    We published a Mayo Clinic a few months back that indicated that up to 44% of first degree relatives could also have celiac disease. I've seen different lower ranges on other studies though.

    I doubt you would need to worry about this, as I assume that the floor was not covered with wheat flour or gluten. Wiping the headset off should work to mitigate any possible issues with contamination.

    Welcome to the forum. To confirm a celiac disease diagnosis the next step after a positive blood panel would be an endoscopy, rather than a colonoscopy...are you sure the test scheduled is a colonoscopy? I can't speak to how much pain you are in, but I can say that over the 25+ years this site has been around it is very unusual for someone newly...

    If wheat is included then it must say so on the ingredient label. I've not seen wheat used as described in the comments, at least not in the USA.

    In general it's best to avoid contact with gluten, you didn't mention whether you ate off of this contaminated tray, or simply touched it. Most celiacs can touch gluten without issues, however, it's best to wash your hands afterwards. Obviously a celiac would want to avoid eating off of contaminated dishes, utensils, pots, pans, trays, etc.

    Some of the articles we've summarized here over the years have included info on the spleen-celiac disease connection: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=spleen&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and

    Had the tray been washed before this happened? Did it have gluten foods on it when this happened? It's unclear what the scenario was, so it is hard for us to comment about it.

    My mother used to have major TMJ issues before and after she was diagnosed with celiac disease, but this did improve over time after she went gluten-free.

    I think anyone with celiac disease would be better off picking a beer from this article, and if you are very picky about your beer you may want to go with a gluten-removed option: If you are very sensitive, best to go with the gluten-free with no gluten ingredients option.

    Let us know how things turn out. It sounds to me like you've already linked your symptoms with gluten consumption, so at the very least you likely are in the non-celiac gluten sensitive category and may need to remain gluten-free even if your test results turn out negative for celiac disease (there is no test yet for NCGS).

    There may be an easier way...at least on a PC. If you right click on any photo and select "copy image," then click within a new post where you want the picture to appear and right click again and select paste. On an iPhone if you hold down your finger on an image for a while it will give you options to do the same.

    Welcome to the forum! It's unfortunate that you have to wait so long for your endoscopy. Yes, technically your GP is correct, and the amount you should eat daily for 2 weeks beforehand should be equal or greater than 2 slices of wheat bread. You could also do this for a longer time just to be certain, but the minimum length of time for this would be...

    The images you shared, especially the one on the far-right, look exactly like the patch of DH I used to get on the back of my thumb.
  14. Scott Adams
    If they won't even look at a dietary cause you should change doctors. Clearly he's having symptoms that could be related to things he's eating, thus, they are failing as doctors if they are unwilling to consider this. DH is normally very itchy, so it's possible it may not be DH, but a dermatologist would need to do a proper DH biopsy next to the blisters...

    Sorry but we're not pharmacists here...you'd need to ask your doctor or pharmacist about this.

    Welcome to the forum @Rebecca Clayton. You did not mention the symptoms or issues you are trying to treat, so it is difficult to offer any help. Could you please let us know more about the issues you are trying to deal with? I know that there are lots of grains like teff and sorghum that are gluten-free and are available in Africa, and that some of the...

    Yes, dairy and seafoods can cause DH flareups, and it would be a good idea for him to get tested for celiac disease, but since he's already gluten-free you can't, as he'd need to eat gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before the tests. Can I ask why the doctors are so sure his issues are not diet-related?
  18. Scott Adams
    Low ferritin can be a symptom of undiagnosed celiac disease, are you posting the results of her ferritin levels because you suspect celiac disease? If so, she needs to be eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a celiac blood panel is done:

    The labelling laws apply to any product sold in the USA, so this alone would cover all Gatorade products sold here. Also, years ago one of the big support groups did a study on modified food starch--there are only a few giant manufacturers of it here (I believe ADM is one of them), and all of it was made from corn, even though regulations do allow it...

    But don't trust me (or Celiac.org!), from Gatorade's site: Open Original Shared Link
  21. Scott Adams
    Jen Ryan, you are just wrong about Modified Food Starch in the USA: Open Original Shared Link In the USA they legally need to say "CONTAINS WHEAT" if the modified food starch comes from wheat. Read more here:
  22. Scott Adams
    If we went only by gut reactions to our product lists they would be totally inaccurate. In the USA modified food starch is made from corn and is gluten-free. What about all the sugar, which can trigger SIBO and other issues? Or the other ingredients?
  23. Scott Adams
    I've not heard this before. I can't think of why this would be the case. Where did you hear this?

    According to the RX Bar web site: ”The ingredients we use in our products are inherently gluten-free. Products labeled gluten free have met the FDA requirement that no more than 20 parts per million of gluten is present. They are made in a facility that also produces wheat containing products. We take quality control very seriously and strive t...

    In the USA smoke flavoring is gluten-free, but most bacon is naturally smoked:
