You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural...
  2. Celiac.com 11/14/2025 - Brownies were born from American home baking in the early twentieth century, when cooks began baking dense chocolate bars instead of lofty cakes. Buckwheat, by contrast, has a much older story. Despite its name...
  3. They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests. Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.
  4. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times...
  5. A Google search for your area should do the trick, just include all the key words. Normally nutritionists don't call in blood tests for nutrient deficiencies or celiac disease, but they may be able to do so in certain states, or using private labs.
  6. Celiac.com 11/13/2025 - In many communities, food assistance programs do their best to stretch limited resources, yet people who must avoid gluten often leave with bags they cannot safely eat. For anyone living with celiac disease or medically...

  10. I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."
  11. Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...
  12. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...
  13. I am so sorry you are going through this; it sounds incredibly overwhelming and disheartening to be dismissed by the very medical professionals you're turning to for help. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and exhausted, not just from the relentless physical symptoms like the leg pain, stomach issues, and profound fatigue, but from the psychological...

  15. @Jmartes71 It would probably be best to start a new topic in our forum under the "Coping" section, rather than to post this as an unrelated comment to this article.
  16. Celiac.com 11/08/2025 - Snowball cookies have traveled many paths to our holiday plates. In some kitchens they were called Russian tea cakes, in others Mexican wedding cookies, and in parts of Europe they were known as nutty shortbreads...

  19. There may still be commercial ones available for purchase, but you can make your own using AI. Just go to google, bing, chatgpt, etc., and ask it for a gluten-free restaurant card in the language you want, and ask for the English translation as well. For example I just went to Google and entered: "Provide a Spanish gluten-free restaurant card for a celiac...
  20. BTW, we've done other articles on this topic that I wanted to share here (not to condone smoking!):
  21. This is an older article, but may be helpful.
  22. Celiac.com 11/04/2025 - The love story between coffee and chocolate stretches back centuries. The term “mocha” first traveled the world with beans shipped from the Yemeni port of Mocha, while chocolate found its way into European sweets soo...
  23.
