This revelation that I can eat Corn Chex :lol: got me to thinking - probably taco shells are fine then too, correct? I eat Fritos every day.

I am not aware of Taco Bell serving actual corn tortillas, though.

I am pretty sure they are all flour ones.

I used to occasionally do Taco Bell.

It's the one fast food that wouldn't make me as ill as the others.

Yeah, I am pretty sure those are flour tortillas ... :)

Connie its me again! Regular taco shells that you can get at the grocery & read the ingredients are usually fine. Look at Taco Bells web site - almost everything on it has gluten or is fixed next to gluten often by kids or people who don't really want to work there.

Hi Karen! :D Ok, so maybe making tacos at home for supper is a go ?? :rolleyes: (having read the package ingredients)

Taco Bell has relatively few options.

Tacos and burritos are great, as long as you get full corn tortillas (hard or soft).

I am not a big fan of corn but I do like the brown rice flour tortillas from Food for Life.

Make sure they are not the sprouted ones and they say gluten free on the bag, though!!

Those are great.

Make your own.

Just avoid Taco Bell, okay :)

We buy taco shells after reviewing ingredients etc. We also fry our own using corn tortillas. However, your post is called Taco Bell. If you go to their website they have a very detailed list of allergens. There are things listed that have no "wheat" but still do not fit the "gluten free" column due to risk of cross contamination. I've brought my son (celiac) their once and tried to confirm that they were prepared elsewhere and wouldn't come into contact with any other foods. She looked at me like I was speaking Jibberish... Whatever, he ate them and "seemed" fine.

I go to Taco Bell. I just order the tostada. It is safe. Unfortunately there aren't many choices there, but tostadas were one of my favorites prior to getting diagnosed so it's not too bad for me. I always ask the preparer to wash their hands and change their gloves first and they've always done so with no complaints. I haven't gotten sick eating there yet.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
