    We were able to verify this on their site (not easy to find), and updated this list...thank you!

    I think it would make sense for you to keep a food diary to see if you can find a common link with your reaction and a particular food. From your list, corn stands out as a common issue for many celiacs. Perhaps start by eliminating it for a couple of weeks, then add it back. You could then do this for other foods.

    Agreed, it should be gluten-free.

    I gained a fair amount of weight over the 2-3 years after I went gluten-free, which I wasn't able to do before going gluten-free. Nearly all my symptoms went away during that time as well.

    So your call here, and sorry to worry you. For what it's worth I've never had a follow up endoscopy, and had serious villous atrophy, but none of my doctors every offered any follow up. It sounds like your doctor is doing things by the book, with is refreshing to hear, considering the number of stories we hear here in which celiacs get little or no follow...

    The risk factors are still low overall, but you were asking whether or not you should wait until the 2 year mark to get a follow up endoscopy, and my though was why wait if your doctor recommends it now?

    We have a forum dedicated to DH...feel free to create an account and post there: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/

    Welcome to the forum! The article below will help you avoid gluten, which is very important if you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Either condition can affect your mental health. If you have celiac disease, then vitamin and mineral deficiencies are likely, which can also affect your mental health and well being, so it would...

    Most of the research we've summarized indicates that the risks associated with celiac disease, for example the higher risk of intestinal lymphoma, typically occur within a year of diagnosis. While the overall risk for it is still low, my thought on this would be that if you ever get a follow up biopsy, then it might make sense to get it sooner rather than...

    Some people have reported that Ben-Gay cream helps relieve the itching, and also a 5% lidocane cream (which can be bought over the counter in the USA).

    Welcome to the forum! I had a small patch of DH on my right hand and as I recall the outbreaks could last for a week or two, and could flare up at different levels during that time. Given that you've only been gluten-free for a week, it is certainly possible that you still have gluten in your system that could be causing this. That said, it is also...

    If this was a food made in the USA, then "starch" would mean that it was from corn. This is still likely the case, however, with drugs the labelling laws are not the same, so it could be some other form of starch. Here is a good place to search your specific brand to see its ingredients. Perhaps you can switch over to one that is definitely safe? https...

    Kraft has a very good allergen labelling system which is described on their Web site. If there is any possibility of wheat contamination in any of their products they will include that in the ingredient label.

    Thank you for this link...it looks like they've relaunched under a new web site!

    For you this is a good thing, as goat's milk and associated products are fairly uncommon in comparison with cow's milk products.

    Can I ask where you are getting the test capsules? I have a Nima sensor, but they stopped selling them, and I understand that the company was sold a couple of years back. I tested the new "Gluten-Free" DiGiorno pizzas--3 different pizzas from 3 different batches, and 1 out of 3 tests were positive for gluten. They use a Codex wheat starch in them that...

    If your symptoms are gluten-related, which it sounds like you've already determined, then it is possible you have celiac disease. If so, healing will take time, and you need to be sure your diet is 100% gluten-free:

    Welcome to the forum @Michelle3012. You replied to an older post, so it's possible the original posters may not be following this thread now, but I wanted to chime in on this topic. Can you tell us more about your situation? Are you a diagnosed celiac? If so, is your diet 100% gluten-free? Do you eat outside your home, like in restaurants?
  19. Scott Adams
    Let us know how it goes!
  20. Scott Adams
    Sometimes this can be related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, especially if you are a newly diagnosed celiac. Are you taking a good multivitamin and mineral supplement?
  21. Scott Adams
    When you say "react," what exactly do you mean? Is this a gluten reaction? Do you have additional food intolerance issues or allergies? There are many things that can cause reactions, and not all are related to gluten.
  22. Scott Adams
    Yes, you've started a thread on a popular topic here...constipation is pretty common in those with celiac disease, both before and even after diagnosis. Have you tried some of the basic remedies, for example eating prunes or taking over the counter meds for it? Is your diet 100% gluten-free? If you eat outside your home, probably not.
  23. Scott Adams
    Yes, unfortunately this test result does not exclude NCGS, which around 10% of people have, while only ~1% have celiac disease. If you have unexplained symptoms that seem to be associated with gluten consumption, you may still want to go gluten-free for a while to see if you get relief.
  24. Scott Adams
    Unfortunately this seems to vary greatly from person to person. We've had people report that they get symptoms within minutes, while others say that it takes them a day or more to get symptoms. This article my be helpful should you ever get gluten contamination:

    Chocolate is well-known to have a laxative effect in some people, especially when eaten in larger quantities.
