Celiac.com 08/27/2024 - With increasing awareness and diagnosis of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, strict adherence to a gluten-free diet is more critical than ever to prevent symptoms and long-term complications. However, despite best efforts, accidental gluten ingestion can still occur, causing significant distress for those affected.
In fact, data shows that most celiacs are regularly exposed to gluten.
Moreover, data also shows that most exposure to gluten is silent and ongoing.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to alleviate symptoms and support recovery. This article combines practical home remedies and strategies shared by our community members, along with insights from recent research.

Celiac.com 09/10/2018 - Anyone diagnosed with celiac disease needs to eat a gluten-free diet if they hope to see their condition improve, and not lead to worse outcomes. So, how much gluten exposure do celiacs get on a gluten-free diet?
William F. Balistreri, MD, Director Emeritus, Pediatric Liver Care Center; Medical Director Emeritus, Liver Transplantation at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio presented data at this year's Digestive Disease Week that focused on the challenges celiac patients face in trying to follow a gluten-free diet.

Celiac.com 11/19/2018 - People with celiac disease cannot reliably determine whether they ate gluten or not based on symptoms, however severe those symptoms may be, according to research presented by Amanda K. Cartee, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, and her colleagues, at the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
Because there is presently no FDA-approved test to confirm gluten exposure, celiac patients commonly rely on the presence or absence of gastrointestinal or other symptoms as an indicator of gluten exposure. But how reliable is that method? Not very reliable at all, says Dr. Cartee.
Now, the study was small, but it was also rigorous. Dr. Cartee and her associates developed a double-blind, placebo-controlled gluten challenge to identify the rapid ...

Celiac.com 02/25/2019 - Even when following a gluten-free diet, many people with celiac disease occasionally ingest small amounts of gluten in food. However, researchers don’t have much good data on how that plays out in real life. Testing patient stool and urine is an excellent way to measure the frequency of gluten exposure in celiac patients who are on a gluten-free diet. To get a better picture, a team of researchers recently set out to explore the pattern of fecal and urinary excretion of gluten immunogenic peptide (GIP) during a 4-week period in celiac patients on a long-term gluten-free diet.
The research team included Juan P Stefanolo; Martín Tálamo; Samanta Dodds; Emilia Sugai; Paz Temprano; Ana Costa, Ana; María Laura Moreno; María Inés Pinto Sanchez; Edgardo Smecuol; Horaci...

Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone. In t... -

Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference...- 1

- lalan45 replied to xxnonamexx's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease29My journey is it gluten or fiber?
That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ... -

I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled... -

First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...
