    I doubt it contains gluten, of course it is a possibility, but the company is very good about labelling products that contain allergens, and you can read about it here: https://www.thehersheycompany.com/en_us/home/ingredients/allergens.html

    This interesting study indicates that doctors need to take more seriously persistently elevated antibodies, even if they are in the negative range, but elevated. Since her antibodies are on the lower side consistently the doctors may want to do a biopsy to confirm a diagnosis. Given that she did have one weak positive test, carries two genetic markers for...

    There is research that shows a connection between kidney disease and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/ and we just published this interesting study summary:

    Good point @Linda Hannibal, and welcome to the forum! It's a good idea to keep a food diary to make sure you don't have additional food intolerance issues, as many newly diagnosed celiac often do. Some may be temporary and go away after a year or more on a gluten-free diet, as was the case with several that I had.

    For those with gluten sensitivity there may be varieties of wheat that some can tolerate, however, in general, even they should avoid all types of wheat.

    Perhaps you have a chicken egg allergy, which is used in some types of flu vaccine: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/how-fluvaccine-made.htm It looks like there are types that don't use it, and you may want to ask your doctor about the Recombinant Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/qa_flublok-vaccine.htm

    It does seem possible...please let us know how it turns out!

    You're looking at two different cases within the article. Sunflower oil does contain essential fatty acids, just not omega-3 fatty acids. In the first case, skin application of sunflower oil helped "A 10-year-old girl suffering from cholestasis, fat malabsorption, growth failure, and essential fatty acid deficiency." In the second case the second group was...

    Is there a chance you could share the celiac blood test results? Sometimes a doctor may say they are "negative," when they may be a weak positive, or just under the cut off for celiac disease. Elevated antibodies to gliadin isn't normal for anyone, so the results could provide some clues.

    Below is a search of titles with "B12" in them. Perhaps you can find it here? https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=B12&quick=1&search_in=titles

    No, it's sold as a supplement because the main enzyme in it called AN-PEP has been used for decades in the beer brewing industry as a clarifying agent, and it thus widely available. This fact makes it something that can't be patented and protected as a prescription drug, thus, pharmaceutical companies are not likely to invest in it as it is already being...

    I think you would need to contact the makers directly to find out for sure. I did do some searching and couldn't find info on those brands. Here is an article we did that may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/which-liqueurs-are-gluten-free-r5436/

    Interesting symptom, and it sounds like it may not be linked to your celiac disease given that you've been gluten-free for so long, and your blood tests have shown that it's under control. Have you noticed any other foods that you eat that affect this? Perhaps you should keep a food diary to see if there is any connection? Also, have you discussed this symptom...

    According to its ingredients it looks like it is naturally gluten-free: https://shop.silverpalate.com/Spin-Blend-Original-Salad-Dressing/p/SIL-13001&c=SilverPalate@SpinBlend

    It looks like this original post is still unanswered. I'm not aware of gluten being used in contact lenses, but I suppose it is possible. The only people who could answer this would be the manufacturer. I'm sure trying to reach J&J to find this out could end up being a full time job 😉, but that would be where to begin. Is there a contact number on th...

    I know that Authentic Foods makes an outstanding line of GF flours (they've been a sponsor here for many years): https://www.glutenfree-supermarket.com/ Some of their flours are "super fine," so they might work better.

    Wow, thank you for sharing this incredibly detailed recipe! It's hard to find a good dairy-free enchilada recipe...

    Perfect timing for Thanksgiving in the USA!

    This recipe looks amazing. I'd never heard of Cloud 9 and they look to be only available in Canada. My guess is that Bob's Redmill would be a suitable replacement.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm sorry to hear that you're still having issues, and to me, it sounds like your diet may not be fully gluten-free, especially if you've been eating in restaurants. The ugly truth about most restaurants, even if they have a gluten-free menu, is that cross-contamination is still common, and the staff at most restaurants has a high...

    It's interesting that your story is similar to mine with regard to a bad case of food poisoning triggering your celiac disease. I was backpacking in Europe one summer and ate something from a cheese shop that made be very ill within a few hours. I got very sick for a few days, and afterwards never fully recovered. That began a long ~6-7 year quest to finally...

    I had similar stomach/bloating issues and these helped me a lot, but took about 2 weeks to start working: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NSXBYVV/ Also, there is some research that the amino acid supplements L-Tryptophan and L-Glutamine supplements may speed up gut healing. Last, be sure you don't have additional food intolerances, and...

    I just wanted to point out that even though your celiac disease screening indicates that you don't have it, you could still have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10x more people have than celiac disease, although there currently isn't a screening for it available (they are working on it). So if the reason you got this test was due to symptoms that might...

    If it makes the "gluten-free" claim on the container it should be gluten-free.

    I don't believe that I've seen specific studies on low white blood cell count in relation to celiac disease, however, when I searched our site for this I found many forum posts where this was indeed reported as a symptom: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="white blood cell count"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and
