    I agree that there is a strong case for studying broader celiac screening, especially because so many people remain undiagnosed for years while accumulating medical visits, nutrient deficiencies, bone problems, fertility issues, neurological symptoms, and other complications. Italy is already moving in this direction: its 2023 national law created a...

    This may be of interest: Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

    That is genuinely wonderful to read. A partner who takes your celiac disease seriously, changes clothes, bags contaminated work clothes, washes thoroughly, and still comes home wanting to make you a safe gluten-free meal is showing real love through action. It is such a good reminder that the right people do not make us feel like a burden; they adapt, care...

    The doctor who diagnosed me was close my age at the time, a bit older, but was just out of medical school where he was taught that celiac disease is very rare, and only around 1 in 2,500 - 5,000 people have it, and that it's mostly a childhood disease. It took us/him a few years to diagnose me, and afterwards he let me know that he had diagnosed many others...

    Any company that includes "gluten-free" on their label would be subject to a very expensive recall if their products test over 20ppm, so there is a strong economic incentive to actually ensure that such products are below that limit. Bigger companies, especially, put protocols in place to make sure the products they label gluten-free are safe for celiacs...

    I hope there will emerge some elder care facilities that will advertise as celiac friendly, as some ship cruise lines have done, and take advantage of what is clearly an unmet need, and solid business niche.

    Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

    More information about "Gluten Dominates Allergy Concerns When Dining Out: What It Means for People with Celiac Disease"
    Celiac.com 05/08/2026 - For many people, dining out is a simple pleasure. But for those living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it can be a stressful and uncertain experience. A recent report has shed new light on just how central...

    I don’t know how common this is with celiac disease specifically, but significant inflammation, weight changes, aging, genetics, and skin elasticity can all play a role. It may be worth talking with both your doctor and a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what options are realistic, from skin-tightening treatments to surgical approaches, ...

    Thanks for sharing this recommendation — it’s always helpful to hear about restaurants that understand celiac disease and offer gluten-free options with some personal connection to the issue. The chicken with spinach and mozzarella over gluten-free penne sounds delicious, and it’s encouraging that they have both gluten-free pizza and a gluten-free menu, with...

    They sound naturally gluten-free to me, but if you have a choice go with a type that includes "gluten-free" on their label.

    Thank you for sharing this — it’s really encouraging to hear from someone who has come through such a difficult stretch and is now seeing clear improvement. Dermatitis herpetiformis can be so exhausting, especially when the itching and outbreaks just won’t fully settle, so it’s helpful for others to hear that Dapsone, careful monitoring, and staying the cou...

    Dermatitis herpetiformis itching can be absolutely relentless, and it makes sense that even “only” the last 10% would still feel life-disrupting when it affects sleep and daily comfort. It’s good that you have a dermatology follow-up coming, and I’d definitely go in with a written list of questions about Dapsone, monitoring requirements, possible alterna...

    I think your perspective is really helpful, especially the reminder that healing can take time and that not everyone feels clear physical changes right away, particularly if symptoms are mild or less obvious. I also appreciate what you said about allowing yourself to grieve while still trying to focus on what is still possible. Celiac disease can feel isolating...

    This article doesn't imply that other BP meds can create celiac disease symptoms, it focuses only on olmesartan, which is a known BP med that can do this. It is, however, important to make sure any meds you take are gluten-free. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than...

    I don't see how essential oil could contain gluten--and have never heard of anyone using it to fry with due to this risk: Do not use essential oils for deep frying. Essential oils are highly volatile, possess very low flash points (e.g., lemon oil at ~50°C/122°F), and create severe fire, explosion, and toxic fume hazards when heated. They are concentrated a...
