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.): -
Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance...

Celiac.com 06/23/2025 - Doctors and researchers have long suspected that people with one autoimmune disease may be at higher risk for developing others. This study focused on two such conditions: rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease... -

It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign tha...

It’s great that you were finally able to see a gastroenterologist—and even luckier to get in the same day as your referral! It sounds like your GI is taking a very thorough approach, which is reassuring given your complex symptoms and history. The confusion around your different tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody results is understandable. The variation bet...

Gluten free thyroid medications
Scott Adams replied to KimMS's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't believe that site is updated regularly, and it may be unreliable. 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... -
Celiac.com 06/20/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For people with this condition, the only effective treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet... -
I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

Celiac.com 06/19/2025 - For the 1% of the global population with celiac disease and the millions more with gluten sensitivity, wheat has long been a dietary enemy. But a groundbreaking genetic discovery could change that—by deleting k... -
First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

Your experience with gluten is actually not unheard of! Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or even celiac disease report an initial ‘honeymoon phase’ during a gluten challenge, where symptoms temporarily improve before worsening again. This could be due to your body adjusting or even a temporary immune modulation. Since you’re only 2.5 w...

Welcome to the forum! Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead...

Gluten free wheat flour????
Scott Adams replied to CJF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive... -

confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed
Scott Adams replied to wellthatsfun's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while f... -
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.

Gluten-Free Drinks
Scott Adams replied to JulieB11's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there ... -
