    This is interesting, and I've heard about toilet technology mentioned in the article that is designed to diagnose cancer and other health issues early.

    If you are super sensitive this doesn't sound safe enough to me. Have you contacted Bob's Red Mill, as they offer gluten-free buckwheat?

    Here is the full research article: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2022.934602/full

    It's good to see ongoing research still being done on gluten-free bread, as some things still have a ways to go. I've never had a great gluten-free croissant, but am still hoping!

    I don't have a specific test to recommend, but this article includes the most common deficiencies, so perhaps ask your doctor to test for those:

    Others have reported this symptom: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=lymph nodes&quick=1 be sure to discuss it with your doctor, and high dose thiamine may help:

    It's better a late diagnosis than to never have one, so now you can go gluten-free, and hopefully stay that way. Due to the fact that your mother has it as well put you at a high risk for it, and here is an article we published on this: Also, this may also be helpful:

    If you go gluten-free and get relief from your symptoms, then you likely have your answer. If they do schedule an endoscopy due to a positive blood test then you could start eating gluten again 2 weeks before that test, but it's also possible that you may have found your answer after going gluten-free, and you may not decide to do an endoscopy.

    From what I've heard nursing facilities are pretty bad at providing gluten-free food to those who need it.

    No time wasted, and keep in mind that there is a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, yet there is no test for this yet. You could still have this, and if so, would need to go gluten-free. So you may want to try a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if it helps with your symptoms.

    So how is that relevant to this article? Perhaps post a new thread in our forum on your Silk experience?

    I’ve always been skeptical of widespread PPI use and making the available without a prescription. they may relieve some symptoms in many cases, but in the long term for, for most people anyway, they will cause more problems than they might solve.

    That makes more sense...yes, the tTg result looks fine. The IGA is done just to check if you are IGA deficient, and you are not.

    This butter substitute does not have gluten ingredients, and is olive oil based: https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960011930.html

    I also had H Pylori at the time of my diagnosis, and it was likely caused by the severe gut damage that I had at that time, although it's not exactly clear which came first, the H Pylori or celiac disease.
  17. Scott Adams
    Yes and no...those without any issues with gluten would likely not score 2.8, so there is still some evidence that your body is mounting an autoimmune response to gluten, but it may not be strong enough at this point to call it celiac disease. Also, were you eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 6-8 weeks before this test? If not, this...

    I think a bigger fear for most celiacs, myself included, is what happens if we end up in a full care facility, where things like food are out of our control?

    I'm not against private donations for such things, however, these are private companies who aren't necessarily going to share their profits with those who donate if the are successful. However, one way to help such companies would be to purchase and hold their stock, as most of these companies are public and their stock is traded on various stock exchanges...

    I think a SIBO test is a good idea, and I also avoid all substitute sugars as I've noticed they all also cause issues. Another thing to consider would be the various gums used on gluten-free products, especially xanthan gum--many people have IBS issues with this: This article may also help you:

    For most people getting tested is the best path to stay on a gluten-free diet, however, if you already know that you can't eat gluten, then going through a gluten challenge may not make sense for you, especially when you consider that the test doesn't work for non-celiac gluten sensitivity. If your celiac disease screened ended up with negative test results...

    You will be within a few hours after the procedure, and be sure to arrange for a ride home.
  23. Scott Adams
    Most of the therapies being developed will not allow a celiac to eat a regular gluten diet, and are geared towards dealing with cross-contamination issues, which is a real problem for most celiacs.
  24. Scott Adams
    I agree with everything @trents said, and only want to mention that the risks of developing many of the associated conditions that may come with undiagnosed celiac disease decrease greatly once you are on a 100% gluten-free diet.
  25. Scott Adams
    This article may be helpful, but I would consider myself a possible celiac if I were you, and, based on your results, your doctor should order an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis: Be sure to keep eating gluten daily for 2 weeks before an endoscopy, if your doctor orders this (which would be the normal next step).
