In many cases this would mean more pesticides. GMO does not mean bad or dangerous, pesticides are usually bad and dangerous.

Do Ritz Crackers Have Gluten?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
We definitely do, and I think the questions we receive (usually via our "Contact Us" form) are from friends or family members of celiacs who will be hosting them and really have no clue about what gluten-free means.- 8 comments

If you are anemic you may feel dizzy. As @trents mentioned, be sure to get screened for nutrient definciencies. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including...

If the GERD was happening before you went gluten-free, the it is very likely related to your celiac disease symptoms, and will likely go away after enough time on a 100% gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful:

EGD Biopsy = Train Wreck!
Scott Adams replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's great to hear that your biopsy was normal. Due to the positive serology and DH test result you still could have issues with gluten, so you might be in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity area--if you have DH this may be the way it manifests in your body, and the DH may not go away if you are not gluten-free. Approximately 10x more people have non... -
Overwhelmed by information
Scott Adams replied to Elliemae7395's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Stress is not good for you so try to find ways, like exercise, hobbies, etc., to deal with it. If you have celiac disease, you are correct, you should try to be 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful: -
Welcome to the forum, and your experience sounds very similar to mine. In my youth I did have vague symptoms like unexplained rashes, but no noticeable gut issues. When I was in college I went on a backpacking trip to Europe with friends and got what I thought was a severe case of food poisoning which took about a week to recover from, although I never fully...

Is Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Yes, as far as I know it's always made from corn, and there are only a few big companies that make it. 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 learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information...- 6 comments

Which type of celiac disease test was this? I ask because the accuracy of a diagnosis can vary some depending on the type of blood test given. Also, it's important to understand the cause of your H. pylori infection. I had H. pylori at the time of my celiac disease diagnosis as well, and in my case the likely cause of H. pylori was the damage done by...

Poison ivy does not fester for years and cause rashes during that time. Poison ivy is a plant that can cause an allergic reaction when the skin comes into contact with the oily resin found in its leaves, stems, and roots. The most common reaction to poison ivy exposure is an itchy rash, which usually develops within 12 to 72 hours after contact. The...

IGA deficiency?
Scott Adams replied to Cloe's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did they do a Total IgA test as well? 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... -
