@fritz2, in the USA it is extremely rare for maltodextrin to contain wheat, although technically, according to the FDA, it can. Various celiac support groups over the last few decades have contacted the 3-4 biggest USA manufacturers of it to discover that corn is almost always used, rather than wheat. The sugar in the vitamin water, however, may have contributed...

Thanks for this update, and it is scary that drug manufacturing is being outsourced to India, a country that is notorious for having very little, or extremely relaxed business regulations.

NCGS Diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to PA Painter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just so you know GliadinX is not supposed to be used in place of a gluten-free diet, and may only be able to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. Small amounts might mean some wheat bread crumbs on your scrambled eggs at a restaurant. I'm not sure how your taking it, but I can say that I used to get glutened ~30% of the time when eating out... -
No everyone with DH has issues with iodine, but some do, so it's good to be aware of this just in case you fall into that group.

@Parkrunner Your journey with undiagnosed celiac disease highlights how easily this condition can be overlooked, especially when symptoms are mild or mistaken for other issues. It’s frustrating that it took decades—and serious complications like osteoporosis—before getting answers, but it’s inspiring to hear how much your health has improved since going g...

Previous Biopsy Results
Scott Adams replied to Katya773's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Your situation is incredibly frustrating and emotionally draining, especially with the conflicting biopsy results, unclear diagnosis, and the added stress of personal losses. Given your DQ2.5 homozygous status, family history of celiac, and past biopsy findings (damaged villi, ulcers, lymphangiectasia), the evidence strongly suggests celiac disease—despite t... -

NCGS Diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to PA Painter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It sounds like you're dealing with a severe non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) that significantly impacts your neurological and musculoskeletal systems, despite testing negative for celiac disease. Your sensitivity is so pronounced that even trace amounts of wheat trigger debilitating symptoms, including nerve pain, cognitive issues, and inflammation. Adopting... -
Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Did you look up your meds on the government website I shared? It should list all additives.
-
You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

Sweet Baby Ray's Bbq Sauce
Scott Adams replied to cmbajb's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
That BBQ sauce is labeled "gluten-free," is it possible you got gluten somewhere else, or have an additional sensitivity? https://www.sweetbabyrays.com/sauces/bbq-sauces/original-barbecue-sauce -
I believe it is also commonly used in pre-grated parmesan cheeses, like Kraft's.

Is Chipotle Gluten-Free? A Celiac's Guide to Safe Dining
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
You're absolutely right to stand firm on this issue. The idea that introducing small amounts of gluten could "cure" celiac disease is completely false and dangerous. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, not a food intolerance, and even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger damage to the small intestine. Research has shown that exposure to gluten, even...- 12 comments

Yes, in the mid-20th century, including the 1950s, some doctors and researchers referred to celiac disease as a condition primarily affecting people of European, particularly Northern European, descent. The term "Anglo-Saxon disease" was sometimes used in medical literature and discussions to describe celiac disease, based on the observation that it appeared...

Is Chipotle Gluten-Free? A Celiac's Guide to Safe Dining
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Great idea! The only issue I see with the approach is that way back in the days when "celiac disease" was almost unknown to restauranteurs, people with celiac disease used to order claiming they had a "gluten allergy," and some restaurants would not serve them because they said their food could be contaminated. Since you've had no issues ordering like this... -

Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis
Scott Adams replied to CarolTN's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Seborrheic dermatitis can definitely be frustrating, especially when it causes itching and redness. You’re not alone—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity also struggle with skin and scalp conditions, and some find that gluten exposure worsens inflammation. Have you noticed any connection between your diet and flare-ups? Some folks see imp... -
