    If a formal diagnosis will help you stay on a gluten-free diet for life, then it would be worth doing it, but it could also mean higher private health and life insurance premiums.

    Given the wide availability of prepared gluten-free breads it seems like there isn't much talk anymore about bread machines, but 10+ years ago they were all the rage. We did do a product review ad for Panasonic's machine, which included some gluten-free bread settings:

    I've been eating their bread for years without any issues, and I get the two loaves at Costco for a much better price than any other gluten-free bread I can find. As you know, its also a whole grain bread, which is great. The only issues I've noticed is that occasionally there are large air bubbles in some of the loaves, which can be annoying, but I...

    One of the worst symptoms I had, which took many years to go away, was severe muscle knots in my neck and shoulders which caused me to have stiff necks often...really bad ones. Proper supplementation is essential to recovery, so be sure that you are taking a good, gluten-free multivitamin with minerals. Taking magnesium citrate, vitamin D, and extra B12 helped...

    There are lots of places where there could be hidden gluten, so this article might be helpful:

    A positive Ttg-IGA test, even a weak one, still would indicated celiac disease, as this test is very specific for it.

    Here are some recent articles we've done on current labelling proposals:

    Welcome to the forum! Some people claim that coffee is a "cross-reactor" to gluten, and celiacs should avoid it. It's unclear what "cross-reactor" is meant, and I am skeptical about coffee causing issues with celiac, as it is gluten-free. However, if you were recently diagnosed and your gut is still not healed, then many foods, including coffee, might...

    Welcome to the forum! That does seem like an odd result, and might mean that your anti-gliadin iga is really high for it to register, as having low iga would normally lower the sensitivity of the test for it, making the results appear lower than they really are. Did your doctor run any other blood tests for celiac disease? Feel free to share their...

    This is an older article, but may still be helpful:

    You might have missed the part about "The problem was that they family had to wait in line for about 20 minutes, and most of the choices were gone by the time they got to the front." In any case, stories like this will hopefully encourage other celiac travelers to pack extra gluten-free food on any plane trip, just in case things don't go as planned, so how...

    Dapsone does work well for DH, but it does have some pretty serious side-effects, and for some they can be lifelong, so be sure to talk to your doctor and read up on it before using it. I've heard that over the counter Ben-Gay helps, but I never tried that. I think the best way to deal with DH is a 100% gluten-free diet. I only had DH on one spot on the back...

    I think the covid-19 research is coming out, just slowly. When it is published we do summarize it, and here are some past summaries: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=covid-19&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_in=titles

    Millet is considered gluten-free for those with celiac disease and has been on our safe list for over 25 years:

    I agree with @trents and it seems like your doctor may not be up on the latest with celiac disease, and perhaps her diet isn't 100% gluten-free, especially if you're eating outside your home. This article may help:

    We've got an article here somewhere on the genetic stats, but this is developing and more genetic markers are being discovered. The ~23% would be those who have at least one genetic marker that could trigger celiac disease. Also, it turns out that the genetic markers for celiac disease may have been inherited from Neanderthals, which is interesting. And yes...

    It is pretty common for some with celiac disease to have a delay in the onset of symptoms after eating gluten, and symptoms can change over time. It's probably too late at this point, but this article might help should you get contamination again:
  18. Scott Adams
    Links are not evidence...I would only add that only published studies on this should be shared, not anecdotal evidence. There is also such a thing called coincidence, and when hundreds of millions of people are getting a shot, even if that shot were just secretly full of water, there would be many people making all sorts of claims about the negative health...

    I don’t think millet is in the rice family so should be ok: https://pediaa.com/what-is-the-difference-between-rice-and-millet/amp/

    I used to have a dermatitis herpetiformis rash on my hand, and recall that the itchiness would always happen before the rash appeared.
  21. Scott Adams
    Welcome! I’m not sure how sensitive you are to gluten, but try not to worry too much because it won’t help you. Many celiacs make mistakes and get accidental contamination from time to time, but in the long run it’s very important for you to avoid it to stay healthy.

    I think you need to ask yourself whether or not you would need a formal diagnosis in order to stay on a gluten-free diet for life. To me it sounds like you wouldn’t, and getting the diagnosis comes with some drawbacks like more expensive private health and life insurance…for life.

    Welcome to the forum. Be sure to discuss your new symptoms with your doctor, of course it could be something worse, but this article may also be helpful, and covers some of the things @cristiana mentions, plus more:

    I too had issues with many foods, including vegetables like tomatoes and garlic, until my gut healed. It might help you to take some enzymes to help you digest, at least until you can heal your gut, which can take 1-2 years.
