@Tammy Rivard raises a good point, and it's the same one we face with regard to food. Companies can and do change their product formulations from time to time such that what once was gluten free no longer is and, for that matter, the opposite could be true as well. So, don't assume "once gluten free, always gluten free".- allergy

Hidden Gluten and Soy in Medications: What Patients with Allergies and Celiac Disease Need to Know (+Video)
I would dare not list any medications or pharmaceutical companies as they may or may not have dealt with the issues of putting gluten products in the medications you may take. My point in all this... advocate for yourself. Do your legwork...it's your body and if you don't do that you may have issues. Start with your local pharmacy.... and with the prescriptions...- allergy

Is blending same as cold press? Is there any juice recipe you tried that you feel helped like the ginger turmeric? Is there a brand turmeric powder you used etc? I used Aloe vera years ago but the taste is hard to get down. What are your go to juices you made?

Your genetic test results confirm that you carry the highest-risk markers for celiac disease, specifically the HLA-DQ2 haplotype (while being negative for HLA-DQ8). The fact that both HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA-DQB1*0201 appear twice means you inherited identical copies from each parent, making you homozygous for these genes. This double dose of the DQ2.5 haplotype is significant because it indicates an even stronger genetic predisposition to celiac disease compared to those who only inherit one copy. Research suggests that people with this homozygous pattern may have a higher likelihood of developing the disease, potentially more severe immune responses to gluten, and a stronger association with dermatitis herpetiformis (which aligns with your diagnosis). While this genetic profile doesn’t guarantee worse symptoms, it does reinforce why strict gluten avoidance is critical for you. Since you’re already diagnosed, the main takeaway is that your results explain your biological susceptibility—no further genetic counseling is needed unless you have family planning questions. The repeating variants simply mean both parents passed you the same high-risk alleles, which is why your body reacts so strongly to gluten. Ultimately, your diagnosis and management remain the same, but this insight helps underscore the importance of lifelong dietary diligence. -

It sounds like you and your daughter are navigating celiac disease with a lot of care and dedication, and it’s wonderful that you’re prioritizing her health and growth during this critical time. Since her antibody levels and growth have plateaued, tightening up her diet by avoiding eating out (except at dedicated gluten-free places) is a smart move—even if it’s challenging socially. Many parents of celiac kids report significant growth spurts once gluten exposure is minimized, so there’s hope she’ll catch up if her levels improve. As for the future, while her growth window closing may reduce some risks, celiac is lifelong, and staying as strict as possible will likely always be best to avoid long-term complications, even if occasional cautious outings become manageable later. Navigating this with a teenager is tough, especially with spontaneous social events. For unplanned outings, keeping safe snacks (like GF protein bars, nuts, or fruit) in her bag or your car can help. To boost nutrition, try sneaking in variety where you can—like lentil or chickpea pasta instead of rice pasta, or adding veggies and proteins to her favorite dishes. Involving her in meal planning might help with pickiness, and connecting with other celiac families or support groups could provide social strategies and emotional support. It’s exhausting, but you’re doing an amazing job—your efforts now will set her up for a healthier future. Hang in there! -

I use a blender and have made various juice recipes over the years.
