    We have tons of gluten-free recipes in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/

    I also eat out, but have adopted using AN-PEP enzymes like those in GliadinX (a sponsor here) just in case there may be some gluten contamination. If you eat our regularly, this is the likely cause for your elevated tTg levels.

    It's definitely possible that small amounts of contamination could happen to soy beans, but after processing them into oil it's doubtful that the oil would test positive for any gluten. I don't think gluten in vape is anything that celiacs need to worry about, but just like anything else, buying higher quality products from reputable companies should offer...

    Most members here have reported sweating as a symptom if they get gluten in their diets, do you think your diet is 100% gluten-free? Also, over that period summer temperatures have been steadily increasing, and the last 2 summer have been the hottest recorded summers on Earth, so you may be sweating more because it's hotter.

    It's part of healing, but it does seem like a long time to still have effects from a single incident. Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? Also, if your doctor doesn't get celiac disease it might be time to switch doctors. I had to do that several years ago because my former doctor essentially rolled his eyes and said "I see you've been searching...

    As @trents mentioned, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If you test negative for celiac you can still go gluten-free and if your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

    Welcome to the forum. Do you have access to your original blood tests? If so, it would be very helpful if you could share those results here. I would have to assume that you had a positive blood test result for celiac disease 6 months ago, which triggered the scheduled endoscopy. Why they would want you to do another blood tests seems odd, but perhaps...

    Sorry but we do not have an app. You should be able to access Celiac.com on any web browser at www.celiac.com.

    Others on this forum have reported nightmares when they eat gluten, as you can see by this search: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=nightmares&search_and_or=and

    I would like to mention that a 5x elevated tTg IgA test result strongly indicates celiac disease, and if you were IgA deficient your result would likely have been much higher. In other words, being IgA deficient on this test would lead to lower scores, not higher ones, and might cause false negative results, but would never cause false positive results. This...

    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...

    Welcome to the forum, and many people succumb to peer pressure, especially during their high school and college years. Both of my kids (17 and 22) are gluten-free, but both have struggled with staying gluten-free due to wanting to fit in, or not wanting to stand out and bring attention to themselves. I’m sorry to hear of your health issues caused b...

    Could you share that phone number with us? Thanks for the info!

    Let us know how things go for you.

    Here is more info about yeast extract, and yeast extract may contain trace amounts of gluten that generally won't make a product test gluten-free, however, out of abundance of caution we've removed Bertolli from this listing.

    In case your biopsy is normal or inconclusive, 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.

    Let us know how things go, and good luck!

    As long as it's gluten-free you should be good to go!

    I think you mean unbleached wheat flour, and yes, you can substitute several crackers per day, but to be sure you may want to do ~10 crackers per day for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy. You can confirm this with your doctor to be sure, but it should not make any difference, and it is strange that you would react differently to wheat crackers than to...

    This is strange indeed...and have you been eating around 2 slices of wheat bread's worth of gluten for the last 6 weeks? If you've cut back on gluten, or have gone gluten-free, the blood test results may end up false negative. Normally the diagnosis goes one direction: blood tests > if positive endoscopy > if positive diagnosis. I would ask them why...

    You may want to call them to see if there is any chance that gluten could be in their products, but the chocolate milk ingredients look naturally gluten-free, and I wonder if you might have issues with carrageenan, sugar, or even dairy?:
