    There is no such claim on the company's web site, and Snickers are naturally gluten-free: https://www.snickers.com/products/chocolate/snickers-milk-chocolate-candy-bar-sharing-size-329-oz-bars

    @Wheatwacked, I agree with @trents, 4 months seems like a really long time for one gluten episode. I've heard of a few weeks, but not 4 months.
  5. Scott Adams
    Doctors can miss celiac disease when doing a biopsy, and @trents is correct that they recommend at least 4 samples. At this stage though, it might not make sense to eat gluten again for another celiac disease screening, which would not detect non-celiac gluten sensitivity anyway. Perhaps just try the gluten-free diet for several months. Also, I noticed...

    Welcome to the forum! It is very sad that your doctor won't take you seriously. The only way to be screened for celiac disease is if you are eating gluten daily during the 6-8 weeks leading up to the blood test, so keep that in mind. Unfortunately they can't test yet for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, so even...

    For the hair loss issue, you may also want to read up on the DHEA supplement, as it is often recommended for women with hair loss issues.

    I've heard about urine tests that are used to determine whether on not your diet has been gluten-free, but have never tried them, mainly because I'm sure my diet is gluten-free.

    If he’s gluten sensitive and might have undiagnosed celiac disease, then yes, even small amounts can cause big symptoms, as well as a risk for more serious health issues such as an increased risk of additional autoimmune disorders.

    If your answer is this clear, and you already know that you cannot tolerate gluten, there is probably a little reason for you to go through a gluten challenge to get tested. Most people want a diagnosis because the diet is very tough to stay on for life, but to me it sounds like you already have your answer.

    Is it possible that he might have gotten some gluten in his diet during the time you thought he was gluten-free? I also want to mention that he could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity and unfortunately there are no tests for it, even though perhaps 10x people have it compared with celiac disease. Does anyone in your family have diagnosed celiac disease...

    Welcome to the forum! Can I assume that you've been on a strict gluten-free diet since your diagnosis? Even small amounts of gluten, like you might get eating outside your home, could cause ongoing symptoms and issues. It is interesting that you mention TMJ, as my mother who also has celiac disease has also had issues with TMJ for much of her life...

    Nightshades are an issue for many people, as they can cause inflammation, which may explain why you have issues with potatoes. This is a separate issue from celiac disease, but you may want to experiment and cut out all nightshades for a while to see if it helps.

    If you know the manufacturer you may be able to find your answer here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=barium

    I don't know the exact amount of gluten you would get from each use, it would be difficult to calculate, but for someone with celiac disease any amount is too much. Over time it could cause low level damage so it would be best for you to give it away and get one of the other varieties that don't contain any gluten.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like their Pam Original, Pam Olive Oil, Pam Grilling, Pam Avocado Oil, Pam Coconut Oil and Pam Butter don't contain any gluten ingredients: https://www.pamcookingspray.com/products But, it does look like their Pam Baking spray does contain wheat! https://www.pamcookingspray.com/products...

    I've never used separate utensils, but do check to make sure they are clean, especially in restaurants. Our dishwasher seems to do the job just fine.

    Thanks for sharing, and it's never bad to be careful and double check! For larger companies that include "gluten-free" on their labels, it is very doubtful that they would have a contamination issue, as a recall and potential lawsuits would be very strong motivators for them to get it right.

    In the USA, Maltodextrin is considered to be gluten-free:

    It's interesting that this appears to have been a symptom of your gluten sensitivity, and I also wonder how many others have this symptom. I ran a search of our site and got 230 hits, so it seems to be fairly common: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="cold hands"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy

    This is an interesting issue you've brought up, and as you've mentioned, most people report the opposite--that their libido improved after going gluten-free. Were you diagnosed with celiac disease? If so, you mention that you've had some mistakes with your diet. Is it possible that you're still getting regular trace amounts of gluten in your diet? If...

    I think you're thinking of Zojirushi: https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-BB-PDC20BA-Virtuoso-Breadmaker-Stainless/dp/B07BQ28TQ6/

    I'm going by memory here, but I believe that even when it's made from wheat germ it would still be gluten-free, although I'd still recommend finding a wheat-free version even if this were true.

    @morganastar I had to look up mesenteric panniculitis, as I've not heard of it before. Did they do a biopsy to diagnose that? I do wonder if it could be a related disorder to gluten sensitivity, but I've never heard of such a connection. Has the gluten-free diet helped with your symptoms?
