    Here is another study showing lower dementia rates in older women who take vitamin D https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/989137

    If you had a positive blood test and bad symptoms that went away on a gluten-free diet this should be confirmation enough. It’s your call if you need an official piece of paper that says celiac disease on it (which could make private health and life insurance more expensive).

    They do make adult diapers called “Depends” I believe. Hopefully once your celiac disease is under control you won’t need them.

    At this point, given all the health issues you are having (many of your symptoms could be related to undiagnosed celiac disease), you may just want to try a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if it helps. If your test results end up positive your doctor may want you to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, which means you'd need to eat gluten daily...

    This is a very controversial topic that you would need to decide for yourself, and here is a category of articles, including research articles on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ In Europe many low gluten products use it, and...

    Proceed with caution here...as many celiacs won't eat in such restaurants:

    Did they take 3-4 samples and examine them under a microscope and give you a Marsh score? This is the normal approach for a celiac disease biopsy. Only your doctors can make the diagnosis, so ask them about this. Also, did they do a blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnostic process? Also, he could still have non-celiac gluten...

    This is definitely possible, and are most posts on this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=withdrawal&search_and_or=and this topic is the most recent on it:

    There have been others who swear that breathing in air in a bakery has made them ill, although not many doctors would agree that what you described could make a celiac sick. I guess consider using a covid-type mask when cooking gluten? At this point I think it's possible, but also consider that you may have gotten contamination in other ways too.

    The ingredients look gluten-free, but of course anything could be cross-contaminated. Also, do you eat a low iodine diet, as iodine in salt, seafood, seaweed, dairy products, etc., may trigger DH flare ups in some people.

    54 weeks is a crazy long wait. You may want to confirm this with your doctor, but you could go gluten-free until ~2 weeks before your endoscopy, and then eat 2 slices of wheat bread daily beforehand. This is the normal protocol for a gluten challenge for the biopsy.

    This listing is very old, but there are two on it:

    Thank you for sharing this, I've always wanted to go there. It is strange that these companies advertised being gluten-free, then had no idea what you were talking about...I wonder how that happened?
  14. Scott Adams
    Thank you for the update, it's great to hear that you're making progress! @knitty kitty may also want to know.
  15. Scott Adams
    For some with DH iodine can also trigger the rash, so you may need to cut back on iodized salt, seafood, and dairy to see if that helps.

    Welcome to the forum @Xsmama! It is pretty common at the time of diagnosis for you to have additional food intolerance issues, and milk/casein is a very common one. I had about 5 other food intolerances when I found out I had celiac disease, but the good news is that most or all may go away after sufficient time on a gluten-free diet. Once your gut...

    We have a category of research articles that we've summarized on this topic in case you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

    For the genetic test eating gluten or not does not matter, for the blood antibody tests for celiac disease it does matter. More info on this is here:

    Welcome to the forum! The first step to diagnose celiac disease would be a blood test, and if you can't afford one done via a doctor there are home test kits available for ~$90: https://www.imaware.health/ For the blood test you'd need to be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks beforehand, and at least 2 week prior to an endoscopy: Last...

    I eat Ortega taco shells regularly had have never had issues. I buy them at Target, and they do say "Gluten-Free" on the box, and no other allergens, including wheat are listed in the ingredients.

    Not everyone focuses on gluten-free skin care products, perhaps only the most sensitive, however, every celiac should focus on everything that is eaten or put in your mouth should likely be gluten-free. Nowadays it can be as easy to find gluten-free skin care products, and we've done articles on this and other topics. Here is where you can sort those...

    Was your gluten-free diet 100% strict, did you eat out in restaurants for example, and did it help at all with your symptoms? It is possible that you could have celiac disease and also have an intolerance to rice.

    We've summarized articles on kidney disease and celiac disease and they are in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/

    Given how many kids have various food allergies, gluten sensitivity, etc., perhaps recommend to the school to stop offering food prizes, and instead offer something else, like a book, pencil, gift card, magazine subscription, etc.
