  1. 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 out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...
  2. A look at the ingredients on their web site does look like they don’t contain any gluten ingredients. Is it possible you are reacting to the carrageenan and/or guar gum, as this can cause IBS symptoms in some people: https://www.trumoo.com
  3. Celiac.com 07/08/2023 - France is known for its delicious cuisine, from croissants to crème brûlée. However, for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, traveling to France may seem like a daunting task. But fear not, with pr...
  4. Yes, very similar to celiac disease for some people.
  5. Have you ever tried a gluten-free diet for a few months? ~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.
  6. It looks like that is the test, but to be sure ask your doctor. The next step for you will likely be a follow up endoscopy/biopsy. Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all of your tests are completed (2 slices of wheat bread's worth for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
  7. Unless your appointment for an endoscopy is months out, you should continue eating gluten until all testing is completed. If it is months out you could go gluten-free now, but at least two weeks before you should be eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day before it.
  8. I think you mean the DGP-IgA test. Please see this article:
  9. Normally the antibody levels are proportional to the villi damage, but apparent this is not always the case. It must vary somewhat from person to person.
  10. As the article mentions, some brands listed here are naturally gluten-free, and do not contain required allergen warnings for wheat, which are legally required if there is any chance of contamination with wheat. There are no gluten ingredients or allergen warnings for the Prego Alfredo sauces listed, but they also do not put "gluten-free" on their labels...

  12. This article may be helpful:
  13. I must admit that during the time of my diagnosis I was so relieved to have found out that I had celiac disease, and was just so amazed to begin feeling better again that I didn't really worry about other conditions, even though my father had Type 1 diabetes. The good news regarding celiac disease is that once you are diagnosed and have successfully...
  14. It is up to you whether you wish to include naturally gluten-free products. In the USA manufacturers must list the top 8 allergens, including wheat, if there is any chance that the product contains them, so they would have to say: "Allergens: Wheat" on their ingredient label if there were any risk of contamination. This category has many articles about...
  15. Loss of appetite is a fairly common symptom of celiac disease, and in some people this can lead to anoresia nervosa:
  16. If the package says: "Allergens: Wheat" definitely avoid those products.
  17. Your endoscopy results might indicate that your diet is not 100% gluten-free. Do you eat in restaurants? This is the most common source of gluten contamination.
  18. I haven't tried their products, but according to the GFFP's site: so the products are likely safe for celiacs.
  19. Since it is manufactured in a laboratory-type environment it is doubtful that pure xanthan gum would contain any gluten. I've not heard of a gluten-free certified variety, and I believe there are only a couple of manufacturers of it in the USA.
  20. Many members have reported similar episodes, and it can sometimes be hard to track down the root cause, especially if you are living in a non-gluten-free household. I recommend that you keep a food diary so you can look back whenever this happens. It's also possible that you have additional food intolerance issues, for example to oats or dairy/casein...
  21. I've not had their oats because I don't include oats in my diet, however, I just want to mention that around 9% of celiacs also cannot tolerate oats, not matter what variety they are.
  22. These two articles might be helpful:
