Do you wear an N-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour?

Do you eat out in restaurants?

Do you take vitamins?

No mask

Do not eat out

My vitamins are gluten free

You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

 mcg Vit. B12Hi dlaino  - You mentioned that you are now feeling sick all the time. If this is making you miserable you might want to go to your health provider, describe what you are feeling and your symptoms so that theySome of the people here can give you useful advice about taking supp;ements and the amounts you could take to improve your overall health. I have increased my Vit. B12  can help you figure out what is happening. Just because you have gluten intolerance does not mean that your current problems are related to that. Some of the people here can give you useful advice about supplements and how much to take for improved health. I recently upped my Vit. D3 from 50 mcg to 150 mcg and now take either 500 mcg or 1000 mcg of vit. B12 sublingual daily instead of once a week.                                   

Take care

Hi im from northern europe are blood type 0+ have celiac with code K900 on the paper from doctor, have low vitamin D and b12 and folate, zinc, manganese and high copper it say in test. The best food i have eaten for now is LCHF, i tried paleo but i was missing the dairy. And i love the cream in sauces. LCHF is good choice there is no grains in the dishes. It's completly gluten free lifestyle i say. Because i feel good to eat it.

Low carb high fat , this diet is good fo diabetes patients and those who want to get down in weight and have their bloodsugar on good levels. They don't eat carbs they eat high fat products as high fat is not dangerous. It's a myth. Your get more gallstones without fat. When i start eat more fat my gallstones have went off. They not eat grains and sugar. They eat whole fat products and feel better then ever. When i did not eat so much fat before i had problems with my gallbladder and stones. When i started LCHF my doctor said all of my stones have dissapear from gallbladder from last screening of my bladder. I feel better and not tired as i had eat a lot of carbs then my bloodsugar should go up and down like a carousel. Carbs will turn my body to sugar and store as fat. Many doctors now have changed their minds that high fat was so dangerous. But now it have better respond to protect our body. I eat it and i have not feel so good ever. Its a lifestyle for me. I had diabetes 2 before now i don't need to take my insulin anymore.

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      It could, but it could also mean that gluten still not being fully eliminated. It's important to get a celiac disease blood panel to help figure this out. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions that can cause damaged villi:

      Some Mod asked me about blood tests. Dr said no need, nowhere to go as I am gluten-free alreay. He threw around terms like: TTG  2P DQH. not sure if it relates to gluten-free but he removed a polyp in 2022 and will recheck in 27. so my conclusion is that I am mostly gluten-free but not strict. Much obliged, Jeff
