    More information about "Can Your Gut Microbiome Predict Celiac Disease Years in Advance?"
    Celiac.com 01/15/2026 - Celiac disease has long been viewed as a condition that appears suddenly—first with vague digestive issues, then with clear serological markers, and finally with intestinal damage diagnosed through biopsy. But a...

    Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to bui...

    You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate...

    Your satiation is challenging and a common dilemma for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: distinguishing between a routine viral illness and a reaction to gluten exposure. The overlap in symptoms—fatigue, malaise, body aches, and general inflammation—makes it nearly impossible to tell them apart in the moment, especially with a h...

    Your situation highlights a difficult but critical crossroads in celiac diagnosis. While your positive blood test (a high TTG-IgA of 66.6) and dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet strongly point to celiac disease, the gastroenterologist is following the formal protocol which requires an endoscopy/biopsy for official confirmation. This confirmation is...

    Your experience of being medically dismissed for decades, despite a clear celiac diagnosis since 1994, is unacceptable. It is a tragic common thread in our community that the systemic failure to understand celiac disease leads to a cascade of other diagnoses—like SIBO, IBS, depression, and now the investigation of MS or meningioma—while the core autoimmune con...

    Red meat is gluten-free, so I'm not sure why you would not be able to include that in your diet unless you had another health issue.

    Amen! I'm already bothering my doctor about getting an updated vaccine!

    The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...

    Approximately 30–40% of the U.S. population carries the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genetic markers associated with celiac disease.

    Speaking from experience, and as someone who was taking zinc in my multivitamins at the time of my outbreak, I would not rely on zinc or other supplements to prevent a shingles outbreak. That is what the new, extremely effective, 2 shot shingles vaccine is for, and this vaccine is very effective at preventing outbreaks. In my case I've not had shingles symptoms...

    More information about "Inmate with Celiac Disease Wins $630,000 After Jail Denies Gluten-Free Food"
    Celiac.com 01/08/2026 - Celiac disease is not a preference. It is an autoimmune disorder that requires total avoidance of gluten to prevent severe illness and long-term harm. Yet for years, people with celiac disease have reported that...

    If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

    This technology is currently years away, as it will need to go through an extensive FDA approval process.

    More information about "Rapid Diagnosis of Celiac Disease Using Blood-Based Infrared Spectroscopy and Deep Learning"

    For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...

    Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

    I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real...

    Mallorca sounds like a great travel destination! This article may also be helpful--it contains a gluten-free restaurant card that might be handy when eating out:

    I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce...
