Malt vinegar
Scott Adams replied to HelenH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction becau... -
A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination wit...

I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 m...

Jersey Mike’s option: Gluten-free bread
Scott Adams replied to JamieAnn's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I'm going to try Jersey Mike's soon--we have one nearby. Thanks for sharing! -
Celiac.com 02/20/2026 - Savory pancakes show up in many food traditions, from griddle breads cooked for quick meals to vegetable-studded batters fried until crisp at the edges. Long before “brunch” became a thing, cooks used whatever flo... -
If you’re avoiding both gluten and oats, you’re right — a lot of “eczema” or “moisturizer with oat” products use oat-based ingredients (like colloidal oatmeal) that can be questionable for people with celiac or oat sensitivity unless the oats are certified gluten-free and tolerated. For truly gluten-free and oat-free moisturizers many people with sensitiv...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
Scott Adams replied to Known1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wonder what in RO water would cause major issues with your stomach? That seems strange, unless there is an issue with the system itself, like an installation issue, lack of changing the filter for a long time, etc. -
Isolated DGP-IgG elevation can be tricky. In children who are not IgA deficient and who repeatedly have negative tTG-IgA and normal biopsies, DGP-IgG alone is not very specific for celiac disease. It can sometimes be elevated due to other immune activity, transient infections, lab variability, or even non-celiac inflammatory conditions. The fact that it has...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
Scott Adams replied to Known1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially... -
With the wide availability of frozen prepared gluten-free pizzas, for example DiGiorno's, it's probably best to avoid the risk of eating pizza in restaurants that also make regular pizza.

I will only add that one should never do 50k IU daily of vitamin D without being advised to do so by your doctor, and only if they are closely monitoring your vitamin D levels over the time you are doing this.

Michelin tire company, since 1900, has published a guide to restaurants that is very well respected: https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/restaurants For info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_Guide

This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother...

That is a very old study that concludes "Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of CD patients", and I've not seen any substantive studies that support the idea that corn would be a risk for celiacs, although some people with celiac disease could have a separate intolerance to it, just like those without celiac disease...
-
I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the...

So far, current research does not show that celiac disease directly “destroys” the gallbladder or routinely causes it to need removal. What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, ga...

I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period. The upc...

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...
