    Make Sure Your Oats are Really Gluten-free!
    Celiac.com 08/31/2016 - Oats are traditionally one of the more commonly contaminated gluten-free grains on the market.
    According to Open Original Shared Link, "gluten-free" foods made with oat ingredients are more commonly contaminated than foods made with other "gluten-free" grains. In light of their survey results, people with a high sensitivity to gluten might want to consider taking some extra steps to make sure their oats are truly gluten-free.
    The solution? Know your oats! To be sure that your oats are safe, Gluten Free Watchdog recommends following these easy extra steps:
    1) Make sure you are sourcing oats from a supplier of purity protocol oats, such as gluten-free Harvest, Avena, or Montana Gluten-Free. Currently, Gluten Free Watchdog does not recommend any...

    What Can Topographic Lectin Mapping Reveal About Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 04/07/2020 - In the past few years, clinicians have begun to use of specific sugar residue seeking dietary proteins, called lectins, to topographically map the small intestinal cell surface and goblet cell secretory mucins to reveal the tissue's structure and function. Better understanding of the gut microbiome may be crucial to discovering the origins and modes of development of celiac disease and other sprue-like intestinal disorders.
    Researcher Hugh James Freeman of the Department of Medicine, Gastroenterology, at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada recently set out to examine the relationship between topographic lectin mapping of the epithelial cell surface in normal intestine and celiac disease.
    Researchers are still in the dark about th...

    Are Oats Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 01/21/2022 - Less than a decade ago in Chicago, there was a time when thousands of residents would have claimed that the best basketball team of all time was right here, right now. In the 1990’s, the combined magic of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the rest of that stellar Bulls team was, to a basketball fan, like nothing ever experienced in the past.
    But then, there are those who would argue that a different team of the past (perhaps Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics, or Magic Johnson & Kareem Abdul Jabar of the Los Angeles Lakers) was the best ever. And, there are statistics, personal experience and memories of games played to validate each position—everyone was right within their own world of experience.
    For an individual with celiac disease (often inc...

    New Data on Used Oats
    Celiac.com 05/06/2022 - To the newly diagnosed celiac patient, beginning a gluten free diet is often overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes, depressing. Initially it may be a relief to finally have a diagnosis. All seems easy and uncomplicated when sitting in the comfort of the doctor’s office. A visit to the store and the purchase of a few things that may be safe to eat is the time when most of us come face-to-face with the fact that life as we knew it is over.
    If you are lucky and do some homework, you find that gluten is hidden in almost everything. Gluten is the protein in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Or is it? Conflicting information regarding gluten abounds. Some authorities believe oats are safe for the celiac patient, and gluten is frequently being listed as including only w...

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating...

      Need Advice on Doctors

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.
