Are some of us over doing our Protein intake ??
Scott Adams replied to Jackie Garrett's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've not heard of a high protein, and specifically an Atkins or Paleo Diet, causing any issues in people with celiac disease. On the contrary, many people who have switched over to those diets after going gluten-free have claimed that it has helped them finally get relief from their ongoing symptoms (specifically cutting out all grains, bad carbs, sugar,... -
So it looks like you don't have low IGA, so that means those tests would be accurate had you been eating the recommended amount of gluten for 6-8 weeks leading up to the test, which you said that you did not do. Not eating gluten, or eating little gluten before the tests could cause false negative results.

This is an old thread, but in general someone with celiac disease should use a dedicated gluten-free sponge, and never use a shared sponge that has come into contact with gluten.

Welcome to the forum! Is there a chance they did a test for Immunoglobulin A (IgA)? I ask because if you are deficient for this test it will lower scores on certain tests, and the normal celiac blood test protocol is described in this article: So it is possible to have a negative blood test (especially if you have low Immunoglobulin A - IgA), and a...

Is Kraft Parmesan Cheese Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
That is one method that should work for you, however, I still recommend, at the very least, always looking at the ingredient labels and allergen warnings, as ingredients and suppliers could change at any time. I became an ingredient "expert" years go by maintaining these lists, but if you are in the USA look for "gluten-free," or better yet, "certified gluten... -

Brands of Gluten-Free Millet Cereals
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Unless it is cross-contaminated millet is safe for those with celiac disease, but it is possible for anyone to have additional food intolerances or food allergies to other foods/grains. -
Do You Have Similar Symptoms?
Scott Adams replied to Ucat's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Good call, did they do a total IGA as part of the celiac blood panel? This is considered standard, because some people have low IGA which can skew the tTG results. If you do have naturally low IGA they can do other tests for celiac disease, however, to me it sounds like you already know that gluten is the cause of your issues, which means you have gluten... -
I also want to mention that one medium coconut has about 36g of dietary fiber, which is a lot, so the bloating could also be due to having so much fiber. If you do eat processed coconut, as @trents mentioned, be sure it is not contaminated and is gluten-free, and even then, perhaps eat less of it due to its high fiber content.

Produce Packaging, Inc. of Willoughby Hills, OH is voluntarily recalling its Red Curry Grain Bowl and Barcelona Vinaigrette Grain Bowl. These are being recalled because they contain an undeclared allergen (wheat), that was not listed on the product label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of a serious or life-threatening...

Purging after going gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to RedFacedJock's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Soy is technically gluten-free, but is a common allergen, as are corn and cow's milk. Perhaps keep a food diary and eliminate the main allergens one at a time, then add them back after a couple of weeks to see if you can find a connation to the face rash? -
I think those would be definite signs of healing, and this was much like what happened in my case as well.

Both myself and my daughter have been taking GliadinX for years now (full disclosure they are a sponsor of this site), and both of us stopped having issues that we otherwise would have from time to time after eating at restaurants. We eat out 1-2 times a week, and over the course of a month one or both of us would encounter cross-contamination and usually...

Is Malibu Rum Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
We were able to verify this on their site (not easy to find), and updated this list...thank you! -
I think it would make sense for you to keep a food diary to see if you can find a common link with your reaction and a particular food. From your list, corn stands out as a common issue for many celiacs. Perhaps start by eliminating it for a couple of weeks, then add it back. You could then do this for other foods.
-
Agreed, it should be gluten-free.
-
I gained a fair amount of weight over the 2-3 years after I went gluten-free, which I wasn't able to do before going gluten-free. Nearly all my symptoms went away during that time as well.
-
So your call here, and sorry to worry you. For what it's worth I've never had a follow up endoscopy, and had serious villous atrophy, but none of my doctors every offered any follow up. It sounds like your doctor is doing things by the book, with is refreshing to hear, considering the number of stories we hear here in which celiacs get little or no follow...
-
The risk factors are still low overall, but you were asking whether or not you should wait until the 2 year mark to get a follow up endoscopy, and my though was why wait if your doctor recommends it now?

Welcome to the forum! The article below will help you avoid gluten, which is very important if you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Either condition can affect your mental health. If you have celiac disease, then vitamin and mineral deficiencies are likely, which can also affect your mental health and well being, so it would...

Most of the research we've summarized indicates that the risks associated with celiac disease, for example the higher risk of intestinal lymphoma, typically occur within a year of diagnosis. While the overall risk for it is still low, my thought on this would be that if you ever get a follow up biopsy, then it might make sense to get it sooner rather than...
