    I think my signature block says who I am, but so far you did not answer my question regarding your claim here: This is not the place to scare people from taking medications made by Pfizer or any other company, and if you make such a claim please provide a link to support it. I've provided a link in this thread to a USA Government web site that maintains...

    In your case the easiest way to find out how long it would take would be to contact your doctor and ask. Please let us know what you find out.

    According to their site: https://www.postconsumerbrands.com/faq/#which-post-cereals-and-products-are-gluten-free

    As the article mentions, normally you would not go on a gluten-free diet until AFTER all tests for celiac disease have bee completed, otherwise the tests may yield false negative results.

    tTG tests are very specific for celiac disease, and I doubt your levels would be high due to anything else other than either non-celiac gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Did they say how long it will take before you get an endoscopy? Normally you need to be eating around 2 slices of wheat bread daily before an endoscopy.

    McCormick's makes gluten-free spices, and pure herbs are fine, but you should be able to order gluten-free herbs online via Amazon.com.

    Paxlovid would only be prescribed in high risk groups in those with covid, and if so, it would be best to take it, as the negative risks associated with a bad case would far outweigh that of a celiac reaction. Again, all medicines are made in FDA inspected and licensed facilities, so cross contamination is very unlikely. I don't trust info on that site...

    I could not find anything specific on this, but if it is labelled gluten-free, it should be safe for those with celiac disease.

    Feel free to share your test results along with the reference range for a positive. You've found the right place for help, and this article should be helpful. Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free:

    There are a huge range of symptoms:

    Certainly all of the symptoms you've described in you and your family could be associated with untreated celiac disease. In your case you've apparently had negative tests for it, yet many of your symptoms went away on a gluten-free diet. It's likely that at the least you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, for which there are not current tests (around 10...

    This can very a lot depending on the country, or state within a country, the health plan you have, etc. It seems like in Europe it can take a few months, where most people in the USA have to wait a few weeks, but sometimes longer.

    One of our sponsors here is Little Northern Bakehouse, and they have an excellent line of gluten-free baked products:

    Yes, it will be a difficult adjustment. We do have vegetarians here. This article may be helpful to you:

    Normally in a celiac blood panel several tests are done, and this article helps explain them:

    If this is the bar, their site says they are gluten-free: https://camino.ca/products/chocolate-bars/all-our-chocolate-bars/salted-caramel-crunch

    If someone spilled some wheat flour where the towel fell, it is possible, however, skin contact with gluten will not affect most celiacs. It's possible that very sensitive celiacs, and those with dermatitis herpetiformis might have an issue with skin contact.
  19. Scott Adams
    Since you have a positive blood test for celiac disease (I believe), you could still have it, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which around 10% of people have but there are not tests yet for it. I would try out a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if any of your symptoms go away, and if so, perhaps just stay gluten-free.

    This is the correct list of inactive ingredients, and none of them contain gluten. Where did you hear this info about Pfizer?

    I doubt fish evolved to eat gluten, so this makes sense. Just be sure to watch for any signs of infection because my uncle caught a severe infection when working on his outside fish pond. Your symptoms may be due to gluten exposure, but it's also possible it could be something else.
  22. Scott Adams
    NCGS is possible too, but the normal step after the positive blood test would have been to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and since they advised you to go gluten-free without that test you will likely never know, unless you want to go through a gluten challenge to find out. Whether it is NCGS or celiac disease, the outcome would be the same and...

    You are misunderstanding how the 20ppm is calculated, which is from the total weight of the item, not testing a single "granule" of gluten that might be in something. The 20 parts per million (ppm) limit for gluten in gluten-free food labeling in the United States is based on the weight of the food product. This means that for a product to be considered...

    So the manufacturer is only doing a CYA by not guaranteeing that Paxlovid isn't gluten-free, but it is: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=7bdddfba-bd31-44cb-ba9e-23a4e17a4691 It is highly unlikely that there would be any cross-contamination in an FDA inspected drug manufacturing facility. I suspect your reaction was...
