    Welcome, Pete! Barilla is "Certified Gluten Free" which requires more rigorous testing than just "Gluten Free" and testing by independent testing labs. Could it be that you're reacting to some other ingredient in the pasta? Many of these gluten-free noodle products contain a lot of pea protein which is high in fiber but could cause the symptoms...

    When you go to Nima's home page and click on the "Shop" shortcut, it takes you to Amazon. But Amazon says it is not available and they don't know when it will be back in stock. I can't find any contact info on the Nima home page as well. When I click on the Nima FAQ shortcut the page doesn't load and there is an error message. Are they still in business? ...

    PolyBlank, welcome to the forum. Celiac Disease is not an allergy. It is an autoimmune disease that expresses itself as inflammation of the lining of the small bowel lining when wheat, barley or rye is consumed and, for some celiacs, also oats. A person with Celiac Disease can often not be allergic to the gluten protein in those same grains. Conversely...

    Mandeep, Probably not a good idea to post your email address on a public forum. This forum has a Personal Messaging feature for that purpose if you register as a user. Also, no need to double post just to add some information. There is an editing tool for that but it may have a time limit. I suggest editing out your email address and actually join the...

    Have you in fact been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and if so, are you eating gluten free?

    There shouldn't be much of a concern there as long as things are washed thoroughly and you don't drink the dish water. Some have expressed concern about using the same cast iron skillets as gluten eaters in the family but I don't know.

    I can't answer your question about the reputation of the laboratory you reference but my larger concern is about the methodology of the naturopath. I am certainly aware that improvement in serum analyzing technology allows for smaller blood samples to be used for testing but a finger prick blood sample just seems too small to allow for the various antibody...

    The gene test is far from being definitive since only a small portion of those with the genes actually develop celiac disease whereas a relatively large proportion of the population have the genes. It takes some kind of triggering event for the genes to be expressed. But if turns out you don't have the genes then you could look elsewhere for what is causing...

    Jesse, No. I would not feel comfortable eating chipotle at a restaurant unless I could confirm with he chef that it is gluten free or is on the restaurant's gluten-free menu, if they have one. Even if gluten containing grains are not listed in the ingredients it is certainly possible that gluten is in the spices and seasonings. When dining out, I would...

    Celiac Disease creates a greater risk for small bowel cancer. I would hesitate to start reintroducing gluten into your diet if I were you since you already had a tumor and recent surgery. Instead, I would double down on eliminating gluten from your diet. Educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in our food supply, supplements and medications. If after...

    Welcome to the forum, Jesse! If there has been substantial healing of the villi then getting glutened once in a while should not set you back to square 1 in the big picture of things. But it still might take you 2-3 weeks to feel fully recovered from the experience. Most Celiacs will tell you that after they have been gluten-free for a significant period...

    I think not. Biopsies to check for celiac disease are not considered valid unless the patient has been currently consuming gluten on a regular basis. So for clarification's sake, I assume you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease but at some point before the hemicolectomy you put yourself on a gluten-free diet.

    News about this research and it's phase 2 trial have been posted several times recently in various places on this forum. Again, I caution the community that the article falls short of saying this technology is a cure for celiac disease. If you read it carefully, it is saying, "After treatment with the technology, the patients were able to eat gluten with...

    "Fill-blown celiac disease"? I wonder what he meant by that but I'm assuming he meant significant damage to the villi. Otherwise, it's like being a little pregnant.
  15. trents
    Yeah, I was thinking that would be what you were driving at but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something else.

    What is the thought behind the remodeling question? What am I missing?

    You are welcome and also let me welcome you to the forum. Another thing to consider is that Celiacs often develop allergies and intolerances to non gluten foods. Soy and dairy intolerances/allergies seem to be the most common but it can be almost anything. Sometimes these go away after the gut has experienced healing with gluten-free eating. As you know...

    Talk to your doctor about starting either an H2 blocker or a Proton Pump Inhibitor (aka, PPI) in order to get your acid reflux under control. But make sure you get don't stay on either for an extended period of time so as to develop a dependency or other health problems related to suppressing stomach acid for long periods of time. The other thing is...

    I am coming to the conclusion that I have thresholds for a number of different foods. I can eat them without consequence sometimes but not other times. If I eat them too often or too much at one time, whatever the offending component is, I get ill. I think I'm seeing this pattern with nuts, dried fruit, cured meats and pickled products for instance. In my...

    There are brands of rice crispy type cereals I think that do not have malt flavoring.

    I'm being kind of picky I know but it's "celiac" not "celiacs". Hope you aren't offended by the correction.

    It depends on what the aging bacteria are cultured on. Often it is wheat is my understanding.

    I have celiac disease but In my experience, when getting "glutened" the acute symptoms (cramping, vomiting and diarrhea) lasts 3-4 hr. but I am still out of sorts for a couple of weeks. I would have drilled the eatery staff down with regard to what is meant by "gluten friendly" pancakes. Even if the pancake mix contained no gluten intentionally, if the cakes...

    Several possibilities: 1. You are allergic to cinnamon. 2. The cinnamon is not gluten free. It is not uncommon for seasonings and spices to use wheat as a substrate or texturing agent or to be processed on equipment that also processes gluten containing grains, such that there is cross contamination. This can be a real issue with some people who...

    Welcome, Nessacarrie! I don't mean to avoid your question but some additional info would be helpful to us in addressing your question. First, what testing did the doctor do to arrive at the conclusion that you are gluten sensitive? What kind of doctor are we talking about? GP? gastro enterologis? Naturopath? Second, what testing did the doctor...
