  1. Celiac.com 12/31/2025 - Coconut macaroons and brownies rose to fame along different paths: old-world coconut confections sweetened with egg whites found their way into American bakeries in the late 1800s, while cocoa-rich brownies emerged...
  2. You can take more than one GliadinX before eating out, but I'd avoid items that you know contain gluten, for example the chicken with beer in the coating. It's really designed for small amounts of cross-contamination, and should not be used to purposefully include gluten in your diet.
  3. That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!
  4. Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...
  5. Celiac.com 12/27/2025 - Egg drop soup has long been a comforting staple in Chinese home kitchens and restaurants alike. Traditionally served as a light beginning to a meal, it is believed to have originated as a simple way to stretch a...
  6. If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.
  7. First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...
  8. Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune...
  9. Some members here take GliadinX (a sponsor here) if they eat out in restaurants or outside their homes. It has been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. This would be for small amounts of cross-contamination, and it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again.
  10. Celiac.com 12/24/2025 - Orange chicken is often associated with Chinese-American takeout restaurants that became popular in the late twentieth century, especially in North America. While it is not a traditional dish from China, it was...
  11. Celiac.com December 2025 - Explore expert insights, research updates, and practical tips on celiac disease, gluten-free living, and emerging treatments in our video library. Stay informed and empowered with the latest developments to manage...
  12. Celiac.com 12/23/2025 - Dining out should be enjoyable, social, and stress-free. For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, however, eating at restaurants often feels like walking through a minefield. Many menus now feature...
  13. It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at...
  14. That's terrible! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
  15. Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
  16. Celiac.com 12/22/2025 - Do teenagers who already live with an autoimmune condition face a higher chance of developing type one diabetes later in life? While doctors have long noticed that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster together,...
  17. There are huge categories of gluten-free foods, are there any particular types of foods that you are trying to find?
  18. Celiac.com 12/20/2025 - Egg Foo Yung is a classic Chinese-American dish that first gained popularity in the mid-20th century as part of the rise of neighborhood chop suey houses across the United States. Inspired by Chinese omelets, it...
  19. Celiac.com 12/19/2025 - This study explores the relationship between two autoimmune conditions—celiac disease and autoimmune gastritis. While celiac disease affects the small intestine and is triggered by gluten, autoimmune gastritis t...
  20. Let us know what you discover!
  21. While it can be frustrating, slow histological healing on a strict gluten-free diet is not uncommon, even with normalized blood tests and symptom improvement. The fact that you've moved from Marsh 3b to 3a shows progress, which is positive. Complete mucosal healing can often take several years, especially in adults. Your excellent adherence and normal ttG...
  22. In another post I believe you mentioned that you had Covid-19, was this the reason you might have issues with red meat, or is it an allergy? People with celiac disease can generally eat red meat, as it is gluten-free.
  23. I think you are referring to the article below, which we recently published. Having celiac disease does increase your odds a bit of getting other autoimmune diseases, and this is just a fact, but there is no reason for you to worry about this since it's out of your control, and the likelihood is still small.
