    One thing to consider, once it's on your chart you can't take it off, and you may pay higher private health and/or life premiums for life.

    That is pretty impressive looking gluten-free bread! The way it bubbles, the look is an exact match to a typical USA wheat bread. I've never done this bread before, but it was developed by a scientist who has written many articles on Celiac.com...take a look at the comments too:

    It looks great! I will try this. This old recipe is also pretty good:

    It's hard to comment on this without more information, but in general, airborne gluten is not going to affect most celiacs, but can affect some who are more sensitive. A vacuum sucks things into a bag, so I don't really see how this could be an issue. I assume you were not inside a bakery, or somewhere covered in wheat flour.

    This is definitely interesting...and we did a summary of it too:

    Unfortunately it's the only way that is currently used by doctors. I've heard of research on other ways, but nothing that is available at this point. Since it's very clear that your issues are caused by gluten, why is a formal diagnosis so important? It seems like you already have your answer, and your genetic test results indicate that you could have...

    I haven't tried this, but was considering also doing this as well, however, I need to avoid foods high in iron, so I ruled this out. All my research shows that these should be gluten-free and safe for celiacs.

    For McDonald's in the USA they don't directly market their products as gluten-free because their beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat, this is wheat with the gluten removed. Until recently such an ingredient was not allowed to be labelled "gluten-free" under USA laws, but this changed a couple of years ago, so the USA is now more in line with European labelling...

    I disagree about Honey Nut Cheerios not being gluten-free, because they are, but around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate oats, so you may also want to exclude all oats for a while to see if you might be in that group.

    Here are some summaries of older research that has been done on this topic:

    I agree with @trents and it looks very likely that you have celiac disease. Here is more info on the blood tests:

    That test does have a higher false positive rate, and it's too bad they did not do a full celiac blood panel that includes DPG and tTG tests. I would ask for those tests and she would need to keep eating gluten until all tests are done. At this point it looks like she may be have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the only way to rule out celiac disease would...

    Here are the ingredients to Eucerin Advanced Hydration SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray, and it does contain tocopherol, but they also are advertising it as "hypoallergenic," so it is likely not wheat or soy derived, as both of those are in the top 8 allergens. The only way to be certain would be to contact the company. https://www.amazon.com/Eucerin-Advanced...

    Hydrolyzed Wheat has the gluten removed, their fries have never tested above 20ppm.

    I've been eating them for years without any issues...my daughter as well.

    For the purposes of our articles and site info, we defer to the source over any other site. I've never heard of that web site, but they offer nothing to back up their claim, where I am offering a link to McDonald's web site where they say that their fries do not contain any gluten ingredients:

    Children's villi recover very quickly, and over the many years here we've seen plenty of kids get negative biopsy results who had positive blood tests. In the end a gluten-free diet helped with their issues, even though an official diagnosis could not be made. You may want to proceed with the biopsy, but I would still try out a gluten-free diet for a few...

    Eucerin does not offer a spray version, which was the focus of this thread. So far I can't find one with any gluten ingredients, but if anyone finds one please post a link to it. Dr. Bullard is worried about benzine and not gluten, according to that article, but I think the OP is just wanting to know if their child will get gluten being around others...

    More information about "New Mexico Settles Lawsuit for $200K in Wrongful Death of Prisoner with Celiac Disease"

    Better stock up before they are gone! I wish they had something like that here in the USA!

    We are not making a gluten-free claim on McDonald's behalf in this article--they make it on their website: https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/help/faq/which-of-your-products-are-gluten-free.html

    I saw your other post and I think you mean that his tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) blood test for celiac disease was 92.5, but they also do a total IGA test for reference, but I think you mean his tTG-IgA results were high. If your son does have celiac disease I think the best support for him would be to fully understand the gluten-free diet...
  23. Scott Adams
    The blood test result you mentioned looks like a very high positive result for celiac disease to me, and the next step is normally an endoscopy, but given his age I would also not be very keen to have this procedure done, especially if he has symptoms that go away on a gluten-free diet.
  24. Scott Adams
    I'm not sure how much gluten you were eating before this earlier test was done, but it's true that each of the results in this older blood screening appear to be negative results. I would only add that one of these test results in nearly in the positive range, which still supports the idea that you are having an autoimmune reaction to gluten.
  25. Scott Adams
    This is a good question, and I took a look a some of the more popular ones on Amazon, where you can view the cans and read the active and inactive ingredients, and I didn't see any with any gluten ingredients. I doubt that gluten ingredients would be used in them simply because they would likely plug up the spay nozzle pretty quickly, but I didn't review...
