    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

    We've done many articles on the connection between osteoporosis and celiac disease, which are in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/osteoporosis-osteomalacia-bone-density-and-celiac-disease/ I would definitely share any that you deem important to your situation with your doctor.

    Amazon seems to have a big selection of organic: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=chickpeas%2C+dried+bulk+organic&crid=2NKQEE4D7K716&sprefix=chickpeas%2C+dried+bulk%2Caps%2C412

    Have you tried pre- and pro-biotics? 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/

    It's true that a low FODMAP diet could help with your issues, so it is worth trying, but are you sure that your diet over the last few years has been 100% gluten-free? Do you eat outside your home, and in restaurants? If so, you may be getting small amounts of gluten contamination, which can build up over time and cause a celiac disease relapse. One way to...

    Over the years I've heard stories of good dentists who've helped members here get a celiac disease diagnosis (based on the dental defects they noticed in a regular exam), but finding them may not be easy. We've done some articles on this topic as well: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=enamel&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles

    I've heard about this, and you're correct, they do seem like they pack a lot in a small pill: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/chlorella-spirulina The only thing I'd recommend is to just make sure the ones you order are "gluten-free," as I've had bad luck lately with getting contaminated supplements (I just got some curcumin that contained...

    I agree with @yuluyouyue, also, be sure to go through this article in detail to make sure you're not getting gluten in your diet or via other ways. The most common way is eating out at restaurants, or outside your home:

    I don't believe that latex is used commonly in foods, but I could be wrong about that.

    Your symptoms could be due to untreated celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so it's good that you're getting tested for it. Interestingly the part about feeling like something was stuck in your throat reminded me of my daughter's primary symptom, and the pain in the lower-right side was a symptom I had for years before I was diagnosed. Should...

    For me it was too restrictive to maintain, but you results will be different than mine. I do rotate my diet better than before and avoid the worst offenders more now.

    I would not necessarily expect better treatment from doctors with an official diagnosis, but it’s possible you could get certain follow up tests ordered that you otherwise might not have access to. On the downside you may pay more for private health and life insurance. Keep in mind that a negative test won’t exclude non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wh...

    I did the 400 item test which isn’t cheap but it includes buckwheat and quinoa. I haven’t been following the diet so I’m still using regular butter, but there are butters made from olive oil I believe the brand is smart balance.

    Given we’re still in a pandemic more hand washing is probably a good thing, so why not?

    Given how horrible DH symptoms are, and how sure you are that it's what you have, as it goes away when you don't eat gluten, I don't see any reason to put yourself through what could end up being months of misery, just to get a formal diagnosis. Further, a formal diagnosis will also increase life, and possibly health, insurance rates, and may make policies...
