    Are you talking about whole cobs of corn, or the kernels, for example like you would get in with canned corn? In general this should not be something that you would have to worry about, as it should be naturally gluten-free. Here in the USA if there was a possibility of cross-contamination with wheat they would have to add an allergen warning in the...

    Welcome to the forum! Unfortunately your story sounds a lot like the follow up care that those with celiac disease here in the USA receive--which in many cases, including in my case, has been slim to none. Any follow up tests I received, for example I have gotten follow up blood tests to make sure that my tTG antibody levels went back to normal, have...

    Yes, and many people who have casein issues can often tolerate sheep's or goat's milk as an alternative, which I turned to for a couple of years after my diagnosis. Likewise I had to switch to duck instead of chicken eggs. After a couple of years gluten-free those additional intolerance issues faded away, although I still stick to duck eggs most of the time...

    Welcome to the forum. You may also want to try good old prunes and prune juice, as they can work wonders.

    I agree with proceeding with the sleep study, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few years ago, and after using a cpap ever since I have much more energy during the day.

    Hi @Miska, welcome to the forum. Only the makers of those foods can tell you if they are safe, so it would be best for you to call them and go over each one individually, especially any that are not labelled gluten-free. Many foods can be made on shared equipment, and if that is the case here, there is a real chance that there could be gluten contamination...

    Celiac.com 04/11/2022 - Van Law Food Products Inc of Fullerton, California is issuing a voluntary recall of Whole Foods Market 365 Organic Creamy Caesar Dressing because it may contain undeclared Soy and Wheat allergens. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Soy or Wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume...

    There are different types of anemia, for example pernicious anemia, and some can only be detected by very specific tests. It might be worth it to go through these in more detail, then bring up your issues with your doctor for possible screening: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20351360

    I doubt it would be used in yogurt, but who knows? It would certainly be worth eliminating all dairy/casein for a few weeks, and keeping a food diary to see if you can link your issues with other foods/allergens.

    I know people can be very picky about their pasta...has your husband tried Barilla or Schar gluten-free pastas? Many non-gluten-free people can't tell the difference. I wonder if he'd switch over?

    Gluten has been linked to dozens of issues which you can read more about in the category below, but I've not seen research on it being linked to granuloma annulare. It's certainly possible though. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/

    If the cause of your symptoms is gluten, and it certainly sounds like some of your symptoms are gluten-related, as they improved on a gluten-free diet, then normally you would see some improvement by now. But if you have celiac disease, you could have flattened villi which will take time to heal, and it can take up to 2 years to recover, although most celiacs...

    I've not heard of either prescriptions as being common for celiacs, and it looks like vilafinil keeps you awake and alert, and modafinil has similar properties. The side effects of taking these can definitely cause sleep issues. Have you tried melatonin to help you sleep? It is a natural hormone widely available here in the USA, and is considered non-habit...

    Although your symptoms if you eat any gluten may be mild, all the negative heath consequences if you to eat any gluten are still the same, so hopefully you fully avoid it. It sound like you could have vitamin and mineral deficiencies that often come with celiac disease. Are you taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement that includes a B- complex,...

    Just FYI, we just published this article so the trend to use blood tests only to diagnose celiac disease seems to be gaining more traction:

    Welcome to the forum! This article may help you, and it has a GF Kitchen section in it:

    I definitely understand why you may not trust certain products, and cross-contamination can be an issue. It's highly unlikely that naturally gluten-free items like mayonnaise would be contaminated, especially if you use large brands like Kraft Foods that do proper allergen labelling. You may want to stick with certified gluten-free products, which use a higher...

    We offer tons of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and I tried to use this search to more easily find those with almond flour: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="almond flour"&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and

    It's very likely that they do use gluten-free oats, otherwise they would not be able to include "gluten-free" on their labels. However, around 9% of celiacs also react to the protein in oats (avenin), which is considered to be a secondary food intolerance. She may be in the category.
  20. Scott Adams
    I agree that the average time to heal has been cited as 2 years in at least one study, and agree with @cristiana that this is usually based on how severe a person's case of villous atrophy is upon diagnosis, however, after many years of experience I've also seen that most people do not fully understand what is required of them to be 100% gluten-free. For...

    Thanks for the warning. Have you tried to communicate this to Trader Joe's? I'm just curious how they handle these things. At the very least it seems like they should pull some samples and have them tested.
  22. Scott Adams
    You were never tested for any of what you are claiming here, but are throwing around lots of ideas like "my body became acidic" and that milk caused this condition, as though it is generally accepted by doctors and science, but I can assure you that the alkaline diet is currently looked at as psuedoscience by the scientific community: https://www.webmd...

    Good to know!

    So malt syrup can come from rice or other gluten-free grains, and if it says "gluten-free" on the label that would likely be the case, but the company would be wise to label it fully, by including the source, for example: malt (from rice).
  25. Scott Adams
    If there is any added wheat it must be disclosed on their ingredient label with "Contains: Wheat." It's possible that the gluten might come from a barley ingredient, for example malt extract, and then this would not be required. Hopefully this loophole in current labelling laws can one day be corrected.
