    More information about "New Research Reveals Why the Gut May Stay Sensitive Even After a Gluten-Free Diet"
    Celiac.com 11/21/2025 - Celiac disease damages the small intestine through an abnormal immune response to gluten. A lifelong gluten-free diet is the current treatment, but many people continue to have symptoms or subtle tissue changes...

    Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

    While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

    The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

    Your story is a testament to the critical importance of an early and accurate diagnosis. It's tough to read about what you had to endure, including multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, all while the root cause—celiac disease—remained undetected for so long. Your experience highlights the consequences of medical ignorance surrounding this condition and...

    This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger...

    I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune...

    More information about "Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn"
    Celiac.com 11/20/2025 - More and more people without known health problems are choosing to eat less gluten or go gluten-free, hoping to improve digestion, feel lighter, or boost their well-being. But scientists still lack strong evidence...

    While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

    Welcome to the club!😉 This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have...

    Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet.

    First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to...

    More information about "Gluten-Free Diet Burnout: Why It Happens and How to Get Your Motivation Back (+Video)"
    Celiac.com 11/19/2025 - For most people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, going gluten-free begins as a medical necessity. The first few months are often filled with hope and determination. Symptoms fade, energy returns, and food...

    It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

    More information about "Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cup Swirl Brownies"
    Celiac.com 11/18/2025 - Brownies began charming home bakers in the early twentieth century as a happy accident between cake and cookie—dense, fudgy, and unapologetically chocolate. Over the decades, bakers kept tweaking the formula, d...

    This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

    More information about "Tahini Swirl Fudgy Brownies (Gluten-Free)"
    Celiac.com 11/15/2025 - Brownies have been winning dessert plates since the late nineteenth century, when American bakers began folding cocoa and butter into tidy squares that were easier to serve than cake yet more indulgent than cookies...

    I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural...

    More information about "Raspberry Dark Chocolate Gluten-Free Buckwheat Brownies"
    Celiac.com 11/14/2025 - Brownies were born from American home baking in the early twentieth century, when cooks began baking dense chocolate bars instead of lofty cakes. Buckwheat, by contrast, has a much older story. Despite its name...

    They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests. Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

    In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times...
