    To me it seems like it might be ok to finish this bottle, but then move on to one that is labelled "gluten-free." I'm not sure of your sensitivity level, but given the size of the pills, and the tiny possibility of contamination, it seems likely that it would fall under the 20ppm threshold. That said, I wonder why this company doesn't test their own products...

    A quick glance at their web site indicates that they do not offer a gluten-free diet plan. They do offer a keto plan, but that's not necessarily the same. Do they make their meals in shared facilities with wheat products? It would be important to find this out.

    So you are making all sorts of claims here, none of which address your original comments regarding aflatoxins in corn. Again, if you have specific links to respected sources please share them, which you haven't done in this post.

    This research indicates that in some people cow's milk intolerance can elevate tTG levels:

    My daughter loves this pizza, and is also gluten-free, and she has zero issues, however, one of my three Nima gluten sensor tests I ran on the crust did end up positive, meaning that the batch tested was over the limit. This does make me wonder whether or not they have their wheat starch act together enough for prime time. If I eat this pizza I take GliaxinX...

    You've made a big claim here that "Food production is out of control and no accountability by the FDA," yet you've not cited any trusted sources that indicate that aflatoxins are an issue in the USA food supply. I've citied a trusted source that contradicts what you've claimed here...and the USA and other countries DO screen corn for aflatoxins levels to...

    It might make sense for you to get a fasting blood sugar test done, given your issues with carbs. In diabetics, carbs are more or less the same as eating sugar.

    I believe the recommendation is that they take at least 4 samples, and mistakes can be made when doing the biopsies, and many people here have reported false-negative results. Also, your gastroenterologist should have let you know that you should have been eating the equivalent of 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before your endoscopy was done...

    Welcome to the forum. You should try to get enough of each type of fiber, and especially soluble fiber as it can decrease your risk of diabetes and high blood pressure: https://www.healthline.com/health/soluble-vs-insoluble-fiber

    Thank you for sharing! These looks outstanding!

    Others have reported seizures here, and we do have some articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/epilepsy-and-celiac-disease/ In many celiacs the symptoms involve mostly the nervous system and brain, and these symptoms can take a long time to go away. How are your vitamin & mineral...

    This is great news!

    "In developed countries, commercial crops are routinely screened for aflatoxin using detection techniques that are performed in a laboratory setting. Food supplies that test over the regulatory limit are considered unsafe for human consumption and destroyed." https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/hsb/chemicals/aflatoxin.htm

    Welcome to the forum! The rash associated with celiac disease is called dermatitis herpetiformis, and is incredibly itchy, and typically has tiny hard blisters associated with it. A dermatologist would need to do a proper skin biopsy to diagnose it. It sounds like you may have already noticed a connection between gluten and your symptoms.
  17. Scott Adams
    Once you know that there is a connection, it may not make sense to get an official diagnosis. DH is horrible and an outbreak can last for weeks.

    Some members have reported that their thyroid levels went into the normal range after going gluten-free, but this would require follow up testing to verify. Here are our articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/

    Can I assume that she is not eating gluten-free oats (around 9% of celiacs have an additional sensitivity to avenin from oats)? Also, has she tried going dairy/casein-free, as this seems to be a common issue in celiacs, especially in the first year or two of a diagnosis?

    Please let us know what you find out.

    Most of us have been glutened before, especially those who eat out. Although a bit late, this article may be helpful if it should happen again:

    I think you mean Cholestyramine, and you may want to verify that it's gluten-free here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=Cholestyramine Has this been working for her?

    Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear about your recent issues. It's very doubtful that bottled water would contain any gluten, but if your gluten-free breads contain xanthan gum, or other gums like guar gum, it could cause IBS issues in some people: You may need to keep a food diary and try eliminating certain foods like casein/cow's milk...

    This came a bit late, sorry, but if it should ever happen again, you may want to bookmark this article:

    It sounds like you have a great doctor who is doing all of the right follow up work, which is actually pretty unusual, as many people here have shared complaints about the lack of follow up work they've received after being diagnosed. I think you should follow what your doctor recommends, unless you're concerned about getting an endoscopy again. I do know...
