  3. That BBQ sauce is labeled "gluten-free," is it possible you got gluten somewhere else, or have an additional sensitivity? https://www.sweetbabyrays.com/sauces/bbq-sauces/original-barbecue-sauce
  4. I believe it is also commonly used in pre-grated parmesan cheeses, like Kraft's.
  5. You're absolutely right to stand firm on this issue. The idea that introducing small amounts of gluten could "cure" celiac disease is completely false and dangerous. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, not a food intolerance, and even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger damage to the small intestine. Research has shown that exposure to gluten, even...
  6. Yes, in the mid-20th century, including the 1950s, some doctors and researchers referred to celiac disease as a condition primarily affecting people of European, particularly Northern European, descent. The term "Anglo-Saxon disease" was sometimes used in medical literature and discussions to describe celiac disease, based on the observation that it appeared...
  7. Great idea! The only issue I see with the approach is that way back in the days when "celiac disease" was almost unknown to restauranteurs, people with celiac disease used to order claiming they had a "gluten allergy," and some restaurants would not serve them because they said their food could be contaminated. Since you've had no issues ordering like this...

  9. Seborrheic dermatitis can definitely be frustrating, especially when it causes itching and redness. You’re not alone—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity also struggle with skin and scalp conditions, and some find that gluten exposure worsens inflammation. Have you noticed any connection between your diet and flare-ups? Some folks see imp...
  10. Celiac.com 03/31/2025 - Wheat is a staple food for many people around the world, but for some, it can cause serious health issues. Conditions like celiac disease, non-celiac wheat sensitivity, and baker’s asthma are often triggered by p...
  11. 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 as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

  13. Celiac.com 03/29/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the small intestine but can also have widespread effects on other organs, including the liver. Some individuals develop liver damage without a clear...

  15. In our house we use these, which you can also fry in oil in a pan: https://www.amazon.com/52USA-Wrappers-Dumplings-102-Gluten-Free-Vietnamese/dp/B0CYW29SXR/
  16. Your experience with a persistently swollen lymph node is understandable, especially given your autoimmune diagnosis. It’s reassuring that the ultrasound showed no suspicious features and your doctor attributes it to your autoimmune condition—this is actually quite common. Many people with autoimmune disorders (like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or...
  17. Your experience sounds incredibly challenging, and it’s clear that your body is reacting severely to gluten, whether it’s due to celiac disease or a worsening gluten intolerance. Given your recent symptoms—especially the intense diarrhea, chills, and systemic inflammation—it does align with celiac disease, particularly since your doctor noted these as hall...
  18. I believe there are apps on the market that can do this, however, I strongly encourage you to learn to read labels because info in such apps is often outdated, as ingredients can change without notice. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to...
  19. Celiac.com 03/28/2025 - For students with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or severe food allergies, navigating campus dining can be a daily challenge. While many universities have made strides in providing safer food options, gaps...
  20. Based on your test results (IgG ELISA: 106 units, IgA ELISA: 135 units, tTG: 251 units), all of which are well above the >30 units threshold for moderate to strong positive, there is a very high likelihood—as you noted—that you have celiac disease. While a biopsy was traditionally considered the gold standard for confirmation, your exceptionally elevated ant...
  21. The description of their patented technology is quite vague, so I would say beware of it until you have more information.
  22. It's possible, as products made with wheat starch that is rendered to below 20ppm is now considered gluten-free in the USA, and has been in Europe for decades. It would be interesting to know more about the product and technology before trying it. They claim: This is a company in Spain.
