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....

Preparation for blood testing
Scott Adams replied to Emanon's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you want to go the formal diagnosis route, more info is below, but it sounds like you may also want to avoid a gluten challenge and just go gluten-free. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal N... -
Celiac Disease testing
Scott Adams replied to Heamic08's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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. -
Welcome to the forum! Their products are certified gluten-free, but the doesn't mean that a batch could not have an issue. Do you have additional food intolerance issues? How long have you been gluten-free? As @trents mentioned, many people have issues with xanthan gum, which is very common in pre-packaged baking mixes and other gluten-free products...

Newhike- Sharing My Experience
Scott Adams replied to Newhike's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The symptoms you're having can definitely be related to untreated celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If you can continue your gluten c... -
Celiac, DH and chlorine contact dermatitis.
Scott Adams replied to selectivefocus's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is a skin condition associated with celiac disease, and exposure to gluten triggers the characteristic rash. Chlorinated water in swimming pools itself is not a direct trigger for DH; however, there are a few considerations to keep in mind: People with DH often have sensitive skin, and exposure to certain chemicals, including... -
Always Hungry?
Scott Adams replied to AshleyDawn91's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I agree with @trents and adding more healthy fats to your diet should help with the hunger pangs. Avocados, cheeses, etc., are good options. -
Low libido due to coeliac?
Scott Adams replied to ReluctantlyGlutenFree's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree--the article I shared deals with menopause but the reason I shared it was its approach to a low estrogen problem, which would be similar no matter the cause of the low estrogen. Getting estrogen levels checked would likely be a good starting point. Early menopause only happens to around 1% of women in their early 30's, so this is not likely. PS... -
This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful, at least for the next time this happens:

No idea, but thanks for the tip on this product!

I'm glad to hear that they reformulated!

Low libido due to coeliac?
Scott Adams replied to ReluctantlyGlutenFree's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
On the topic of hormones, it might make sense for you to get your levels checked. This article is interesting because low estrogen could happen in those who are not going through menopause, so it's important to get your levels checked. Should they be lower than normal there are some simple solutions: https://www.medscape.com/s/viewarticle/996098 -
You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

I agree with @trents and skipping gluten for any period of time before a blood screening for celiac disease could create a false negative result. That said, I would not cancel the test if only 1 week were skipped, and would get him back on gluten daily until the blood is drawn. If he happens to test negative, be sure to look at the actual results--for example...

Low libido due to coeliac?
Scott Adams replied to ReluctantlyGlutenFree's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the forum! Others here have had similar experiences, and nutritional deficiencies are very common in people with celiac disease, so you may want to take a good multi-vitamin & mineral supplement, perhaps something like One A Day, but be sure it is a brand that is gluten-free. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac... -
My doctor thinks I'm allergic to gluten!
Scott Adams replied to PinaKnudson's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful: -
I work at a grocery store should I be taking precautions?
Scott Adams replied to Aaron2018's topic in Super Sensitive People
DH would definitely involve, at the very least, some sort of very itchy rash, usually with tiny, hard, clear blisters.
