Pepsid alternative

It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!! -
Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s a...

It’s scary how hidden gluten can be—even in non-food products like hair care! Your experience is a great reminder that topical products with gluten can cause systemic reactions in some people with celiac disease, especially if they’re accidentally ingested (like when shampoo runs down your face). While not everyone reacts to external exposure, your sympt...

It’s possible—though not extremely common—to develop a wheat allergy in addition to celiac disease. While celiac is an autoimmune reaction to gluten, a wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated response to wheat proteins, which can cause allergic symptoms like hives, swelling, or even anaphylaxis. Your recent anaphylactic reaction strongly suggests a true wheat aller...

Congratulations on the new qualification as a Nutrition Coach. Can you tell me if this is the same qualification as a registered dietitian?

It sounds like you’re being incredibly diligent with your gluten-free routine, and I understand how stressful it can be—especially when you’re asymptomatic and have no clear way to confirm exposure. The uncertainty is tough to manage, but you’re doing the right thing by being cautious. Your concern about cross-contamination from the fridge handle or chee...

Celiac.com 06/26/2025 - For individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, a gluten-free lifestyle requires constant vigilance—reading labels, avoiding cross-contact, and even cleaning shared kitchen equipment. But one p... -
Not many!

I’m so sorry to hear about your toddler’s recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and I understand how overwhelming it must feel to now be navigating possible celiac disease as well. The slightly elevated TTG antibodies (22 ku/L) with normal endomysial antibodies could indicate a few things—sometimes, mild elevations can occur due to factors other than celiac disea...

Many people with celiac disease don't have any obvious symptoms, but still face the same health risks if left untreated. Symptoms of gluten exposure can vary greatly from person to person.

Unfortunately that scenario wasn't covered by this study, so you'll have to proceed with caution in that case.

Gluten free thyroid medications

The pharmaceutical industry (including BIG PHARMA! 😉) is very good about cleaning procedures before different drugs might be made using the same machinery. I don't believe cross contamination would be something to worry about, otherwise people with serious allergies, for example to antibiotics, would have serious issues with prescriptions drugs. -
Celiac.com 06/24/2025 - For people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the consequences of eating gluten go far beyond digestive discomfort. One of the most confusing and frustrating experiences for many is the cognitive... -

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance...

It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign tha...

It’s great that you were finally able to see a gastroenterologist—and even luckier to get in the same day as your referral! It sounds like your GI is taking a very thorough approach, which is reassuring given your complex symptoms and history. The confusion around your different tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody results is understandable. The variation bet...

Gluten free thyroid medications
Scott Adams replied to KimMS's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't believe that site is updated regularly, and it may be unreliable. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication... -
Celiac.com 06/20/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For people with this condition, the only effective treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet... -
I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
