    Your approach to stop eating outside your home is a wise one, especially if you are super sensitive. I don't want to encourage you to change your approach, but just want to mention that GliadinX, which is an AN-PEP enzyme (that is a sponsor here) has been shown in multiple studies to break down trace amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the...

    If you are allergic to chicken eggs consider trying duck eggs. They can be found in most Asian supermarkets (be sure they are fresh, and do not have a red marker mark on them--those include a developed embryo), or sometimes at farmer's markets.

    Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten-free corn meal: https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Gluten-Cornmeal/dp/B081DQ1NXP/

    Keep in mind that there is a condition that is more common called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which around 10x more people have than celiac disease, and unfortunately there isn't a screening test for it yet. You may still want to try a gluten-free diet for a while to see if it helps.

    This article has a detailed description of the blood test procedure:

    If you do ever go back, many try to go when it's not busy, and order the lettuce wrapped version with the gluten-free bun on the side. To me wheat buns have a distinct smell to them, while gluten-free buns smell differently, but again, I would avoid any place that made such an error.

    Welcome, and I was also wondering how often you are going the gym and how long do you work out? Generally speaking you'll need to increase your calorie intake, especially protein, if you work out often.

    I don't know much about your situation, but is it possible you could go the implant route? I've heard that Medicare may cover the now, but am not sure.

    Welcome to the forum! Many people with celiac disease fall into the asymptomatic category, and for those in this group it seems they are the most likely to question their diagnosis. Unfortunately, even thought you may not have obvious symptoms, the health risks remain the same should you have celiac disease and continue eating gluten. Feel free...

    It is possible, and we have many research articles in this category on gluten ataxia and celiac disease: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

    I am not sure if lecithin contains soy oil, but it is usually made from soy. I brought this up because of this article: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200117080827.htm

    Benfotiamine seemed to help my blood sugar issues, which may have helped eliminate the night sweats. Take with a B-complex.
  13. Scott Adams
    My first thought is are you sure your diet has been 100% gluten-free? If you eat at restaurants, probably not...

    As far as I know, SIBO would not cause a single positive ttg IgA test, let alone several. One test was nearly double the marker for celiac disease--this is a very specific test that can't really be explained by very much else, especially given his symptoms AND biopsy findings.

    Joint pain is very common in those with celiac disease, and it likely results from inflammation triggered by the gluten. I'm sorry this happened, and no, it doesn't seem adequate. There are many cases of people who sue restaurants for things like this, but I would never recommend that route unless something regular and intentional was happening at the restaurant...

    I agree that reactions vary so much from person to person that you likely won't be able to find two people who are just alike. I've never heard that Hunts Ketchup contains any gluten...on their web site there are no gluten ingredients, and there are none of the top 8 allergens (milk, peanuts, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat...

    I used to have this issue, but I believe that once I finally got my vitamin & mineral supplementation figure out, it seemed to resolve.

    I don't envy you in your quest to go through a gluten challenge to get a diagnosis, but you only need to do it for 2 weeks before your endoscopy procedure, and it should be ~2 slices worth of wheat bread. Given your immediate terrible symptoms, and your family history, do you really need an official diagnosis? To me it sounds like you already have your...

    Unlike most autoimmune diseases celiac disease can usually be fully controlled by 100% avoidance of gluten, which is much easier said than done. I you can stay gluten-free, you should recover and not have any "flare ups." That said, there is definitely a sub-group of people who have ongoing symptoms, and they may need to do even more to recover:
  20. Scott Adams
    I agree, and it looks like you need to follow up your blood test with an endoscopy for confirmation. To me this still seems like a clearly positive result, especially if you have symptoms, which you didn't mention. Personally even if my endoscopy were in the normal range I'd still consider trying out a gluten-free diet, just based on your blood test results...

    That is an interesting issue, and I'm not sure if it would be tied to celiac disease or not. I did a search of our site for "dysphonia" and nobody else has reported this issue. Can I assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet? If so, for how long? Also, do you eat out? I'm wondering if you might be...
  22. Scott Adams
    All the symptoms you mention could be linked to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so I can understand why your doctor thinks that you may want to try going gluten-free. If you are gluten sensitive, then a gluten-free diet would likely relieve many, if not all of your symptoms. You mentioned having an endoscopy done that was negative,...
  23. Scott Adams
    I think it is correct to assume that you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and since you know you've got symptoms when you eat gluten there is likely no need to do another celiac panel, which may turn out negative anyway, as those with NCGS don't necessarily have elevated antibodies. There is a stool test done by Enterolab that can detect NCGS, and I can...

    I believe others have mentioned that getting vitamin B shots used to be more common, but now it seems harder to get a doctor to back up this approach. Have you had your vitamin levels checked?
  25. Scott Adams
    That's not too far from me...will have to try in next time I'm in the area!
