    I am not sure this statement is correct: "By the way, Salicylic Acid is vitamin B11." Salicylic acid is not the same as vitamin B11. They are different compounds with distinct chemical structures and functions in the body. Salicylic acid is a type of organic acid and a plant hormone. It is often used in skincare products for its ability to exfoliate...

    I'm not sure how those issues you mentioned relate to myths mentioned in this article?

    It looks like all of your celiac disease blood tests are negative, and you are not IgA deficient: Total igA: 0.94 g/L. (0.40-3.50). 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.

    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. It will correctly list all ingredients in the "Inactive Ingredients" which might contain gluten. For a drug like Paxlovid there would not be any gluten ingredients in the...

    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 IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

    Around 9% of people with celiac disease also have an intolerance to oats, even the gluten-free variety, so this may be the case for you. In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does not mean that there is 19ppm gluten, as some...

    The swollen tongue and and face sound more like a food allergy. Perhaps you should try an elimination diet and keep a food diary to see if you can identify the culprit? 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...

    I would still view ISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGA at 3 as another weak positive if the scale is positive is over 3. Normal people would not score a 3, and that combined with a positive DGP tells me that you are definitely having an issue with gluten. Were you eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily before the blood tests? You should have...

    BTW, I recommend that you always take the aspirin after you eat, and would do it after dinner. My reasoning for taking it after dinner is due to statistics which show that heart attacks most often occur in the morning. Blood tends to be stickier in the morning, which may increase the likelihood of clot formation in the arteries, a common cause of heart attacks...

    I suppose if your celiac disease were recently diagnosed, and you might already have issues with intestinal bleeding due to it, your doctor might want you to hold off until that was under full control. I'm not aware of any incompatibility with taking aspirin or other NSAID and celiac disease, especially if it's been recommended by your cardiologist, but it...

    May is officially Celiac Disease Awareness Month. Every month at Celiac.com is Celiac Disease Awareness Month, but we encourage everyone to share information about celiac disease to raise awareness, especially during May, which is Celiac...

    I believe that cigarette makers don't need to disclose their ingredients, so it would be tough to know for sure if any contain gluten. I believe American Spirit has in the past advertised its products as "natural, organic and additive-free," but obviously I don't know for sure if there could be any gluten in them, for example in the filter or paper wrapper...

    Are you concerned that it might not be gluten-free? I also take a low dose aspirin for similar reasons and get the Bayer brand via Costco. This article may be helpful:

    It draws me in and makes me wonder what will happen next.

    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've not heard of the brand but they say "No allergen" on their site, but are not labelled gluten-free. I assume you are here because you have celiac disease and your concern is gluten, is that correct?

    Welcome to the forum, and we have many summaries of scientific publications on celiac disease and obesity in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/obesity-overweight-celiac-disease/ There are also mail order celiac disease blood test kits for ~$100 which can be found by a Google search...

    In Europe doctors may diagnose you with celiac disease if your results are 10x the level for celiac disease or higher on a anti - tTG IgA test, without doing a biopsy, but you should ask your doctor about this.

    Well, it might be good to get their opinion and guidance about it. They will also realize how serious of a writer you are, which is always a good thing.
