    After years of people posting here that doctor prescribed them PPI's to lower stomach acid, there have been many examples of people who actually discovered their problem was really the opposite--they had low stomach acid. The only way to know for sure would be to try it for a while and see if you symptoms improve.

    If made in the USA maltodextrin is generally gluten-free and made from corn, but unfortunately they don't need to disclose ingredients or allergens on medications. Hopefully this will change.

    Can I ask if the place you ate at also served regular gluten foods? If so, there may have been cross-contamination, which is common in restaurants where both gluten-free and regular gluten dishes are prepared in shared areas. Also, in gluten-free breads xanthan, guar, and other gums are often used to make them hold together, this article may be helpful...

    For me the very worst symptoms like diarrhea, seemed to improve within a few weeks of going gluten-free, but I also had to eliminate 5-6 other non-gluten foods for a couple of years as well, so it wasn't until the 2-3 year mark that I was feeling nearly normal again. After ~3 years I was able to add back many of the non-gluten foods that bothered me before...

    If you're 100% gluten-free, and you take supplements, the good news is that the ataxia can improve greatly over time, but it can take years.

    It sounds like you may fall into the super-sensitive category, and if so, these feelings may be an overreaction, but one based on real experiences you've had in the past. If the people around you are bakers covered in wheat flour, it's highly unlikely that their mere presence in the room where you are preparing your food would be risky. It's probably better...

    I think this can vary a lot from person to person, and I believe doctors say 2-3 times a day is in the "normal" range, so if you are going 4-5 times a day you may have other intolerance issues, or your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. Floating stools are definitely a symptom of fat malabsorption.

    Bad news for beer lovers! This article may be helpful, and be sure to check out the comments as well:

    It is very interesting, and we've done some article some articles on glyphosate: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=Glyphosate&quick=1&type=cms_records2

    I know this isn't ideal, but could you attend wearing an N95 mask and just use the covid risk as the excuse for the mask, eat before you go, and just be there for the experience?

    23 and me should work for most of the basic genetic markers (I'm not sure about the other company, but it would likely be fine as well). He may also want to try this for a blood screening on his family: https://www.imaware.health/ Interestingly, my daughter's main symptom was the feeling that there was always food stuck in her throat/esophagus,...

    I also supplement zinc, and many of your posts make me wonder if celiac disease could be avoided in many people if they were to properly supplement. The different triggers of celiac disease in those with the genetic markers are not fully understood, and could certainly be nutritionally related.

    This is an interesting study and I've added it to our list of summaries we plan to do. I also was not aware that children are being prescribed PPI's, which I find a bit scary.
  14. Scott Adams
    The zinc connection to inflammation interesting, and there is definitely a connection between poor nutrition and Cytokine production.

    I'll share this article, which we plan to update soon:

    Your results look strongly positive for celiac disease, and after your biopsy you'll likely need to go on a gluten-free diet: Please let us know how it turns out!
  17. Scott Adams
    Please share your daughter's test results here if possible. I find this middle "suggestive of celiac disease" diagnosis rather odd, but to me it sounds like a positive diagnosis, and she has celiac disease.

    You might try taking a choline supplement, just be sure it is gluten-free. Most people are deficient in choline: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Choline-HealthProfessional/#:~:text=Choline is an essential nutrient,phospholipids vital for cell membranes. If you believe you may have low stomach acid, you could try taking HCL tablets with food for...

    @Grammy9If the ingredients are gluten-free then the medication is likely gluten-free. Medications are not prone to cross contamination in the same way as foods. There is no GF certification for medications.

    Thank you for the update @Chance. Please see if you can get a copy of the blood test results and share them here, including the reference ranges for a positive test. This would be helpful, but it sounds like you tested positive for celiac disease.
  22. Scott Adams
    Bloating can be common in untreated celiac disease and/or other food intolerances. If you're already gluten-free and having this issue double check your diet to make sure it is 100% gluten-free, and if so, keep a food diary and try eliminating dairy/casein, and other food types to see if you can figure out the cause. This article may help:
  23. Scott Adams
    BTW, just a thought here, but at the time of my diagnosis, likely due to the severe leaky gut issues, I could not tolerate around 5-6 other foods, for example chicken eggs, tomatoes, corn, casein, and a couple of others. It took me a few years to be able to add them back, and I still can only eat chicken eggs once per week. Given how many eggs you are eating...

    Welcome to the forum! It seems like quitting smoking, in your case, was a positive side-effect of having celiac disease. Hopefully you can continue on as a non-smoker. I think you've got a great attitude about this, which is more than half the battle with regard to staying gluten-free, and I had the same attitude after I was diagnosed. I had been...
