They made it look like eating gluten free is a trend....it is the opposite we do it to stay healthy. Maybe I read it wrong or something. What does everyone else think?

Trend or not, WOO HOO to the 86% jump in new product releases!!! So long as the government is defining gluten free (which they're working on), a gluten free trend can only help is with product increases and awareness.

Never in my lifetime did I expect to see anything remotely like that. It's fantastic. When I was diagnosed it was considered extremely rare back in 1988.

This is exciting news, with hopes more will come.

I think this article needed to add a sentence such as, "The majority of people who eat gluten free do so because of a diagnosis of celiac; which is an intolerance to wheat, barley or rye; so for them this is not the next fad diet."

I agree it did make it sound like it was the newest fad which I don't think is the best thing, but like everyone has said.... whooo hoooo more products!

Celiac/DH and gluten intolerant are lifelong customers for these products. Keep these people healthy and since it's genetic, they will make more customers.

What food company wouldn't want to tap into that market?

THe media always jumps on a tunnel vision bandwagon. As do the manufacturers when they smell a way to make big profits. Plus, the media always lacks vital information, such as the WHY of the need to have gluten free foods!

This one, however, may actually help people in the long run because so many people remain undiagnosed.

I really couldn't give a rat's behind how the gluten-free diet gets more popular, just that IT DOES! The more popular, the more the demand, the more the variety and the lower the price! The added plus is that all those people who jump on the gluten-free fad diet, will end up feeling 10 times better, realize their gluten intolerance, and stay on the diet. It's a win-win situation, if you look at it in a positive light.....

:P

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
