She definitely has Celiac.

She has been gluten free for a week now and the changes are remarkable!!

She has a personality, she has more energy and is all around just more fun to be around!! LOL!

In fact, she has been a little "spry" the last few days....had her first "real" time out this morning and grinned from ear to ear the whole minute she sat there! ;) !!

Thank you to all who responded to my first post.

I think we're getting it all figured out and adjusting well....I will really miss having pizza delivered tomorrow night-kind of a Friday night tradition in our house and a much needed night off from the kitchen!!

Oh well, I'm just so thankful my little girl is feeling better-that in and of itself is worth all the pizza in the world! :)

I'll be in touch....

I'm glad to hear she's doing so much better!

I keep some pre made gluten-free pizzas in the freezer and on pizza night I just toss in oven and when it's done I ring the doorbell and pretend it's delivery! My daughter gets the biggest grin on her face when I do that and I say "Pizza's HERE!!!" LOL!

So glad she is feeling better! Isn't it a relief to have an answer? I hope she continues to do better and better! I have to admit that I still miss pizza nights too. But, thanks to kinnikinnick ready made pizza crusts.....the kids still get really excited when I declare a "pizza night", and it's almost as easy as ordering in!

I totally agree. Those pizza crusts are awesome!

I'm so glad little Kassidy is doing well. It's such a relief to finally be able to do something to help your child. I hope she continues to improve!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
