    If you were just diagnosed with celiac disease, which isn't 100% clear from your post, it will take much longer than 1.5 weeks for your symptoms to go away, and for you to recover.

    Your fatty liver could also be a result of undiagnosed celiac disease, and if so, could normalize on a gluten-free diet:

    In Europe they routinely diagnose celiac disease without biopsy at 10x over a positive TtG level, but I agree with @trents and think you just have him go gluten-free, but be sure to discuss this with your doctor. The problem with a biopsy at that age is that it may be negative, and then you'll still not be sure about his diagnosis.

    Also, tryptophan also helps heal the gut, but again, as with all supplements and medications, only buy ones that say "gluten-free" on the label.

    Definitely switch to a gluten-free beer, and if you have DH you should probably even pick one that is made with gluten-free ingredients and excludes barley:

    Yes, spices like curry powder, which is a blend of spices, can include wheat. I've actually tested curry I've purchased with a Nima Sensor and received positive results, so now I only by curry that is labelled gluten-free.

    If you have DH excluding fast food like Taco Bell is probably a necessity...just sayin'! 😉

    I would also like to mention that eating lots of sugar can trigger or contribute to a poor gut bacteria balance, so cutting back on your sugar intake would likely also be a good idea, not to mention it would also decrease your diabetes risk.

    We did summarize this study years ago, which indicates that a majority of the blood of those with celiac disease show no reaction at all to barley or even regular beer, and only 6.4% of blood from celiacs reacted to the gluten-removed beer. Of course, testing the blood of people for various reactions in a test tube is quite different than what actually happens...

    welcome to the forum! Please have a look at this recent thread, on the same topic:

    I've not heard that Imodium would alter biopsy results, so I believe it would be fine, however, check in with your doctor to be sure. The amount of gluten you should eat daily should be at least 2 slices of wheat bread worth, and it doesn't matter the form, any type of gluten will work.
  12. Scott Adams
    It's possible, but this would not be a typical location for DH, and I don't see the clear, tiny blisters. Of course I'm not a doctor or dermatologist, so you should send the images to your doctor if you can.

    This is definitely interesting, and another reason why people should supplement with Vitamin D, especially if you take certain meds.
  14. Scott Adams
    Best to tag @trents if you want him to see this.
  15. Scott Adams
    As long as the spices are gluten-free, of course!

    I think you are using pellagra, which is caused by nutrient deficiencies, very broadly here, as many other diseases can also cause nutrient deficiencies, like celiac disease. I think it's more likely that some cases pellagra are caused by undiagnosed celiac disease.

    So there is a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, and unfortunately there isn't a test for it. You may want to try a gluten-free diet for a couple of months to see if it helps with your symptoms.
  18. Scott Adams
    As the article mentions, autolyzed yeast extract could contain trace amount of gluten if it is made from barley, however, since the Ore Ida product was labelled gluten-free I doubt this would be the case.
  19. Scott Adams
    They said they batch test every single batch...why isn't that credible? I can only assume they are looking forward to a certification at some point, which is likely whey they are going to the trouble of batch testing.
  20. Scott Adams
    Perhaps you are sensitive to another ingredient, for example MSG? Autolyzed yeast is typically a form of MSG, and is usually gluten-free. In this case it would be gluten-free since they have "gluten-free" on the label.
  21. Scott Adams
    It might be safer to change, however, normally skin contact with gluten won't affect most celiacs, but may affect those with DH or those who are super sensitive.
  22. Scott Adams
    Has your brother been tested for celiac disease, as up to 44% of 1st degree relatives also have it?
  23. Scott Adams
    This is always a tough question, and there is no easy answer. On one hand you don't want those who are not on gluten-free diets to be forced to also make huge lifestyle changes, but on the other hand you also don't want to get sick. I happen to co-exist in a mixed gluten/gluten-free household, and the only way I'm able to do this is because my wife has excellent...
  24. Scott Adams
    Thank you @Katerific, and this is what I've heard in past posts in our forum. As far as I know there are no regulations that require nursing homes to cater to special diets, but there should be.
  25. Scott Adams
    The company itself is testing for gluten in "every single batch of finished product," which is exactly what certified gluten-free companies must do. Your claim that this products isn't gluten-free must be supported by evidence, not conjecture or plain assumptions.
