    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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).

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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. ...

    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...

    In Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac...

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/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

    Technically speaking they should be gluten-free and below 20ppm, however, it is possible that a batch was somehow contaminated and is over that level. It's also possible that you are sensitive to another ingredient. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

    Great questions! Elevated DGP-IgA is most commonly linked to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but other factors could play a role. Other autoimmune conditions, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), or even food sensitivities (e.g., dairy or FODMAPs) could also contribute to similar symptoms or test results. Fluctuating iron levels are...

    HLA DQ8 Positive - This means you have the genes to get celiac disease, which ~40% of people have as well, although only ~1% develop the disease.

    It is very doubtful that prescriptions medications would be cross-contaminated. It's not impossible, but most companies make many different medications and have very strict protocols for their manufacture.

    I would not say that milk is bad for you, but for those who have lactose intolerance, milk allergy, etc., it's best avoided.
