Have you shown this yet to your English teacher?

We've had a lot of people on the forum who had a positive blood test and negative biopsy, or vice versa, but they improved on a gluten-free diet. In this case it is probably best to stick with the diet, especially if you have the genetic makeup and one positive test, AND your symptoms improve on a gluten-free diet.

Given the severity of your symptoms I can understand your reluctance to eat gluten again to be tested. I don't think it matters too much to have an official diagnosis in your case, but a positive genetic test that @trents mentioned would at least let you know that celiac disease is a likely culprit, especially if your symptoms improve greatly on a gluten...

There is a strong connection between migraines and untreated celiac disease, and we have summarized much of the medical research on this topic in the category below: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/ Eating out could definitely be a source of cross-contamination...

At your age I know that 2 years sounds like a very long time, especially if you choose the harder work path of staying in the dorms where you need to cook and clean for yourself, and get a job to cover the extra costs, however, to me it seems like this might be a better option, at least as far as your overall mental health is concerned. You also mentioned...

Certain gluten-free flours do run the possibility of cross-contamination, especially at mills or packaging facilities, so be sure you purchase ones that say gluten-free, or better yet, certified gluten-free.

Traveling to Mexico with Celiac Disease: A Gluten-Free Guide
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Travel
I've carried on gluten-free snacks and/or meals on every plane I've ever been on, whether international or domestic. The only thing you can't get through security for carrying on would be liquids, but foods are fine. -
Is it possible to be glutened by heavy smoke from wildfires??
Scott Adams replied to Kg100's topic in Super Sensitive People
While I can understand the idea that you could get wheat contamination from working around wheat fields, I am not sure if the same thing would happen if the wheat burned and you breathed in the smoke. I suppose it would need to be studies, and I've never heard of such a study. I live in an area in Northern California where there have been severe wildfires... -

gaining too much weight
Scott Adams replied to momashes's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If you had marsh 3b villi damage then you most certainly have celiac disease, and should be 100% gluten-free. As your gut heals you will absorb nutrients better, so some people do gain weight after going gluten-free...I certainly did. Also, having malabsorption can cause you to feel like you are starving, and cause overeating. It may be important for... -
It appears to be naturally gluten-free, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.target.com/p/ragu-double-cheddar-cheese-carton-15-5oz/-/A-82428195

Are these the bars? If so, it says they are gluten-free: https://www.target.com/p/haagen-dazs-vanilla-38-almond-ice-cream-bar-3pk/-/A-14941636

Why doesn’t some food say if it gluten freee
Scott Adams replied to Jane07's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There are many foods that are naturally gluten-free which are not labelled gluten-free, and it's up to each individual and their sensitivity level to decide whether or not to include them in their diets. We have a category of articles that include both here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-foods/ -
Coffee confirmations.
Scott Adams replied to RDLiberty's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not aware of any major coffee brands that label their coffee as gluten-free, however, it's one of those naturally gluten-free things that has a very low chance of wheat contamination. -
Technically speaking, in the USA there is a labelling regulation that requires foods to include a warning for the top 8 allergens whenever there is any chance of contamination, for example at a mill, or during the manufacturing process. My guess is that there may be a loophole because psyllium is sold as a supplement, rather than a food, but this requirement...

I had a similar experience recently with curcumin, and bought a package that had a "may contain wheat" on it by accident. Luckily I had a Nima Sensor and was able to test it, and sure enough, it had wheat in it. I was able to find one that was gluten-free, but psyllium can also be contaminated, as you discovered. Many gluten-free companies now incorporate...

Endoscopy
Scott Adams replied to Shireen32's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We've done lots of articles on the capsule endoscopy: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="capsule endoscopy"&quick=1&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy but I'm not sure if it is being widely used to diagnose celiac disease, as it isn't as effective as a traditional endoscopy. You may be able to find a doctor who would... -

It is naturally gluten-free, and if it had any chance of having wheat in it then they would be required by FDA regulations to include "Allergens: Wheat" on the ingredients.
