She does call it an allergy and say it can be diagnosed with a blood test, which could be slightly misleading, but anyone who's heard about it for the first time can go and get the info they need.

I saw it this morning and took note of the use of the word "allergy", but happy to see it mentioned. I also went to the store today and noticed a freezer full of new gluten free products....what's happening in the world??? :rolleyes:

Well, I know "allergy" is not correct, but "auto-immune disease" doesn't make as tidy a sound bite. I mean, it's like eating out and getting the bill and it says "allergy alert." Technically not correct but better than nothing so long as they got my order right. Plus there are a LOT of people that I've met who give me the blank stare when I say auto-immune but know exactly what I mean about needing to avoid gluten when I say 'allergy'. It might be more appropriate to call it auto-immune when trying to educate the public. I guess it's all about sound bites and what we're willing to settle for in exchange for public awareness. And just think, if the FDA treated it like an allergy, we'd get full gluten disclosure on every package. Wouldn't that be sumthin?

Thank you for posting that ,I truly appreciate the link. I learned from it and you never know who you may help by posting.

I have the tingling in my arms and I possible have a B-12 deficiancy. I take b-12 vitamins but, I guess that is not enough. Maybe the sublingual?

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
