That was an awesome article. Especially telling you what organic foods to buy and which ones are not worth it.

Excellent article!

In addition there is some research that seems to say that organic produce contains a higher level of nutrients than non organic. Open Original Shared Link

That tends to make sense to me when you consider that organic produce is usually grown with more sustainable practices. Plants or trees tend to be placed further apart to take capture more soil light and water per plant, and they tend to be farmed with a view toward preserving the land they're grown on. For organic farmers there is no quick fix for the soil, no chemical fertilizer they can spray or spread so they're more careful when it comes to preserving their land for the next crop. You also have the knowledge of knowing you're contributing to the continuation of those earth wise processes by buying organic.

      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.
