    Interesting links, thank you!

    It looks like it is likely gluten-free, although it does not say this on its label: https://www.polysporin.ca/products/complete-antibiotic-ointment

    It's hard to tell, but it looks like your tTG result was negative, which was the test for celiac disease, and the part of your results that is unclear to me would be the IGA results. If this was total IGA, which is high, this simply means that your tTG test was accurate, as IGA deficient people can have false-negative results on that test. If the second test...

    I agree, and a lot of damage can be done to your villi in 7 weeks, so it could take months for you to recover. The bloating symptoms you describe to see pretty standard for many who are just recovering from long term gluten exposure.

    In 1994, so it's been a while!

    I always just use pure balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and make my own salad dressing.

    I agree, it looks like they did not take samples in the small bowel for celiac disease. This is rather strange if they told you they were looking to see if you had celiac disease. Since your blood test results are such a high positive, you will need to decide whether to do another endoscopy, and this article may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com...

    I can help solve at least one of your issues...Costco sells excellent millet-buckwheat ramen noodles at a good price: https://www.costco.com/lotus-foods-organic-millet-%26-brown-rice-ramen%2C-2.5-oz%2C-12-count.product.100485555.html

    I recently ran out of my daily magnesium supplement and was lazy in getting another bottle for a few days, only to find that my leg cramps and charley horses came back. I am surprised how soon that happened.

    @trents is correct and the oats you mentioned are gluten-free, but still contain avenin oat protein, which some celiacs cannot tolerate.
  11. Scott Adams
    It's not available and in clinical trials I believe.
  12. Scott Adams
    Around 10% of celiacs also have issues with avenin, the protein in oats, and this is considered a separate intolerance. If you eat oats, be sure they are gluten-free, but if you have issues with them best to avoid all oats.

    Allowing PPI's to be over the counter medicines in the USA is, in my opinion, a total disaster!
  14. Scott Adams
    I would follow your doctor's recommendations about further tests.

    The ingredients listed are all gluten-free, however, this does not mean that they could not be cross-contaminated. Spices, including curry powder, as well as other ingredients, can be cross-contaminated. It's usually best to look for "Gluten-Free" on the ingredient label if possible.

    Some people who are gluten sensitive get constipated, and some have diarrhea. In your case it is possible that it caused constipation, and now your gut is healing, and you're getting less constipated.

    There is research on this, but I don't have the specific links to it at the moment, sorry. I believe it would be a permanent issue, unfortunately. I think you'd need to avoid it mostly, but you do need a certain amount in your diet or you could get thyroid issues.

    Be careful because even gnocchi pasta usually includes wheat flour (sometimes called semolina in Italy). Be sure it is gluten-free, and there are gluten-free versions of it out there.
  19. Scott Adams
    In the USA they would need to list wheat if it were a possible allergen, and it would appear at the end of the ingredients like this: Allergens: Wheat, Milk, Shellfish, etc.
  20. Scott Adams
    There is a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity and there is not yet a test for it, but even if you test negative for celiac disease you may still have NCGS and need to go gluten-free.
  21. Scott Adams
    You normally should keep eating gluten daily until all tests for celiac disease are completed.
  22. Scott Adams
    Insurance will usually pay for the test if your doctor requests it for you.
  23. Scott Adams
    This is a common celiac disease symptom, are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out?
  24. Scott Adams
    I have not heard of this before, and it makes me wonder if you got covid-19? This would explain your taste change, and many people with covid don't get symptoms beyond taste and smell changes.
  25. Scott Adams
    Do you know what type of grass it was? It seems like it would be more of an allergic reaction than related to celiac disease.
