  4. The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...
  5. Approximately 30–40% of the U.S. population carries the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genetic markers associated with celiac disease.
  6. Speaking from experience, and as someone who was taking zinc in my multivitamins at the time of my outbreak, I would not rely on zinc or other supplements to prevent a shingles outbreak. That is what the new, extremely effective, 2 shot shingles vaccine is for, and this vaccine is very effective at preventing outbreaks. In my case I've not had shingles symptoms...
  7. Celiac.com 01/10/2026 - Chinese eggplant has been enjoyed for centuries across regions of East Asia, admired for its delicate skin, tender bite, and ability to absorb bold flavors. Traditionally, dishes like this stir-fry were prepared...

  9. Celiac.com 01/08/2026 - Celiac disease is not a preference. It is an autoimmune disorder that requires total avoidance of gluten to prevent severe illness and long-term harm. Yet for years, people with celiac disease have reported that...
  10. If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...
  11. This technology is currently years away, as it will need to go through an extensive FDA approval process.
  12. For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...
  13. Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:
  14. That's too bad--this recent topic might be helpful:
  15. I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real...
  16. Mallorca sounds like a great travel destination! This article may also be helpful--it contains a gluten-free restaurant card that might be handy when eating out:
  17. I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce...
  18. This is an old article from 2007, but interesting:

  21. Celiac.com 01/03/2026 - Sweet and sour chicken has its roots in Chinese cooking, where cooks paired crisp fried meats with brightly flavored sauces made from vinegar and sugar. When the dish reached Chinese restaurants in North America...
  22. Celiac.com 01/02/2026 - Fried rice began as a clever way to use up leftover rice in Chinese home kitchens, where nothing was wasted and cold rice from the day before became the base for a fresh, hot meal. Over time, the dish evolved into...
  23. We just added a ton of new recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-cookie-recipes/
