    Celiac.com 04/29/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, fast food can feel like a minefield. Cross-contamination, hidden gluten, and ever-changing menus make dining out risky. But some major chains now offer safer gluten-free options—if you know what to order. This guide covers celiac-friendly fast food choices, preparation protocols, and how to minimize cross-contact risks. 
    Understanding Fast Food Risks for Celiacs
    Before ordering, keep these key points in mind:
    No dedicated fryers – Most chains cook fries in shared oil with breaded items (except Five Guys and In-N-Out). Burgers can be risky – Even without a bun, grills often touch gluten-containing foods. Salads aren’t always safe – Croutons, crispy chicken, or dressings may contain gluten. Staff trai...

    The Future of Celiac Disease Treatment: mRNA Vaccines at Penn's Institute for RNA Innovation (+Video)
    Celiac.com 03/17/2025 - For millions of people with celiac disease, consuming gluten can trigger severe digestive distress, long-term intestinal damage, and an increased risk of serious health conditions. The only current treatment is a strict gluten-free diet, which can be challenging and stressful to maintain. However, scientists at Penn’s Institute for RNA Innovation are exploring a groundbreaking approach using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to develop a vaccine that could revolutionize the management of celiac disease. This research aims to retrain the immune system to tolerate gluten, potentially offering new hope for those affected by this autoimmune condition.

    Vitamin and Nutrient Deficiencies are Common in Celiac Disease, Before and After a Gluten-Free Diet
    Celiac.com 04/30/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. While the primary treatment is a strict gluten-free diet, many patients—even those without severe digestive symptoms—may still face nutritional deficiencies. This summary explores how celiac disease, both before and after diagnosis, can lead to deficiencies in key vitamins, including A, E, B9 (folate), B12, and K. It also highlights how a gluten-free diet, if not carefully managed, might contribute to these deficiencies.
    How Celiac Disease Affects Vitamin Absorption
    In untreated celiac disease, damage to the small intestine impairs nutrient absorption. While severe malabsorption (leading to dramatic weight loss and deficiencies) is less common today due to earlier diagnosis, milder def...

    Celiac.com 04/28/2025 - For people with celiac disease, the only current treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet—which can be expensive, restrictive, and difficult to maintain. But what if there was another way to manage the condition? A recent study explores an experimental therapy using specially modified immune cells to help control the body’s harmful reaction to gluten. While still in early stages, this research could pave the way for future treatments that reduce—or even eliminate—the need for dietary restrictions.
    Understanding Celiac Disease and the Immune System
    Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the small intestine when gluten is consumed. Most people with celiac disease carry a specific genetic marker called HLA-DQ2.5, which makes their immune c...

    Celiac.com 04/24/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption, leading to damage in the small intestine. While genetic factors, particularly certain HLA types, are known to play a significant role in predisposing individuals to celiac disease, the role of immune cell profiles at birth remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether specific immune cell markers at birth could influence the risk of developing celiac disease in childhood. By analyzing dried blood spots collected at birth, researchers explored the potential connections between immune cell profiles and the later onset of celiac disease.

    Understanding the Link Between Early Celiac Disease Diagnosis and Kidney Health (+Video)
    Celiac.com 04/17/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage. Over time, this immune response can affect other parts of the body, including the kidneys. This study explores whether early diagnosis of celiac disease and adherence to a gluten-free diet can reduce the risk of developing immune-mediated kidney diseases.
    The Connection Between Celiac Disease and Kidney Health
    Celiac disease is known to be associated with other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes and thyroid disorders. However, its relationship with kidney diseases has not been thoroughly investigated. Immune-mediated renal diseases ...

    Celiac.com 04/14/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The primary treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, which helps heal the damaged small intestine and alleviates symptoms. However, some patients continue to experience health issues, such as anemia, even after adopting a gluten-free diet. This study explores why anemia persists in some individuals with celiac disease and how the timing of diagnosis and dietary adherence play a role.

    Gluten in Fentanyl—A Tongue-in-Cheek Look at a Hypothetical Crisis
    Celiac.com 04/12/2025 - In a satirical twist that highlights the absurdity of hidden gluten concerns, a fictional advocacy group called Action on Gluten has "warned" the public about gluten contamination in fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. While the idea of gluten in fentanyl is clearly far-fetched, the satire underscores the very real dangers of fentanyl itself and the lengths to which people go to avoid gluten in their daily lives.
    The "Danger" of Gluten in Fentanyl
    The fictional article claims that gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, has been detected in fentanyl circulating on the streets of Portland. According to the satire, this has led to bloating, sluggishness, and other gluten-related symptoms among fentanyl users. The piece humorously suggests that dealers should provide "gluten-fr...

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next. Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional con...

      Hi all, I was diagnosed with coeliac in August 2020. This was via a blood test, as it was during COVID, so I’ve never had a biopsy or colonoscopy or anything like that.
