    It's hard to tell from the images, and the rashes could certainly be caused by other things line shingles or allergies. Do the rashes include tiny, clear blisters that are extremely itchy? Also, it would make sense for you to get a celiac disease blood panel done, and these can be ordered by your doctor, or online for under $100.

    Personally I take GliadinX, which is an AN-PEP based enzyme that is also a sponsor here, whenever I eat outside my home. Before I did this I had issues on a regular basis, after I've not had issues. It's been shown in quite a few peer reviewed studies to break down small amounts of gluten in your stomach, before it reaches your intestines. You can read the...

    You have 3 "weak" positive tests for celiac disease. Just one could mean that you have it. Were you eating 2 slices of wheat bread daily in the 6-8 weeks leading up to each test? This is the protocol, and if you were not, and were eating a low gluten diet it could explain these results. To me your results mean that you likely have celiac disease and...

    Psyllium powder is being used more and more in gluten-free products as an excellent source of fiber. I do believe that regular use of it can reduce inflammation, especially in those who don't get enough fiber in their diets (most celiacs). Just be careful and make sure you get Psyllium that is labelled "gluten-free," as it can be cross contaminated with gluten...

    Researchers have a pretty good understanding of celiac disease, and why certain genetically susceptible people get it (various triggers have been identified, including viruses), but I don't buy the part about gluten eating viruses that cause intestinal damage, as this would be a fairly easy thing to detect, and I've not seen any studies that indicate that...

    We published an article years ago that said the average time to recover from celiac disease is two years. That said, if your diet has been 100% gluten-free, usually meaning that you don't eat outside your home, I believe it would still be unusual to have the ongoing symptoms you describe. You could have additional food intolerances, and this article might...

    A word of caution regarding psyllium...be sure it says "gluten-free" on it, and most people use psyllium powder now, as it is easier to drink or add to a shake. I ordered some recently that did not have "gluten-free" on the package, only to test it for gluten using my Nima Sensor, and it tested positive for gluten. The cross-contamination likely happened...

    I have not heard the aspirin causes gut inflammation, and I’ve seen studies that show the opposite, and that it actually lowers your risk of colon cancer.

    This list is for foods, but it may be helpful. If you have a specific question about an ingredient feel free to post it here.

    On this site you can search for your medications and see their ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

    Yes, hopefully you were, but if not it could create false negative results. Also, ~10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity rather than celiac disease, and currently there is no test for this. If you were eating gluten daily before all of your testing was done, then your next step would be trying a gluten-free diet to see if your symptoms...

    It would be a good idea to review all ingredients in the product. Some gluten-free flours now use legume flours, which some people are allergic to, but there are probably other ingredients used as well.

    You should read Part 1! 😀 We'll be posting it next month.

    There are many gluten-free cookbooks available. We also offer an extensive free recipe section here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/

    The ingredients listed are: so it looks to be naturally gluten-free. I suppose contamination at the manufacturing facility could be possible. If you are worried about that just go with a brand that has "gluten-free" on its label.

    We've not seen a research article on that topic, but if there is one available we'd be interested in it. This is the source of this article: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms22020595

    Welcome to the forum, and it's interesting that a mistaken check box led you to get a diagnosis. Many celiacs are asymptomatic, so that part isn't unusual, but most do notice that they did actually have symptoms but just didn't realize it, and this also is true in your case. If you're fine with a gluten-free diet, there isn't a need for the endoscopy, but...

    Charcuterie L. Fortin Ltée. is recalling Charcuterie Fortin brand Salami from the marketplace because it may contain wheat which is not declared on the label. People who have an allergy to wheat or have celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders should not consume the recalled product described below. The following product has been sold in Quebec....

    Yeast extract is another term for MSG, and some people are sensitive to it even though it’s gluten-free. This article may be helpful:

    This slice is gluten-free of course!

    I'm sure you will hear from others, but I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NSXBYVV/ as they contain Bifidobacterium Infantis, which has been shown in several studies to be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=Infantis&quick=1

    I got mine removed about 5 years ago, and ~21 years after my diagnosis. It would be interesting if there were a connection, but so far I haven't seen a medical study on this. One thing I've seen over and over on this forum, but also haven't seen any studies on, is that the gall bladder removal rate seems very high among celiacs. The evidence is mostly anecdotal...

    Can we assume that you are certain that they are gluten-free? It is possible that a batch got contaminated.

    Thanks for this recipe!
