    Eggs should be safe no matter what the chicken eats. I've never seen any tests or studies to show that eggs could contain any gluten. If you are still concerned you should be able to ask the farmer what they feed them, as I know there are soy-based feeds.

    I think it would be highly unlikely to get gluten contamination this way, unless you were to swallow a bunch of hair during your cut, which I doubt anyone would do. If you are seeing an actual barber who went to barber school they should also be cleaning the clippers between cuts, typically using a compressed air blower similar to what you use to put air...

    Are you getting enough starches and fiber in your diet? Too little of either can cause this. It's also always a good thing to re-examine your diet just to be sure hidden gluten is not creeping into it.

    Welcome back!! And I'm sorry if this forum is addictive! 😉 You mentioned that you added a "new food" just before this happened, so that is probably a good place to start. Is it a food that could be contaminated with gluten? Do you have other food allergies? Your description of the needle-like itching sounds a lot like how dermatitis herpetiformis ca...

    You may want to look at this research summary, as it does apply to your son's situation.

    Many celiacs are diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori around the time of their diagnosis, which was true in my case. It was likely caused by my untreated celiac disease, but I was also given an antibiotic for it at the time of my diagnosis (in hindsight I'm not sure antibiotics were the best approach given what I know now about what they do to healthy gut flora...

    Although cellulose is gluten-free, you certainly can have a separate issue with it, which you've discovered. This link is very helpful to find any hidden ingredients in medications, so hopefully you are able to find a version of your medication without cellulose.

    It seems to me that you've not read the published scientific research studies that @docaz has shared in this thread, which describe in detail exactly what AN-PEP enzymes are capable of doing--which is breaking down small amounts of gluten in the stomach BEFORE it reaches your intestines and causes damage. You acknowledge here that GliadinX might be capable...

    I would not call 8.1 on a 0-5 scale, or 6.8, "mildly high." They are solidly positive results for celiac disease, and I believe your doctor would be correct making the celiac disease diagnosis based on these results, especially given your family history of it. You didn't mention weather or not he was eating 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 6-8 weeks leading...

    It's really unfortunate that your doctor doesn't understand basic blood test procedures for celiac disease. The protocol is supported by the Mayo clinic, and it begins with an IgA test, which then determines the other tests to follow it, but in reality, most doctors just order the entire panel at once so you don't have to go back several times:

    I agree, there is nothing dangerous about a gluten-free diet, as long as you compensate for the fiber and nutrients that fortified wheat bread products contain. In the last decade there have been lots of scare articles in the press about the "dangers of a gluten-free diet," which actually read very much like what most of them are, which are likely positions...

    Corn starch is gluten-free:

    You can search your medication here, find out which one you use, then look at its inactive ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

    I would still be extremely surprised if you could purchase 100 packages of these and get any to test positive for gluten. We are talking about Nabisco, owned now by Mondelēz International, which is one of the biggest food companies in the world. Of course it's possible, but what else did you eat that day or week? Given that you have delayed reactions, could ...

    To me it seems strange that the first couple of times you ate the ones from the same bag gave you no issues, but then eating some from the same bag later would give you an issue. Since they would be from the same batch, it seems like they would all be contaminated, or none would be.

    If you've been 100% gluten-free for those 3 years, it seems very unlikely that you would be suffering from gluten ataxia. In fact, it would be more likely that you had these symptoms while eating gluten, and then they would have gone away or improved after going gluten-free. I'd only recommend that you re-check everything in your diet just to be sure...

    Welcome to the forum! You are above the limit, and this is a test that is very specific for celiac disease, so I'd assume that you have celiac disease. Even if your results were 2.6 on that test, I would say that you still could have celiac disease. For some reason, and I believe it was around 5-7 years ago, we started seeing some labs include a...

    You may need to keep a food diary to find additional intolerances, for example eggs, yeast, corn, soy, milk, etc.
  19. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum! I usually try to steer people to get tested, but if the cost is a big factor, then why not just experiment more with the diet? Add gluten back and see what happens. The problem with testing is that around 1% of people have celiac disease, and may test positive for it with blood tests and possibly with a biopsy, but around ...

    This category has many articles on the this: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/ and brain fog is a symptom that many celiacs have...got to avoid gluten!
  21. Scott Adams
    The other thing to keep in mind is that you can take 1-5 pills, or more, with no real side effects, other than more AN-PEP will break down more gliadin. Again, this does not in any way mean that you should use them to knowingly eat gluten, but the sad reality is that most restaurant food, even ones with gluten-free menus, has some contamination according...

    Yes, the study looks for a link between gluten consumption in celiacs and those with NCGS to see if it alters their gut microbiome, which in the short term it doesn't in either group.

    I've not heard of volvulus being linked to celiac disease, but it would not surprise me at all if a study were to come out that showed a link. I agree...get tested for celiac disease before starting a gluten-free diet. More on volvulus: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321479 PS - others have posted here before about it: https://www...

    Please share any studies that show that it does not work. There have been multiple studies done on AN-PEP at this point, and all are linked to from their site: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications I've gone through each and they do support it breaking small amounts of gliadin down in the stomach.
