Oats in its natural form are gluten free but almost all oats are processed in a wheat processing unit. If you have Celiac Disease, all oats should be ...

Where do you get these articles?  There is some very wrong info in here.

1)  All oats should be avoided if you have Celiac Disease.  :blink:  Certified gluten-free oats are very safe for some with Celiac Disease and I think that has been firmly established in Celiac world.

3) Here we go again with the distilled vinegar issue.  :rolleyes:  It is safe and the only vinegar that isn't is malt vinegar or any vinegar that may have added flavorings after distillation that could contain gluten, of which I have never seen before in 11 1/2 years.  But read the label just in case.

5)  The baking powder issue is just another one where you have to read those labels.  I have to admit, I have never, ever seen baking powder with flour mixed in for smoothness but they may exist.

7) Corn starch. I think it ridiculous that they say you should stay away from it. This is a basic cooking item for Celiacs so again, read the label because if there is wheat added, it has to be labeled. Never, ever have gotten sick from corn starch.

10)  Sausages have gluten in the casings?  On what planet?  :lol:  There are plenty of sausages out there which are gluten free and marked accordingly on the package....the frozen ones like Jones and Applegate Farms.  I have had fresh sausage that did not contain breadcrumbs (which some do) and were perfectly fine and I never got sick.  I am really sensitive so if there were gluten in sausage casings, I would have paid dearly for eating them. You have to ask/investigate where you buy them but they can be found.  I would be more worried about what went into the sausage or them being cc'd by stuffing them before you think there is gluten in all sausages from the casings.

No wonder people are confused.......

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. 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 history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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 the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
