    My mother used to have major TMJ issues before and after she was diagnosed with celiac disease, but this did improve over time after she went gluten-free.

    I think anyone with celiac disease would be better off picking a beer from this article, and if you are very picky about your beer you may want to go with a gluten-removed option: If you are very sensitive, best to go with the gluten-free with no gluten ingredients option.
  3. Scott Adams
    Let us know how things turn out. It sounds to me like you've already linked your symptoms with gluten consumption, so at the very least you likely are in the non-celiac gluten sensitive category and may need to remain gluten-free even if your test results turn out negative for celiac disease (there is no test yet for NCGS).

    There may be an easier way...at least on a PC. If you right click on any photo and select "copy image," then click within a new post where you want the picture to appear and right click again and select paste. On an iPhone if you hold down your finger on an image for a while it will give you options to do the same.

    Welcome to the forum! It's unfortunate that you have to wait so long for your endoscopy. Yes, technically your GP is correct, and the amount you should eat daily for 2 weeks beforehand should be equal or greater than 2 slices of wheat bread. You could also do this for a longer time just to be certain, but the minimum length of time for this would be...

    The images you shared, especially the one on the far-right, look exactly like the patch of DH I used to get on the back of my thumb.

    If they won't even look at a dietary cause you should change doctors. Clearly he's having symptoms that could be related to things he's eating, thus, they are failing as doctors if they are unwilling to consider this. DH is normally very itchy, so it's possible it may not be DH, but a dermatologist would need to do a proper DH biopsy next to the blisters...

    Sorry but we're not pharmacists here...you'd need to ask your doctor or pharmacist about this.

    Welcome to the forum @Rebecca Clayton. You did not mention the symptoms or issues you are trying to treat, so it is difficult to offer any help. Could you please let us know more about the issues you are trying to deal with? I know that there are lots of grains like teff and sorghum that are gluten-free and are available in Africa, and that some of the...

    Yes, dairy and seafoods can cause DH flareups, and it would be a good idea for him to get tested for celiac disease, but since he's already gluten-free you can't, as he'd need to eat gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before the tests. Can I ask why the doctors are so sure his issues are not diet-related?

    Low ferritin can be a symptom of undiagnosed celiac disease, are you posting the results of her ferritin levels because you suspect celiac disease? If so, she needs to be eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a celiac blood panel is done:

    The labelling laws apply to any product sold in the USA, so this alone would cover all Gatorade products sold here. Also, years ago one of the big support groups did a study on modified food starch--there are only a few giant manufacturers of it here (I believe ADM is one of them), and all of it was made from corn, even though regulations do allow it...
  13. Scott Adams
    But don't trust me (or Celiac.org!), from Gatorade's site: https://endurance.gatorade.com/images/virtual/pdf/faqs.pdf
  14. Scott Adams
    Jen Ryan, you are just wrong about Modified Food Starch in the USA: https://celiac.org/about-the-foundation/featured-news/2016/01/gluten-free-101-need-know/ In the USA they legally need to say "CONTAINS WHEAT" if the modified food starch comes from wheat. Read more here:
  15. Scott Adams
    If we went only by gut reactions to our product lists they would be totally inaccurate. In the USA modified food starch is made from corn and is gluten-free. What about all the sugar, which can trigger SIBO and other issues? Or the other ingredients?
  16. Scott Adams
    I've not heard this before. I can't think of why this would be the case. Where did you hear this?

    According to the RX Bar web site: ”The ingredients we use in our products are inherently gluten-free. Products labeled gluten free have met the FDA requirement that no more than 20 parts per million of gluten is present. They are made in a facility that also produces wheat containing products. We take quality control very seriously and strive t...

    In the USA smoke flavoring is gluten-free, but most bacon is naturally smoked:

    While I agree with the idea of picking a brand that is labelled gluten-free over one that is not, I don't believe that "there is real potential for the other ingredients to contain gluten (especially spices)" in the major brands of pasta sauces. Again, all are required by law to list the 8 major allergens on their labels, including wheat. If wheat were detected...

    We made this update.
  21. Scott Adams
    They should be safe. Any products labelled "gluten-free" in the USA should be safe for celiacs. The only caveat might be a tiny number of newer products that use wheat starch that has been rendered gluten-free, but these products are not in that category.
  22. Scott Adams
    Let us know how that turns out, but not matter the results, it seems like trying out a gluten-free diet, at least for a few months, should be in your future. The time period on test results can vary a lot, so two weeks might be still in the normal range for some doctors/areas. If your diagnosis isn't celiac disease (which I would still lean towards based...

    Good point, we did an article on this a long time ago:
  24. Scott Adams
    I sometimes eat it and have had no reaction. Of course this does not guarantee that it is 100% gluten-free, or that a small batch could not be contaminated. Unfortunately their web site give no additional info (https://www.mondelezinternational.com/Our-Brands/Toblerone), however, in the USA, known allergens, including wheat must legally be disclosed...

    This is where I say that you may still want to consider yourself a possible celiac. I say this because normal people would never score 14.9 on this test. You have the genetic marker for celiac disease, AND, more importantly, you have symptoms of it, including low iron and vitamin D. Were you eating at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for ...
