I believe that Ashwaghanda can increase blood pressure, so just beware of this.

Maybe only in Bavaria, where beer is classified as "Lebensmittel," so basically "food stuff." 😃

Welcome, this article may be helpful:

After seeing this press release: https://utahstories.com/2022/02/ime-travelers-bread-provos-bakery-makes-avoiding-gluten-a-thing-of-the-past/ I am just opening up this topic for discussion. It's about this company: https://timetravelersbakery.com/ which: The site does not claim that it is suitable for celiacs, which I doubt it...

Welcome to the forum! So you're just under six months on a gluten-free diet, and I will have to assume that you're doing a good job, as even trace amounts, for example at restaurants, might prolong your recovery. Depending on the condition of your villi damage (I assume you had some), it can take 1-2 years for that to heal, but you really should start gaining...

I agree, definitely get screened for celiac disease, and just be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing has been completed, otherwise you could end up with false-negative results. Also, and this makes everything more tricky, there is a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity which 10x more people have than have celiac disease, yet there...

Ttg iga recent positive
Scott Adams replied to dr-meatball's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Personally I don't believe in any "weak positive" results...they are either positive or not, and even those they deem negative, which may fall just below the cut off line, are still suspect, and many people who have elevated antibody levels just below the cut off line should not be eating gluten, as it is clearly causing an abnormal autoimmune response in... -
Welcome @Crowe, as mentioned, gluten ataxia is a common issue in untreated celiac disease, and this category has many articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/ Dr. Rodney Ford has also written several books that cover...

It’s up to you whether you need a formal diagnosis or not, some people need one to stay on a gluten-free diet, and some don’t, but I agree that it would likely be easier to get tested before going gluten-free than it would be to try a gluten challenge after months on the diet. It’s also possible that your results could be negative for celiac disease, and ...

A look at their site indicates that it's gluten-free, thus safe for celiacs: https://www.liquid-iv.com/ Did you eat other things that day that could be the culprit? It might make sense for you to contact the company if you believe they may have a contamination issue. This would be rare, but possible.

Again, if your posts in this thread are not in any way related celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, etc., then they are way off topic for this site.

I would also like to add that there are around 10 celiac disease pharmaceutical treatments in the development pipeline: https://www.beyondceliac.org/research/drugdevelopment/drug-development-pipeline/ so it is likely that by the time you have children there will be a more effective treatment for it, should they get it. Given what I've read about with...

People with celiac disease often have additional food intolerance issues, so keeping a food diary and excluding certain common offenders like soy, corn, eggs, dairy, etc. for a time, then adding them back to your diet, is a good way to discover the culprit. These additional intolerances may be temporary, and once your leaky gut situation heals you may be...
-
I don't think they would do anything more to treat your weight issue if you had a celiac disease diagnosis, with the exception of making sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free, and perhaps steering you towards gluten-free nutritional shakes like Ensure to help you gain your weight back. If your current weight is a medical issue, then it would still be an...

It is very doubtful that red wine would have any gluten in it (I do know about the wheat paste used to make barrels, which has never been shown to make gluten detectable in wines), and it is more likely a reaction to histamine levels, which can be high. Many people have a "wine intolerance" due to this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8005453/#:~:text...

I recall feeling much better within days or a couple of weeks of going gluten-free, but the leaky gut issues took me almost 2 years to resolve. The more strict your gluten-free diet is, the faster your gut should heal, and it's safe to say that, given the time period of the mid-90's of my diagnosis, it was quite hard to figure out the diet, as there just...

Welcome to the forum. To get screened for celiac disease they would run a blood panel, and you would need to be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks beforehand for the test to be accurate. If it is positive your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to take biopsies of your villi to confirm this, and for that you'd need to eat gluten daily for at least 2...
-
The withdrawals you describe are very common when someone gives up gluten, and for me this period took a few weeks, but I believe that it got a little better each day. Exercise is probably good, but maybe best to be done at home, at least until your diarrhea is under control. Did you get any tests done for celiac disease, or are you just trying...

If you already know gluten is your issue, I'm not sure if there is a need for a formal diagnosis. It may preclude you from certain follow up tests, but in reality I have to push hard for any follow up testing that has ever been done, as my doctor would not order any on their own. Also, a diagnosis can cause higher private health and life insurance premiums...
-
Do you happen to have the reference ranges for the blood tests you took? Each lab is a bit different in how they score it. Also, you would need to eat 2 slices of wheat bread daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise it could be a false-negative result. Given your symptoms, and discomfort when eating gluten, it sounds like you already...
-
I am surprised at the very slow time-frame...July 2021, and you're just now getting those results? Is there any way you could have the blood test results mailed or emailed to you? My guess is that they could not even schedule an endoscopy for you for several months at this rate. Perhaps you should just go gluten-free now, but if they do want to do the...

I too am grasping at straws here, and it's not likely, as the spirits you mentioned are distilled, but just to over all bases try switching to a vodka that is distilled from non-grains, for example a potato vodka. Are you eating any other foods high in iodine?

Flight Delay Leads to Gluten-Free Meal Chaos for Family
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
On a long flight I always pack a couple of gluten-free sandwiches and some GF bars, and send them through the x-ray machine. I've never had an issue doing this, and no, this amount of x-rays won't hurt your food. -
Welcome to the forum, and it is doubtful this thread is being followed by anyone after 4 years, so I wanted to chime in. Are your tests for celiac disease finished? If not, you need to keep eating gluten until all testing is finished. Did you receive a celiac disease diagnosis? If so, your diet should be very strict, and this may help:
