    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...

    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/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.

    You seem to be confused about what is gluten-free and what isn't. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

    I agree with @trents, bad advice! This doctor should know that you've been following the treatment for celiac disease, a gluten-free diet, which typically puts the disease into remission unless you start eating gluten again. Stay gluten-free because celiac disease, unfortunately, is a lifelong disease. You may want to educate your new doctor on this!

    Corn protein (zein) is considered safe for those with celiac disease, however, some people may have a separate food intolerance to it. 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...

    It’s great that you’re being so cautious about gluten exposure, especially since you’re asymptomatic and rely on diligence to stay safe. Regarding your mom’s gluten-free dough preparation, there is a risk of cross-contact if gluten-containing flour was used in the same area, even if surfaces and hands were washed. Airborne gluten flour can settle on unco...

    It sounds like you’ve been through a lot since your celiac diagnosis, and it’s great that you’re paying close attention to your health and lab results. Regarding your folate levels, it’s interesting that they’ve jumped from 4 ng/mL to >24 ng/mL. Since you mentioned you only took supplements for a short time, it’s possible that your diet changes sin...

    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. Alcohol can certainly irritate an inflamed, damaged gut. Some common food intolerance...

    The past symptoms you posted in the thread below are definitely worrisome, and could be celiac disease symptoms. I agree that a full blood panel needs to be done. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs...

    Even if the customer did have celiac disease, the way that they come across in this video is completely rude, and mean, which will make it harder for any subsequent celiacs who happen to visit this establishment in the future.

    Do you mean your tTg-IgA levels? Do you happen to have the reference range for a positive test if that is the case?
