    Welcome to the forum, and to me it sounds like she has an anaphylactic allergy to wheat, rather than celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. If her throat swells when she comes into contact with wheat, it can be very serious, and even deadly. She should have an epi-pen for this allergy in case she ever gets exposed. As a roommate it can obviously be difficult...

    Since it does not have "gluten-free" on the package you may want to contact the company to make sure. In the USA this product would likely be naturally gluten-free, but I'm not so sure about Canada. These are the ingredients that could be an issue: Maltodextrin: The source of maltodextrin is not specified. While maltodextrin can be gluten-free, it...

    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...

    In general I think a good cleaning should work on everything except wooden items, but it seems that some people go further and replace toasters and other items. Feel free to create a post in our forum on this and I'm sure you will get more answers.

    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.

    An elevated IgA level can have various potential causes, and it is essential to consider the individual's medical history, symptoms, and overall health. Some possible reasons for high IgA levels include: Infections: Chronic infections, particularly those affecting the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract, can lead to increased IgA production. Autoimmune...

    If you are having symptoms and suspect celiac disease, a more relevant test would be a celiac disease blood panel. 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 the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test...

    If you have first degree relatives with celiac disease, then you should also be screened for it, as some studies have shown that 44% of first degree relatives also may have celiac disease. It's too bad they did not also do an endoscopy for celiac disease with the colonoscopy. This article may be helpful: This article might also be helpful. It breaks...

    Welcome to the forum! I think a big question you left out is, should you continue taking the anti-acid medication, especially if this is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor), which many celiacs are wrongly prescribed before being diagnosed with celiac disease. Such meds can cause nutrient deficiencies in the long term, which doesn't necessarily help with your situation...

    If the bags of flour you move leak and create dust, perhaps it gets on your skin, in your month, etc., which may cause an issue, but it seems unlikely to happen unless a bag is leaking. I would wash my hands well after moving such bags, and perhaps consider wearing a covid-type mask at work. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine...

    I agree, and eating plain yogurt may help with stomach issues caused by antibiotics.

    Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    Did you have an HLA blood test for genetic markers for celiac disease? This would only tell you if you are in the ~40% of people who have the genes that may include you in the pool of people who could develop celiac disease.

    It's possible there may be gluten in certain dental plastics: Before having it removed is there a way that your dentist can give you more information about the product he used? If you have a company brand name you can contact that company to find out.

    I agree with @trents. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid, is generally not known to directly cause a false positive tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A (TTG IgA) test for celiac disease. The TTG IgA test is specific to celiac disease and measures the presence of antibodies that may indicate an autoimmune response...

    We have a category on Celiac.com where we've summarized the studies on celiac disease and neuropathy here in case you'd like to find out more: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

    If I were you I'd give the gluten-free diet another couple of months before deciding. You can always go back to gluten and do a gluten challenge for another celiac disease screening, but if you have DH you could undo a potential recovery by eating gluten again. On a side note, I only had DH on the back on my right thumb, and it never appeared anywhere...

    As you likely already may know, people with celiac disease can't "build up immunity" to gluten, and it can cause serious health issues if you continue to eat it. 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...

    You are self diagnosed, and may have non-celiac gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, and it sounds like doing a gluten challenge to get diagnosed would be very difficult for you, so it might be best at this point to focus on your diet, and make sure going forward that it is 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be...
