    I think you might be referring to this thread:

    Welcome to the forum! I agree with all the replies above, and just want to recommend this article:

    I agree with @trents, it seems that you already know that you're gluten sensitive, and possibly have celiac disease. Unless you want to eat ~2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for 6-8 weeks in order to get a blood test for celiac disease, then you probably should just stay gluten-free.

    The good news about this disease is that if your son does have it, and goes 100% gluten-free (unfortunately this may mean excluding restaurant food due to the cross-contamination risk), he should be able to recover fairly quickly and in most cases his growth may catch up to the normal range again.

    Welcome to the forum, more and more celiac disease is being diagnosed without a biopsy if your tTg levels are 5-10x the cut off level for a positive test:

    Welcome to the forum! It's very interesting that you may have been diagnosed with celiac disease when you were 2, and then reintroduced to gluten. At that time it was considered a "childhood disease" that many doctors thought some people would outgrow. The Cyrex lab tests you mentioned would not be the most specific for celiac disease, but may work...

    This article may be helpful, and if you eat in restaurant, even from a gluten-free menu, cross contamination is still likely:

    Welcome to the forum. You may want to do a search for an app that might have gluten-free restaurants and cafes.

    I started taking choline about 6 months ago, and can say that I've notice a vast improvement with my memory. I've always had memory issues, even when I was younger, so I just assumed that it could not improve. But I have noticed a slow, steady improvement, and I believe that my memory now may be even better than when I was in my 20's-30's. But this might...

    Welcome to the forum! Is there any chance some family member could be giving her food, candy, etc, which might contain gluten? We've seen this here before, a family member that feels sorry for a kid, or just doesn't believe or know that a child can't eat any gluten, and gives them some special "treat." I am just trying to thing of all possibilities.

    As long as you don't need a piece of paper that says you have celiac disease in order to stay on a strict gluten-free diet for life, then no, I don't think a positive test result is necessary. Some people need this, but it sounds like you already know that gluten causes issues for you.

    I usually make it on a cutting board, fully made, then carefully move them into the skillet on medium with around a teaspoon of oil so they don't burn, then cover until the cheese melts.

    Sweet Loren’s of New York, NY is voluntarily recalling a single lot code of Sweet Loren’s Sugar Cookie Dough 12oz, because it may contain traces of gluten in product labeled as gluten free. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to gluten potentially run the risk of an allergic reaction if they consume these products No illnesses have been rep...

    You mentioned that you are totally gluten-free. Were you gluten-free before you took the celiac blood test? If so, you will have false-negative results, as you need to be eating about 2 slices worth of regular wheat bread for 6-8 weeks before taking this test.

    As mentioned in my earlier posts here, I've been using "white flour" gluten-free tortillas from Trader Joe's, or regular gluten-free extra large corn tortillas, and putting them together, then frying them with some oil in an iron skillet with a lid.
  20. Scott Adams
    If the dough mix is gluten-free, it's a good idea, if not, probably a bad idea. Masa corn flour is cheap a available, I'm sure you could use it to make pizza crust.
  21. Scott Adams
    This is a bad approach, as flour is everywhere in a pizzeria, and it likely gets on the toppings and cheese. Have you every watched them make pizzas in a busy pizzeria? You'd be better off making your own using gluten-free tortillas, or your own crust mix: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-pizza-recipes/

    It is certainly possible that they could use gluten in the cigarette brand you use. Have you tried switching to another totally different brand, perhaps one from the USA or somewhere else? Unfortunately the tobacco industry is very secret about their ingredients, and as far as I know they do not need to disclose them. Of course you should also re-check...

    I don't believe this would be standard in current testing for celiac disease or DH, but there is research linking TG6 Auto-Antibodies in both dermatitis herpetiformis and gluten ataxia, so they are not found in all celiacs. I am not sure of a lab that does TG6 testing, but, in general, a full celiac disease blood panel should work fine to determine whether...

    I am sorry to hear that you're having ongoing health issues, even after going gluten-free. One of our moderators @cristiana is from the UK, and perhaps she may know about a specialist there, but please see this article, as it may be helpful. Do you include oats in your diet? If so, try cutting them out for a few months, as ~9% of celiacs are also intolerant...

    I agree that a thorough cleaning should work for most pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc., and would only replace any that are wood, but it is great that you are taking this seriously and making sure things will be safe for your child going forward. Some people have recommended a deep cleaning of an oven, followed by running the cleaning cycle on it,...
