Has an iron supplement been considered? Ferritin is low but what about hemoglobin and hematocrit? 

What vitamin and mineral deficiencies has he been tested for?

Has he had an edoscopy with biopsy done yet to test for celiac disease. We get some people with damaged villi that show up in the biopsy but not in the antibody tests.

Iron supplement - I am still discussing with Doctor to see if they will recommend; HCT 38.2 low (Ref Int 40-50); HGB 125 (Ref Int 120-140).

Vitamins C/D/B1/B6/C/Zn/Cu//Mg/Fe/Ca/Folate were done. D was low. B6 was high. Everything else OK.

Endoscopy/Biopsy were done. Normal. Marsh0 and did not indicate Celiac. But we had TTG/EMA high and now after gluten-free diet, repeat TTG/EMA are normal.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
