    This is an interesting study and I've added it to our list of summaries we plan to do. I also was not aware that children are being prescribed PPI's, which I find a bit scary.

    The zinc connection to inflammation interesting, and there is definitely a connection between poor nutrition and Cytokine production.

    I'll share this article, which we plan to update soon:

    Your results look strongly positive for celiac disease, and after your biopsy you'll likely need to go on a gluten-free diet: Please let us know how it turns out!

    Please share your daughter's test results here if possible. I find this middle "suggestive of celiac disease" diagnosis rather odd, but to me it sounds like a positive diagnosis, and she has celiac disease.

    You might try taking a choline supplement, just be sure it is gluten-free. Most people are deficient in choline: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Choline-HealthProfessional/#:~:text=Choline is an essential nutrient,phospholipids vital for cell membranes. If you believe you may have low stomach acid, you could try taking HCL tablets with food for...

    @Grammy9If the ingredients are gluten-free then the medication is likely gluten-free. Medications are not prone to cross contamination in the same way as foods. There is no GF certification for medications.

    Thank you for the update @Chance. Please see if you can get a copy of the blood test results and share them here, including the reference ranges for a positive test. This would be helpful, but it sounds like you tested positive for celiac disease.

    Bloating can be common in untreated celiac disease and/or other food intolerances. If you're already gluten-free and having this issue double check your diet to make sure it is 100% gluten-free, and if so, keep a food diary and try eliminating dairy/casein, and other food types to see if you can figure out the cause. This article may help:

    BTW, just a thought here, but at the time of my diagnosis, likely due to the severe leaky gut issues, I could not tolerate around 5-6 other foods, for example chicken eggs, tomatoes, corn, casein, and a couple of others. It took me a few years to be able to add them back, and I still can only eat chicken eggs once per week. Given how many eggs you are eating...

    Welcome to the forum! It seems like quitting smoking, in your case, was a positive side-effect of having celiac disease. Hopefully you can continue on as a non-smoker. I think you've got a great attitude about this, which is more than half the battle with regard to staying gluten-free, and I had the same attitude after I was diagnosed. I had been...

    It will take time for you to recover from celiac disease, and the average time is 2 years. Your loss of appetite will hopefully improve after going gluten-free, but it could take more time.

    I did not know they had one, and also wonder about their program.
  16. Scott Adams
    Welcome! I also eat out regularly, and when I do I take a couple of GliadinX AN-PEP based enzymes which have been shown in numerous studies to break down gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines (Note that they are also a sponsor here, but this is not why I'm sharing this info). Of course it is best to just not eat out, but for those...

    Note that just because up to 20ppm is allowed before an involuntary product recall could happen, it does not mean that products labelled "gluten-free" regularly contain 5-19ppm. Most likely have zero detected gluten, and if any gluten were detected below 20ppm it should be cause for concern, and most companies would try to find out where the gluten came from...
  18. Scott Adams
    I've not had them before, but please let us know what they share with you.

    We published a Mayo Clinic a few months back that indicated that up to 44% of first degree relatives could also have celiac disease. I've seen different lower ranges on other studies though.

    I doubt you would need to worry about this, as I assume that the floor was not covered with wheat flour or gluten. Wiping the headset off should work to mitigate any possible issues with contamination.
  21. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum. To confirm a celiac disease diagnosis the next step after a positive blood panel would be an endoscopy, rather than a colonoscopy...are you sure the test scheduled is a colonoscopy? I can't speak to how much pain you are in, but I can say that over the 25+ years this site has been around it is very unusual for someone newly...

    If wheat is included then it must say so on the ingredient label. I've not seen wheat used as described in the comments, at least not in the USA.

    In general it's best to avoid contact with gluten, you didn't mention whether you ate off of this contaminated tray, or simply touched it. Most celiacs can touch gluten without issues, however, it's best to wash your hands afterwards. Obviously a celiac would want to avoid eating off of contaminated dishes, utensils, pots, pans, trays, etc.

    Some of the articles we've summarized here over the years have included info on the spleen-celiac disease connection: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=spleen&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and
  25. Scott Adams
    Had the tray been washed before this happened? Did it have gluten foods on it when this happened? It's unclear what the scenario was, so it is hard for us to comment about it.
