    Welcome to the forum, and the thread you replied to is 5 years old, so you may not get responses from the original posters. I'm not sure what you mean by the above statement about alcohol content and COVID, could you clarify? It seems you have some sort of alcohol intolerance, but you would need to explain this more clearly, as I'm not sure that...

    Is there any chance you're still getting trace amounts of gluten in your diet...perhaps if you eat outside your home?

    If you have been eating gluten daily you could also order an online blood test from https://imaware.health I think you know that many of your symptoms, including possibly your Hashimoto's thyroiditis, could diminish greatly on a gluten-free diet, but it would be best to do any testing for celiac disease before you go gluten-free. If you do have celiac...

    If you eat at restaurants it is likely you're still getting regular trace amounts of gluten, and if so, this can definitely cause "brain fog" symptoms.

    This is interesting and just goes to show you that viral infections can have many different side effects in different individuals. Some here have posted that they believe that a vaccine or infection may have triggered their celiac disease, and there is research that has linked the onset of celiac disease with certain infections, but not many have posted the...

    Yes, this is definitely a possibility. I was going to mention that you should likely be taking a good probiotic, but it sounds like you have that covered. It might make sense to also keep a food diary for a while to see if certain foods might be triggering your symptoms.

    I don't believe that you would need to consult with your doctor, unless you have issues, like me, where you can't take iron. To be safe you could go with Centrum with no iron, or One A Day no iron, but either should be a good choice.

    There are experts at the Mayo Clinic in MN, and at the U. Chicago: http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/ Since it runs in your family, and you seem to already know that you have issues with gluten and may have celiac disease, can I ask why it is so important for you to get an official diagnosis? To get this you will need to eat at least 2 slices of...

    Welcome to the forum! I could not tell from your post exactly when you started a 100% gluten-free diet, vs. when you discovered your additional food intolerance issues, but yes, in undiagnosed celiacs such additional food sensitivities are common, and in my case I had ~7 foods I could not eat at the time I was diagnosed. After diagnosis and treatment...

    Is your diet 100% gluten-free? If you eat at restaurants this may not be the case. This article may be helpful:

    It's of course possible that a batch was contaminated, but is it possible you could be reacting to another ingredient as @trents mentioned?
  14. Scott Adams
    There is a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, however, there currently isn't a test for this--it was only recently revealed to be an actual condition. If your tests end up negative, it might be worth trying the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if you get symptom relief.
  15. Scott Adams
    It certainly could be celiac disease, especially if you have DH, which is the skin form of the disease. Did you get an official diagnosis by a dermatologist for DH after a skin biopsy? If so, then yes, you likely will need to go gluten-free after all testing is done. Do you have all of your blood test results, and if so, can you share them here with...

    For me the weight gain began around a year after going gluten-free.

    There are tons of gluten-free options in Spain, especially the tappas. A good restaurant card in Spanish may be helpful, and you may want to check into GliadinX (AN-PEP) enzymes which have been shown in many studies to break down small amounts of gliadin/gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines (and they are a sponsor here as well).

    Welcome to the forum! It's better to figure this out late than never! It sounds like you are on track to recover, and I'm glad you've finally figured things out.

    The blood test are not reliable unless you were eating gluten, at least 2 slices of wheat bread worth per day, for 6-8 weeks before the test. If you want to be retested this is what you would need to do. Or, you could just go gluten-free now and save yourself the suffering.

    In general the B vitamins work together, which is why B-Complex vitamins are so common. You may want to consider taking one.

    Some people, including myself, are allergic to penicillin (which may mean an allergy to that class of antibiotics). It's definitely best to be your own health advocate!

    It seems odd to me that your "specialist" it trying to talk you out of what seems to be 1) classic celiac symptoms; 2) you carry a gene that give you a 5% chance of having celiac disease; 3) you had villous atrophy consistent with celiac disease even after 2 months on a gluten-free diet; and 4) you feel better when you don't eat gluten, and poorly when you...

    Definitely check in with your doctor, but celiac disease is known to cause gluten ataxia, which could explain your symptoms. Are you taking a good multi-vitamin with minerals? One A Day or Geritol are good ones. You may also need to add extra B12, benfotiamine (B1 in a form that is absorbed better), and Magnesium Citrate (this can cause IBS-like issues...
