    I know people can be very picky about their pasta...has your husband tried Barilla or Schar gluten-free pastas? Many non-gluten-free people can't tell the difference. I wonder if he'd switch over?

    Gluten has been linked to dozens of issues which you can read more about in the category below, but I've not seen research on it being linked to granuloma annulare. It's certainly possible though. /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/

    If the cause of your symptoms is gluten, and it certainly sounds like some of your symptoms are gluten-related, as they improved on a gluten-free diet, then normally you would see some improvement by now. But if you have celiac disease, you could have flattened villi which will take time to heal, and it can take up to 2 years to recover, although most celiacs...

    I've not heard of either prescriptions as being common for celiacs, and it looks like vilafinil keeps you awake and alert, and modafinil has similar properties. The side effects of taking these can definitely cause sleep issues. Have you tried melatonin to help you sleep? It is a natural hormone widely available here in the USA, and is considered non-habit...

    Although your symptoms if you eat any gluten may be mild, all the negative heath consequences if you to eat any gluten are still the same, so hopefully you fully avoid it. It sound like you could have vitamin and mineral deficiencies that often come with celiac disease. Are you taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement that includes a B- complex,...

    Just FYI, we just published this article so the trend to use blood tests only to diagnose celiac disease seems to be gaining more traction:

    Welcome to the forum! This article may help you, and it has a GF Kitchen section in it:

    I definitely understand why you may not trust certain products, and cross-contamination can be an issue. It's highly unlikely that naturally gluten-free items like mayonnaise would be contaminated, especially if you use large brands like Kraft Foods that do proper allergen labelling. You may want to stick with certified gluten-free products, which use a higher...

    We offer tons of recipes here: /celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and I tried to use this search to more easily find those with almond flour: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="almond flour"&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and

    It's very likely that they do use gluten-free oats, otherwise they would not be able to include "gluten-free" on their labels. However, around 9% of celiacs also react to the protein in oats (avenin), which is considered to be a secondary food intolerance. She may be in the category.

    I agree that the average time to heal has been cited as 2 years in at least one study, and agree with @cristiana that this is usually based on how severe a person's case of villous atrophy is upon diagnosis, however, after many years of experience I've also seen that most people do not fully understand what is required of them to be 100% gluten-free. For...

    Thanks for the warning. Have you tried to communicate this to Trader Joe's? I'm just curious how they handle these things. At the very least it seems like they should pull some samples and have them tested.

    You were never tested for any of what you are claiming here, but are throwing around lots of ideas like "my body became acidic" and that milk caused this condition, as though it is generally accepted by doctors and science, but I can assure you that the alkaline diet is currently looked at as psuedoscience by the scientific community: https://www.webmd...

    Good to know!

    So malt syrup can come from rice or other gluten-free grains, and if it says "gluten-free" on the label that would likely be the case, but the company would be wise to label it fully, by including the source, for example: malt (from rice).
  16. Scott Adams
    If there is any added wheat it must be disclosed on their ingredient label with "Contains: Wheat." It's possible that the gluten might come from a barley ingredient, for example malt extract, and then this would not be required. Hopefully this loophole in current labelling laws can one day be corrected.

    I just want to mention that lactic acidosis and lactose intolerance are two very different things, and you often switch back and forth when describing them, and when you give advice to others. You've not been diagnosed with either, so it's really hard to know for sure exactly why cutting out dairy is help you, but like @trents mentioned, I strongly suspect...
  18. Scott Adams
    As far as I know @HectorConvector hasn't been diagnosed with lactic acidosis, and before altering your diet to treat something you haven't been diagnosed with, it would be best to first get tested for it. According to this article "Lactic acidosis is diagnosed through a fasting blood test." https://www.healthline.com/health/lactic-acidosis#diagnosis ...
  19. Scott Adams
    @Jackie Garrett, neither of your links you posted support your idea here that "by adding more Lactic acid through Cheese which contains even more you could be overloading your system." In some people ingesting lactic acid can cause gas and bloating, but for most people ingesting lactic acid actually aids digestion, promotes nutrient absorption and gut health...

    Do you have some sort of supporting links for this theory? Please include some scientific studies to back up such broad claims.
  21. Scott Adams
    Please let us know how this works for you...and I hope it goes well!

    This is a re-publication from 2005, which I just added to clarify...NCGS was not known at the time, and the idea of gluten sensitivity outside of celiac disease was also little known.
  23. Scott Adams
    After hearing of artists who had many different health issues, including mental issues, for example Vincent van Gogh, I sometimes wonder if they had celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? Of course there is no way to know for sure, but I'll admit that I look through this lens now at many things, art included.
  24. Scott Adams
    Have you tried either of these diets?
  25. Scott Adams
    Perhaps consider this diet for a while, and/or a low FODMAP diet, and if nothing is working her doctors need to consider Refractory Celiac Disease, which a very small percentage of celiacs have:
