    I find it very strange that his doctor appears to be ignoring multiple positive blood tests for celiac disease AND biopsy results which seem to confirm celiac disease. The varied symptoms you've described are very typical for celiac disease, so my only question is, why has your doctor not started him on a gluten-free diet at this point?! Symptom relief would...

    I've been using this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MK6D652

    According to their Web site, it is gluten-free. See the Specifications tab at: https://www.samsclub.com/p/members-mark-seasoned-rotisserie-chicken/prod861280

    It's possible that the ones used in their actual store Cafes are different. I would ask if you could see the ingredients before eating them again. I'm sure that the packaged ones I linked to should be safe.

    It is likely gluten-free, post its ingredients here for more insight.

    Welcome to the forum! Were you eating ~2 slices of wheat bread worth of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your blood tests? If not, you could end up with false-negative results. This would be the normal testing protocol for celiac disease blood tests.

    I have had similar symptoms, and something that helped me was adding choline and benfotiamine (a form of B1) to my already large amount of supplementation. I also take a B-complex, vitamin D, and Citracal (Calcium, magnesium & zinc) supplements, but it was not until I added choline and benfotiamine that helped my memory and mental issues clear up.

    It’s great to run into such patient and helpful staff members when eating out!

    Welcome to the forum! Migraine headaches are definitely linked to untreated celiac disease and or gluten sensitivity, and this category has quite a few articles about this connection: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/ Since your sister has celiac disease and you have found relief...

    The Mayo Clinic is not "big pharma," and certain unregulated supplements can have negative side effects, and many have been known to cause injury. It's important to mention that this particular one does have risks associated with it.

    If you look at the package shots here: https://www.samsclub.com/p/members-mark-beef-franks-12pack/prod22120582 it does say "Gluten-Free" on the label.

    The problem with Kratom is that it is linked to liver damage, so the risks of using it far outweigh the benefits. This is from the Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/kratom/art-20402171

    H-E-B is voluntarily issuing an all-store recall for half gallon H-E-B Creamy Creations Light Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream due to an undeclared allergen. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction...

    Not sure if you saw the comment above yours:

    I agree, and given that you have two high blood test results for celiac disease, you likely have it, especially given your symptoms. Has your doctor discussed your results with you yet?

    I've never taken vitamin D strictly for my bone health, which apparently is quite good. For me vitamin D seems to help a lot with eliminating the run down feeling that I had prior to adding it to my regular supplementation. I do think getting it naturally via sun exposure might work for you, but I often don't get regular sun exposure, especially during the...

    Although it sounds counter-intuitive, some research has shown that reflux can be caused by low stomach acid, rather than high stomach acid. Many doctors, almost reflexively now, prescribe PPI's for reflux, and in such cases this makes the issues worse.

    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:
