    1) Those tests can detect inflammation associated with heart disease, and that caused by some autoimmune diseases, but I know that many people which celiac disease can still have low scores on those tests, so they may not be a good indicator for celiac disease, at least in some people: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/c-reactive-protein-test...

    This is the category for our articles on CD and diabetes: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/ and more research is emerging that higher gluten consumption childhood can increase the risk of getting Type 1 diabetes, so, not the same as LADA, but an interesting finding. It would be good to...

    People with celiac disease who go gluten-free, then accidentally or purposefully eat gluten months or years afterwards tend to have a wide range of reactions. Some have no reaction at all, perhaps because their gut is fully healed, while others have nearly instant reactions that are very bad and last for days or weeks. This may be a bit late, but this...

    We have had members here who worked in bakeries or pizzerias when they were diagnosed, and as I recall some decided to change jobs because of that, but some people don't seem to be bothered by touching or smelling gluten, while others are. Given how sick gluten can make those with celiac disease, I do believe that such reactions could be your body's...

    Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you found some helpful information here, and this article may help you make the transition to a gluten-free diet:

    I have been to Istanbul for a vacation, and spent about a week there, but have never lived there. I can say that there are a lot of naturally gluten-free options in general when it comes to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods, however cross-contamination, a with any country's foods, can be an issue. The biggest problem I found was the very common practice...

    Wine is gluten-free, and I've never heard the claim that it is "filtered using gluten." Please provide a source for this claim. For years people have claimed that when wheat paste is used to seal wine barrels it contaminates the wine, but this has not been verified by those who make this claim. New wine barrels are steam power washed inside before use...

    Corn is safe for celiacs to have, although some celiacs may have a separate corn intolerance, just as they might have intolerances to other foods.

    Around 9% of celiacs also have an avenin (oat protein) intolerance that is considered to be separate from celiac disease, it sounds like you may be in this group.

    There is no such thing as a mild case of celiac disease, or slight celiac disease. Just because you don’t have more severe symptoms does not mean that you do not have the same health risks should you continue to eat gluten. You’ve had two positive test for celiac disease separated by years, so clearly you need to be eating a gluten-free diet for life. So...

    Or you could just go gluten-free for a while and see if you get symptom relief. Given your family history and symptoms it seems like a reasonable bet that, at the least, you may have NCGS. If you do the biopsy be sure to eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks beforehand.

    I think it would be wise for you to bring a good supply of gluten-free bars just in case, and you may want to consider taking GliadinX (a sponsor here, AN-PEP enzymes have been shown in several studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, like you might get with cross contamination). Since you’ll be eating out a lot it’s a good idea to be ...

    Thank you for the update on the name of the restaurant, which we removed from this listing. To answer your question, the author lives in San Francisco and has vetted the restaurants here. It's entirely possible that the waiter gave him bad information at the time he inquired, or that they have changed their recipe or cooks since it was written.

    It Histamine are a central issue for you have you tried taking allergy medication that lowers Histamine levels? Many allergy pills last 24 hours and work by decreasing Histamine levels.

    Unfortunately the symptoms of being glutened can vary greatly from person to person, from no symptoms to severe symptoms within minutes. Everyone seems to react a bit differently, and gluten can attach the gut, skin, and brain/nervous system, all to varying degrees depending on the person. Be aware that gluten-free oats are fine for most celiacs, however...

    Consider lidocaine 5% cream, which can be bought over the counter in the USA, and/or Ben Gay cream, which some with DH have reported to help stop the itching.

    TTG IgA was 128 u/mL - normal is <7 u/mL According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in...

    Yes, good call....people should avoid ingesting colloidal silver https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/colloidal-silver

    There is something called refractory celiac disease, which is celiac disease that does not improve on a gluten-free diet. It is pretty rare, but does happen to some people. We've summarized lots of articles about it in this category: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/ Many...

    The articles we've run on lectins are a bit old, but are still interesting: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=lectins&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles

    It is confusing, and the regulations are very similar now between the EU and USA, including being able to use Codex quality wheat starch in gluten-free products. It's a newer change in the USA, but these products have been used safely by most celiacs for decades. They usually reliably test below 20ppm, however, super sensitive celiacs should avoid these products...

    Eating in restaurants is probably the most common cause of cross-contamination. For a few years now I and other celiacs on this forum have been using GliandinX (a sponsor of this site) before eating out, or eating any foods they are not sure about. AN-PEP enzymes in that brand have been shown in multiple published studies to bread down small amount of gluten...

    I'm not sure how long you've been 100% gluten-free, but to me it sounds like you could have possible undiagnosed celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Many people with either condition have additional food intolerances which may go away after 1-3 years on a strict gluten-free diet. In the case of celiac disease, those additional intolerances...

    Welcome to the forum! I'm sure that others will chime in here, but the articles below might be helpful. Being vegetarian will create additional challenges for you, but many forum members have made the switch to a gluten-free diet, so it's definitely doable.
  25. Scott Adams
    Often what are described as "cross-reactors" are common food intolerances that newly diagnosed people with celiac disease have because of their leaky gut state. Many of these may go away after being on a strict gluten-free diet for a couple of years, and which will normally allow the gut to heal. In my case I was able to add back 90% of my "cross reactors...
