    For those with neurological issues I recommend taking a multi B-vitamin complex, and Benfotiamine: Since my diagnosis in my mid-twenties I had ataxia issues in my feet, numbness and tingling, and in the last 5 years higher fasting blood glucose levels, just below the cut off range for diabetes. I always took a B-complex, but it wasn't until I started...

    As for the different breads, this topic might be helpful. Costco carries packs of 2 frozen gluten-free pizzas that are good, as well as 2 packs of gluten-free loaves of bread (Franz), and Trader Joe's carries lots of GF products that are good, including hamburger buns. This thread might be helpful:

    I don’t think anyone here would recommend that someone with celiac disease eat any gluten, but polling has shown that perhaps 25% of celiacs do cheat on their diets. I suspect that those who do this may be more in the asymptotic group, but this isn’t clear. If you go this route I would recommend follow up blood panels and endoscopes to monitor possible dam...

    Good to know!

    After all testing is done and your doctor recommends that you go gluten-free, this article may be helpful:

    If you eat out consider GliadinX enzymes, which break down gluten in the stomach before it reaches the intestines. They are a sponsor here, but I’ve been taking them for years before I eat out just in case there might be some contamination and I haven’t had issues.

    Many people with celiac disease do take probiotics to help them decrease symptoms.

    We've summarized some research articles here which may be helpful: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/growth-hormone-deficiency-and-celiac-disease/ This article may be helpful, since he was only recently diagnosed:

    This is very interesting and I wish I could test eggs from wheat-fed chickens with my Nima Sensor. I've heard that eggs are always safe, no matter what they eat, however, I've never seen any actual study or testing that has been done to verify this claim.

    I would take 3, one right before each course. There seems to be no upper limit with how many you can take at once, within reason of course. I've been traveling and was in a place where they told me to forget about doing anything special with preparing my food (there was nothing else around for many miles), so I took 5 there (everything was cooked on the same...

    It is possible, and even possible that you've got another auto-immune issue going on...once you have one, you are more likely to get another. I read somewhere that around 20% of people get long covid, which usually goes away after a few months, but in some people it can last years, and maybe never go away. Be sure to check with your doctor about your...

    I'm not sure you need a formal diagnosis if you already know you can't have any gluten. Is there any reason why you're wanting an official diagnosis? Getting one can lead to higher private life and health insurance premiums...for life!

    Wow, thank you for sharing this!! I'm pretty sure that the Lactaid brand was always considered gluten-free, and now it might not be!
  15. Scott Adams
    I agree, if you are going the testing route you should keep eating gluten daily--they actually recommend two slices of wheat-bread's worth. Since you mother has this it does put you at a much higher risk for it.

    Given how you describe that you "felt like death" after you ate gluten, I think you have your answer, and probably should just stay gluten-free, unless you need a diagnosis to keep yo on a gluten-free diet for life. Some people do. This article may be helpful:

    It is certainly possible, and I eat out regularly as well, but I do take GliadinX (they are an advertiser here, but don't pay me to post about the product), which is an AN-PEP enzyme that has been shown in multiple studies to break down trace amounts of gluten/gliadin in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. I used to get issues eating out, but...

    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:
