Gluten intolerance passing mucus
Scott Adams replied to Malc1155's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This symptom would be more typical of celiac disease where you would get flattened villi and sometimes lesions in your intestines, and it's still possible you could have developed celiac disease. It sounds like you may have gotten gluten in your diet during your travels, and symptoms are now returning. I'm not sure of your prior celiac disease testing and... -
I Ate Gluten…What Can I do?
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's probably too late, but this article may be helpful going forward: -
Interesting info, and we recently published our summary:

- celiac disease
- food allergens

Villous atrophy has very few causes, and given his symptoms celiac disease seems very likely. Normally one should get a celiac disease blood panel before an endoscopy, so I'm not sure how your doctor got that backwards, but a blood test would be important before he goes gluten-free (you need to be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test). Make...

Yes, this is a common symptom of undiagnosed celiac disease that usually improves after going on a 100% gluten-free diet for over a year.

I'm no doctor but I do not believe that one big glutening episode would bring about a miscarriage. To flatten your villi enough to measure it you would normally need to eat 2 slices of wheat bread or more daily for at least 2 weeks. Of course all celiacs should avoid this, but a single accident like this should not be enough.

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Wolf brand does not include wheat as an allergen, and as the article mentions their chilis don't contain gluten ingredients and are not labelled "gluten-free." We do list brands here that are labeled "gluten-free" for those who prefer this. -
Since we're discussing vitamin supplements here so much because celiacs often need them, I thought this was interesting: "Scientists discovered that high levels of NR could not only increase someone’s risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer, but also could cause the cancer to metastasize or spread to the brain." https://scitechdaily.com/w...

Smoking
Scott Adams replied to Voltage's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ironically, even though you shouldn't smoke for lots of reasons, there are studies which have shown that there may be a protective effect for those who do smoke tobacco, at least with regard to celiac disease: -
NEW TO CELIAC DISEASE
Scott Adams replied to Slayxbella's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
@dixonpete I would only mention, again, that there is a difference between possibly becoming a silent or asymptomatic celiac vs. being effectively cured (which means that the autoimmune reaction no longer happens again when eating gluten). I recommend that you verify this from time to time via celiac disease blood panel testing, just to make sure, but... -
I mostly agree with your doctor, but do think there may be things you can do. This article may be helpful:

The edit feature is only available for a short time period after a post, and this is due to the many spammers who might post something, then change it after by adding link spam.

Sulfur Metabolism

Welcome @albagaraisa I recommend you start a new thread...this one is from 2008, so it's unlikely that anyone still follows it. -
Odd Test Results

This is an older article, but still accurate for the tests it discusses: -
Follow(ing) is not working properly?

Just look for the blue "Follow" box above the topic, or it may already be red and say "Following" as is the case with me in this topic: -

Very strange, I've asked the other moderators if they are getting notifications and they said they were. -
Any Good Fried Pickle Recipes?
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Maybe you could try stealing this Rice Chex recipe? -
It would be great if you could share her test results with us. It's possible she had: 1) Elevated antibodies, perhaps just below the celiac disease marker level; 2) Non-definitive biopsy results--these results can vary greatly depending on the gastro who takes the samples; 3) Symptoms that went away after going gluten-free, which is another way of confirming...
