  1. Some people are sensitive to xanthan gum or other gums used in gluten-free breads, so perhaps this could be the issue?
  2. I can't really imagine a reason to include gluten or even wheat germ oil in perfume, but again, I'm no perfume expert and I will say that the endless ways that industry has found to use gluten in various things never ceases to amaze me. Overall I think the risk here would be very low, and even if there were traces of gluten it would not affect the vast majority...
  3. I am not sure whether or not any perfume has gluten in it, but I suppose it is possible. Where did you hear that there could be gluten in perfume?
  4. It should be safe to take daily, and just to be sure I have included the founder here @docaz to see if he'd like to add to this.
  5. I agree, if you have a choice go with a supplement that does not contain any wheat derivatives, even if they are technically gluten-free.
  6. Better late than never, let us know how it goes. There are also home test kits you can order online, for example https://imaware.health
  7. I agree, and now might be the perfect time for you to be retested if you've been eating gluten daily for the last 6-8 weeks. The symptoms you mention could certainly be related to untreated celiac disease and/or NCGS.
  8. Avoid sucralose! https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/992667?src=FYE
  9. This article may be helpful regarding the blood tests:
  10. Three months for the results seems like a very long time. Oh well, you may be able to try out a gluten-free diet for a few month, but if they should want you to undergo more tests for celiac disease you would need to start eating it again 6-8 weeks before any blood tests.
  11. This article may be helpful, along with the comments for the article:
  12. In the USA they say "gluten-free" on the can: https://www.target.com/p/lay-s-stax-sour-cream-onion-potato-chips-5-5oz/-/A-14723285
  13. I've not heard of any, but you could likely bake your own that would fit the bill...
  14. This company seems to make one: https://nonothing.us/products/no-nothing-very-sensitive-moisture-shampoo?variant=6839178461248
  15. There are differing viewpoints on this topic, but most celiacs agree that wooden items and cutting boards should probably be replaced. It's doubtful that metal, glass, iron, plastic, etc., could not be cleaned sufficiently to eliminate gluten.
  16. Good to hear that you found an answer to your issues!
  17. You have two positive blood tests, and the gene that makes it possible for you to develop celiac disease. You didn't mention whether or not you have symptoms of celiac disease, and if so you could try a gluten-free diet for a few months, and if the symptoms go away it's very likely that you actually have it. To get a biopsy you would need to eat a couple...
  18. My journey took what seemed like forever, and it's summarized here:
  19. Given your symptoms and positive biopsy results you are very likely to have celiac disease. If your symptoms go away after a few weeks gluten-free it would confirm this.
  20. You haven’t mentioned how you’ve used it, how many capsules you took, etc. More details about that might reveal something that could be helpful to you and others. Can you describe your experience when It didn’t work for you? How much you took, when you took them (hopefully just before eating or with the meal) is helpful info.
  21. This article is a bit older, but still valid:
  22. Keep writing! You can shape this story more later, but it's a good story so far.
  23. I would like to mention that if the practice of using wheat flour as an "organic pesticide" were common, there would definitely be information about it on the internet. Why would those interested in such an environmentally friendly practice which might reduce pesticide usage not want to share such information on the internet so that others could do the same...
  24. If your test is 7.5 times higher than the cut off, then it would be very high, but again, the accuracy of this test is questionable. It should lead you to getting more tests, and proper blood panel for celiac disease that includes tTG tests as well as total IGA.
