    It does not say gluten-free on the label, and includes oats which are not marked as gluten-free. Since oats are usually cross-contaminated with wheat you should NOT consider Berry Colossal Crunch to be gluten-free.

    So one of your tTG results was around 10x the celiac disease positive level, and the others are at least 2x, plus you had a positive endoscopy for celiac disease, so yes, it indeed appears you most likely have celiac disease and should be 100% gluten-free. At this point see no reason why any doctor would need to run further tests to confirm this, and this...

    All Pepsi-branded carbonated sodas are considered naturally gluten-free.

    The OP mentioned that she was diagnosed via blood tests and a biopsy, so it was likely a correct diagnosis. Keep in mind that the blood antibody levels in those with celiac disease who still eat gluten can fluctuate over time. What were the recent blood test results? Feel free to share them. A false positive test on your celiac disease blood panel AND biopsies...

    Many studies have been done which show that the health risks associated with asymptomatic celiacs are the same as those who have symptoms, so I would definitely not recommend the approach of "trying to find out what kind of a celiac I am". It's definitely best to avoid all gluten, and if you can't, consider GliadinX (a sponsor here) or other AN-PEP based...

    You may be overthinking this, but perhaps move the cat dish just for piece of mind?

    Keep in mind that most celiacs may have no obvious symptoms, yet their health risks are the same if they continue eating gluten. You may be in this category, but testing would be the only way to be sure, and testing would not eliminate the possibility of non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

    They are still discovering new genetic markers that make people susceptible to celiac disease, most recently a certain DQ6 marker, so I don't think we're there yet with ruling out celiac disease on genetic tests alone.

    Just FYI, at least in California, legally bought vape cartridges cannot contain vitamin E or anything toxic, and they are regularly tested by the state.

    I'd also like to mention, and am not schlepping products here, but from the tons research I've read about GliadinX, which is an AN-PEP based enzyme that has been shown to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines (they are also a sponsor here), I'm not sure why super sensitive celiacs don't use this product on a...

    I think if you take basic precautions when you handle the food, and clean up anywhere it might get spilled, then you should be fine. It also might be important to make sure your pet doesn't take food into other areas of your house, or lick you after eating, etc.

    Here is a search of our site that will give you some more background on this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="withdrawal symptoms"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and

    One of our advertisers here is GlutenDetect, which makes home urine test kits that can tell you if you were exposed to gluten in something you at 4-5 hours earlier.

    Based on your extremely high tTG results alone, most doctors in Europe would now diagnose you with celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy. What that level means is that you probably had severe flattening of the villi which hadn't fully healed, even though you were gluten-free for weeks or a few months before the endoscopy, there was still damage. Another...

    Just to clarify, it sounds like you had blood tests done for celiac disease, and they were positive, is that right? If so, it's not an allergy, but is an autoimmune disease.

    By the way, if staying gluten-free is an issue this article may be helpful:

    Long before the USA had standards for using the term "gluten-free" on product labels, the Codex Alimentarius had standards in Europe, and they were 200ppm for well over a decade. Many products there were made with wheat starch that contained close to 200ppm, and follow up of those on such diets indicated it was a safe level for most of them. 500ppm is still...

    I had different eye issues at the time of my diagnosis that went away for over 20 years. I was near sighted and wore glasses for it when I was diagnosed, but after a few years on a gluten-free diet I no longer needed my glasses, and my vision returned to normal. I presume that various vitamin and mineral deficiencies were causing my eye issues, and once my...

    I think what USA farmers have done to corn may be problematic for lots of people, and especially diabetics. I wonder how some of the more ancient varieties that you can still get in Mexico would compare? It looks totally different: https://www.veramexicana.com/article/corn-ancient-grains/

    So I believe Dr. Osborne is a chiropractor, not an MD, and he makes all sorts of claims about foods that celiacs should not eat, like rice, corn, and other grains. For some people his view might be helpful, but for most celiacs eating those grains will not be an issue.

    Have you tried balsamic or apple cider vinegars?

    Mine isn't, and it is California grown. They don't rotate rice and wheat in the same fields as far as I know.

    It seems strange for the doctor to put you through this, given the health issues that are associated with untreated celiac disease. Given that you've already discovered that your symptoms are associated with gluten, you may want to re-think going through all of this again and further delaying your recovery.
