This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): 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...

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. In your case it would make sense to get the endoscopy done based on your results.

Bloodwork Results/Diagnosing
Scott Adams replied to Barmstrong1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
A weak positive is a good indicator of celiac disease. 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 (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally... -
Help with recent test results
Scott Adams replied to Ellis Aust's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you wanted to get formally diagnosed you'd need to do a gluten challenge, and that info is below. But if you already know that gluten causes you issues, and you have first degree family members with celiac disease and you carry the gene for it, perhaps just get more serious about your gluten-free diet...that info is also below. This article has... -
I will have to assume that your diet has been 100% gluten-free. The dark stool could be a sign of intestinal bleeding, so be sure to run this by your doctor, especially if you have colitis in your family. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal...

The casein/cow's milk intolerance is is normally secondary, after the villi are damaged. 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...

Is Flavored Sparkling Water Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Most likely yes, but they don't list the ingredients on their site: https://www.polandspring.com/products/sparkling-water/raspberry-lime-flavor -
and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

Microscopic Lymphocytic Colitis
Scott Adams replied to Teresa Dean's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is an older study, but relevant: -
Hopefully the mass is nothing too serious...I assume they will diagnose it and treat it if necessary. The pictures you showed me definitely show he looks much better after being gluten-free, but be sure to follow up with his doctors about this mass that they found.

I had the same realization after my diagnosis. Although the full-blown symptoms didn't happen with me until after getting sick on a trip to Europe when I was in my early 20's, I realized that many skin and anxiety issues that I dealt with when I was much younger were likely associated with what might have been, at that point, non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

Welcome to the forum! The good news is that once you eliminate all gluten you should start feel better within days to weeks, but everyone is different so it can be hard to know for sure how quickly you will recover. The improvement should be slow but steady, and the younger you are the faster it should occur. Oats naturally contain a protein called...

One thing that helped me with brain fog and concentration issues that I discovered within the past few years, and this would likely be advised only for older males, is DHEA. I take 25mg a day and it helped a lot with my focus and concentration.

I looked on Amazon at its ingredients and didn't see anything that might contain gluten.

In my case it seem very sporadic, with the exception of the RLS which isn't fully resolved, but much better. After experimenting with various supplements over time it was ~3-6 months before most of the ataxia and muscle issues were gone. More about my supplementation is here:

That makes more sense! There was very limited awareness of this disease back in the 1960's, and not antibody tests for it. It's good you finally figured this out!

If it is related to your celiac disease then your diet may not be 100% gluten-free, but you should consider getting a referral to a dermatologist who can biopsy it for DH. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

No need to remove yourself...I am just encouraging someone from South Africa to start a club here. Feel free to chat away in this topic, or to start a club...either is perfectly fine.

I haven't seen studies done on whether or not DH is related to NCGS. It is considered the skin manifestation of celiac disease by the medical community, so it is considered to be a form of celiac disease. This article may also be helpful:

mrna vaccines reduce bifidobacteria in gut
Scott Adams replied to Megawisdumb's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The vaccine is definitely man made, but the source of the virus is being debated by scientists. Regardless of the source, the science is clear that those who are vaccinated have less serious disease, and less risk of death from it, and if they have less serious disease it means they are less likely to suffer from the lower the levels of Bifidobacterium in... -
In the past I've had minor issues with muscle twitching, but for me the worst symptoms were numbness and painful tingling in my feet, restless leg syndrome, and stiff necks and tingling in my neck and head area which seemed to be caused by muscle knots in my neck and shoulders. Although my doctor was keen on tracking all of this when I went in for physicals...
