Is custard gluten free?

Custard is normally made with milk, sugar and eggs, and so is gluten-free. However some methods of making custard, especially commercially-prepared custard, might use wheat flour and so would not be gluten-free. If you are buying custard ready-made, check the label. Bear in mind gluten is not usually a problem for people who are not suffering from a medical condition which is affected by gluten and that such a condition needs to be diagnosed by a doctor.

How accurate are blood tests for celiac disease?

No... Not very much at all I have celiac disease and have all my life. I know this because if I eat gluten im sick... if I don't im healthy. I've had a blood test quite a few times and always negative. This is most likely because I've heard that if I'm not eating gluten for 6 weeks or more as my main diet, the reaction won't show up in a blood test. But I cant eat wheat/gluten for 6 weeks or more. I've read on a poster for dining out and celiac disease, that the majority of people with celiac disease or wheat/gluten intolerance are not diagnosed. Hope this helps!

What are the seven things the lord cannot tolerate?

Technically speaking, the lord can tolerate anything. Omnipotence = all powerful, therefor there is nothing he can't do, therefor there is nothing he cant tolerate. The seven things he doesn't tolerate? I believe those would be the seven deadly sins if anything, although once again it's arguable whether a God of love would never tolerate anything.

What can't you eat if you have wheat and gluten allergies?

Barley, rye, oats, and wheat. Gluten can also be in natural and artificial flavor and caramel color. It may also be in maltoextrin, modified food starch, and is always in malt. It can be in a lot of other things too, I should know. I've had Celiac disease for almost three years. My mom and I did a lot of research and put a big binder of gluten free foods and brands together. I would recommend calling the company if you aren't sure about something. Great things you CAN eat are brown rice and quinoa. They make a lot of products with these ingredients as a base (i.e. brown rice bread, pasta etc..) Edit: Actually the oats themselves don't contain gluten but oats are generally contaminated in transport with wheat which is why we avoid oats. It is possible to get oats that have not been contaminated and are therefore gluten free. A long term study published in 2007 showed no detrimental effects on celiacs from eating these oats.


What environmental factors can cause celiac disease?
