gluten in a tiny number. -
Gluten in medications is extremely rare. Just because a company does not want to test for gluten, does not mean it isn't gluten-free.

I wouldn't use Enterolab for anything. The genetic tests are probably accurate but a lot of the other stuff they "test" for isn't medically accepted. I got my genetic test from Quest. But it seems to me that the basic Celiac blood panel (for antibodies) was about the same price as the genetic test. You can call them and ask.

I can't imagine that it's that it would or couldn't have gluten . But you could always check with the company that makes it. -
Blood test results

So, it really can't tell if you have Celiac from those 2 tests. the "serum IGA " tests to see if you are able to make " IGAs" . Being low says that you don't. That isn't due to Celiac and may mean nothing to your health. What it means is that this IGA type of Celiac test is to valid. There is a version called IGG - that would be valid. ... -
Have you thought about getting some sort of counseling/ psychological help? Seems like you could use someone to help with coping with your family issues ... maybe one that specializes in eating disorders. Sounds to me like your problems with your family are affecting your eating and digestion.

It probably depends on what you actually had. They didn't test for Celiac and the allergy testing wasn't the most accurate. Have you been strictly wheat free for all those years? You could certainly go to an allergist and explain the situation. Try wheat in the office (in case of a bad reaction).

I drink the vanilla or another flavor , several times a week. I don't think there is a gluten issue but there are a lot of ingredients that could bother someone.

Trying to change a human's genes is way more complicated and scary than working a plants. So many things that could go wrong!

They are not the first or the only gluten-free food bank. We have had one here for a couple of years.

There is this interesting thing called " Google". You can find things like this http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/12-foods-vitamin-oranges/story?id=20729780 ?

Well.... it can be... the plastic lid on the lovely chicken salad you brought for lunch sticks, you pull too hard and it, and half your salad going flying all over the company computer?

It's done this since I started on here, many years ago. Kind of funny when people type g f meaning girlfriend...... ?

When does it matter if its gluten-free? ( likely is) but she isn't eating it. She isn't 2 and put her fingers and paint brush in her mouth. Are you or your son going to lick the glass? Of course not. Any paint can be be scraped off glass with a razor blade. Some people use dry erase markers
-
I think the stuff mark d FB is really really gluten-free. Know lots of people that buy it with no issues
-
To me it sounded like he thought frying corn chips would contaminate the oil . I never eat there. I know a few years ago, the one by me was pretty Celiac friendly. Maybe you had to have grilled wings? They would get a clean bowl to toss them for Celiacs. I don't know because I wasn't interested. Maybe it depends on the store? I would imagine...
-
Why would frying corn tortillas hurt? Even if the topping contained gluten ( and yeast is not gluten), the tortillas are just corn? Right? i am not saying they may have other issues, but I think you have missed the actual gluten containing foods and possible cc
-
Why not just ask her? She is a very nice doctor . You should be able to find her i mean Jess- the patient Celiac
-
Pack a lunch or snack? Protein bars, sandwich, crackers and cheese slices, etc I hope they diagnosed you on more than a gene?
-
Odd. And I wonder why she thinks she doesn't have Celiac? But her little experiment does show that some people may be going over board with new and separate pots, etc

In the past, a few of us sent each other Xmas cards. Some people made them or sent a card that showed something in their town. If people want to do that, they can pm addresses or even email cards.
-
I found this to be true. I think as you go along, you get into a groove - things become habit. You think about it less because I think becomes second nature.
-
Sounds like you haven't seen an actual doctor and gotten tested for Celiac before going gluten free? Sounds like you are spending a lot of money for this stuff.
