  1. Celiac.com 03/28/2025 - For students with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or severe food allergies, navigating campus dining can be a daily challenge. While many universities have made strides in providing safer food options, gaps...
  2. Based on your test results (IgG ELISA: 106 units, IgA ELISA: 135 units, tTG: 251 units), all of which are well above the >30 units threshold for moderate to strong positive, there is a very high likelihood—as you noted—that you have celiac disease. While a biopsy was traditionally considered the gold standard for confirmation, your exceptionally elevated ant...
  3. The description of their patented technology is quite vague, so I would say beware of it until you have more information.
  4. It's possible, as products made with wheat starch that is rendered to below 20ppm is now considered gluten-free in the USA, and has been in Europe for decades. It would be interesting to know more about the product and technology before trying it. They claim: This is a company in Spain.
  5. Product Description: Gold Emblem Abound Organic Milled Flax & Chia Blend SKU: 808568 UPC: 050428289693 Affected Lot Code: 01241652 (Expiration Date: 06/13/2026) Reason for Recall: The manufacturer is voluntarily recalling this product due to a potential presence of gluten, which may pose a risk to individuals with gluten sensitivities...
  6. Celiac.com 03/27/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which consuming gluten triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. While the primary treatment is a strict gluten-free diet, many individuals with celiac...
  7. What kind of issues have you had going to public schools? Are you gluten-free as well?
  8. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials and have been proven to be safe and effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. The mRNA technology does not alter human DNA; instead, it provides instructions for cells to produce a harmless...
  9. It might be worth a try to see if that is causing you issues. I've not tried it, but don't have the same issues with fruits and vegetables.
  10. Celiac.com 03/26/2025 - Miso soup has been a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine for centuries, traditionally served as a comforting side dish in homes and restaurants alike. Its origins date back to the Heian period (794–1185), when fermented s...
  11. My daughter is 19 and is gluten-free, and for her high school seemed to be the hardest period to deal with. Peer pressure was intense and it sometimes led her to cheat on her diet. She is doing much better with it now.
  12. Under the current administration the funding could be pulled, which would be really bad for something that sounds so promising. Hopefully other countries will pursue this research.
  13. How long ago were you diagnosed? Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy...
  14. Celiac.com 03/25/2025 - For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, finding delicious and satisfying gluten-free baked goods can be a challenge. Traditional baking relies on gluten to provide structure, elasticity, and a pleasing...
  15. Hello @CelluloseSick, it sounds like you’ve been through a really challenging journey trying to pinpoint and avoid cellulose fillers in medications. Severe migraines and liquid diarrhea, especially with Ulcerative Colitis, must make this an incredibly difficult issue to manage. It’s frustrating how hidden these ingredients can be, and it definitely takes a l...
  16. If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).
  17. If was eating less gluten between tests, it could account for the change in test results to false negative, but given all you shared celiac disease is the most likely explanation. I also would try to avoid an endoscopy done on a child, especially given the positive blood test results along with symptoms when she eats gluten (tiredness is definitely one...
  18. It’s tough when dietary needs collide like this—you’ve mastered gluten-free baking, only to hit another hurdle with your husband’s potato allergy! Since you prefer smoother textures (and oat flour is hit-or-miss), here are a few potato-free flour/blend options to try: Cup4Cup (Multipurpose or Wholesome blend) – Their standard version is cornstarc...
  19. First, it’s amazing how proactive you’re being for your whole family—that’s such a gift to your kids! Regarding breastfeeding and gluten: Current research suggests gluten proteins (the problematic part) don’t pass into breastmilk, only smaller gluten peptides that aren’t likely to trigger celiac. So unless you notice direct symptoms in your 1-year-old (e...
  20. For most celiacs prescription medications, even if they used wheat starch as an ingredient, would not contain enough gluten to trigger issues, however, for those who are super sensitive even tiny amounts of gluten can be an issue. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more...
  21. Welcome! It’s great that you’re getting answers through testing, even if it feels overwhelming right now. Your results show mostly normal ranges, but the weak positive in TTG IgG could suggest gluten sensitivity or early celiac—especially since you already react to gluten. Hashimoto’s and celiac/gluten issues often overlap, so it’s smart to investigate further. ...
  22. Hi Stephanie, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through such a frightening and overwhelming time. A celiac diagnosis on top of gastroparesis and gastritis is a lot to process, and your feelings are completely valid. It’s wonderful that you have such a strong support system—leaning on them (and your faith) will make this journey easier. The gluten-free transit...
