    If possible find one without brewer's yeast, as there should be many options available.

    I'm definitely no roofing expert, but did have a similar situation on my 1967-built track home here in Santa Rosa, although I did not have a metal roof. Our original roof was wood shingle, and they had put a composite roof over the top of it sometime in the late 80's. What we had done was: 1) Tear off both roofs; 2) Lay down new plywood over the...

    This looks fabulous--thank you for sharing!

    I know Carol Fenster's recipes are usually considered to be very good, but I haven't made the specific one you mention. In general gluten-free bread "dough" can vary a lot, some are more like the consistency of pancake batter, and this is especially true for bread machine recipes, but others are more like regular bread dough but not as sticky. I know...

    I merged your topics, because they are very similar, but thank you for sharing your celiac test results, which appear to be negative, but I can't tell for sure because it's not clear to me your score vs. the reference range marker for celiac disease used for each test. I will assume that they are all negative, as your doctor has indicated. You mentioned...

    Wow, this sounds like a big trip! Not to discourage you in any way, but have you checked into flight and hotel prices for Las Vegas? The reason that I ask is because at 4 hours and 40 minutes drive from the South Rim it is a very doable day trip from Las Vegas, especially for this time of year. Of course you'd need to rent a car for this, or join one...

    Anything is possible, but their products are, I believe, made in a dedicated facility. My daughter and I have been eating the various Trader Joe's gluten-free products for many years now and never had an issue, but again, it's possible they had some sort of issue with a batch. Did you save any of this product? If so, you could do a report to the FDA, and...

    I'm sorry you got glutened! The article below may be helpful, but it's likely too late for this episode. Just like symptoms for celiac disease can vary greatly from person to person, so can the symptoms of glutening. For some they have few symptoms, and sometimes none, but for others the symptoms can be almost immediate and severe. It is quite common...

    This article is from 2010, as indicated (Journal of Gluten Sensitivity Summer 2010 Issue. NOTE: This article is from a back issue of our popular subscription-only paper newsletter. Some content may be outdated.), but after re-reading it I see nothing that is incorrect about it.

    These three specific tests are strongly positive, so it looks like you may have celiac disease: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG: 56 (normal: 1-19) tTG IgA: 11 (normal: 0-3) tTG IgG: 12 (normal: 0-5) Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, so you would need to keep eating gluten until that test is done...

    Welcome to the forum! I just wanted to also mention, given your long history of symptoms and prior negative celiac blood test, than you indeed may have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, especially if your symptoms improve on a gluten-free diet. If you can get a copy of your old blood test results and share them they could reveal more info, so perhaps you can...

    Unfortunately, at least in the USA, Corn Pops contain wheat starch and are not considered gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link It's possible that the ingredients are different in Mexico.

    Another thing that is often mentioned here, magnesium citrate is a supplement that many celiacs need to take, and it can act as a laxative as well. You can get a gluten-free version of it at Costco.

    Nima is not out of business. They were purchased by a much larger company and you can buy the Nima sensor and test capsules here: Open Original Shared Link

    It can be difficult to know exactly where any cross-contamination might have come from, but it's possible that some people have linked it to the common cup. You may want to look through our archives as many people have discussed this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=chalice&quick=1

    Just FYI, in the USA these ingredients are gluten-free: Artificial Flavoring Artificial Flavors Caramel Color Caramel Flavoring

    The dermatologist appointment may not be necessary now that you have a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, but it never hurts to investigate the skin issue just in case.

    This is an older article, but still valid:

    Interesting article for sure, but is more of a discussion based on a small handful of cases, so it's not really the broad study I was hoping for. It does seem possible that there could be a certain number of autoimmune disease cases triggered by the vaccines, and they do discuss a case of Type 1 diabetes possibly being triggered, but don't mention celiac...

    Welcome to the forum @nansissons. Has your diet been 100% gluten-free? Epilepsy can be related to celiac disease, so be sure your diet is gluten-free. If you eat out at restaurants you may be getting trace amounts in your diet. As far as the vaccine causing either celiac disease or epilepsy, so far I haven't see any scientific publications that show...

    Welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you could include your full results, as well as the reference ranges for a positive test, as each lab handles these a bit differently. In general, I agree with you that the cut off for a positive blood test is set by some sort of scientific consensus, but may not be very accurate. For example some people...

    If you end up with a negative blood test for celiac disease, but do have symptoms you've noticed when you eat wheat, you may still want to try out a gluten-free diet for a while. 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but there isn't yet a test for it. If the diet helps with your symptoms, you may have NCGS.

    Good old prunes may also help you.

    I've not heard of this before, so thank you for bringing it up, as it is very interesting. Given the huge variety of nutrient deficiencies that most celiacs have when diagnosed, I would assume that this condition would likely be related to malabsorption issues. It's great to hear that you're gaining weight again, and feeling better, but the level of...

    I agree with @knitty kitty that, especially if you have celiac disease, the cravings could be the result of nutrient deficiencies. Damage to the intestines can cause a cascade of issues, including malabsorption, which can make you feel like you are starving. For decades it was thought that you could not be overweight and have celiac disease, but now it is...
