    This article may also be helpful to teach you more about the standard blood testing procedure:

    Welcome to the forum @Emjean, it seems that your current experiment with a gluten-free diet might at least have guided you to a possible cause of your symptoms, and to get tested for celiac disease via endoscopy you'd need to eat 2 slices of wheat bread a day (or equivalent) for at least 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy, but if it turns out negative you could...

    I never tried it, but have heard that Ben-Gay cream helps.

    Most definitely, and we have summarized the important ones over the years in these two categories: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/schizophrenia-mental-problems-and-celiac-disease/ /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/depression-and-celiac-disease/

    It can definitely cause swelling. Whenever I get cross-contamination, at least before I began taking AN-PEP enzymes, my abdomen would swell up for at least 2-3 days. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with water retention.

    I only had it on the back of my thumb, but I recall that when if flared up any tough whatsoever made it worse. Scratching it, which is all I wanted to do, was the worst, as it broke the blisters and made it looks horrible, and it still itched just the same.

    This is actually a very commonly asked question here, and you can see this as there are over 1,000 posts about it: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=kissing&quick=1 I think it's definitely important for celiacs to avoid regular amounts of cross-contamination, which could happen when you are kissing. This is another of those sensitive topics...

    Since your original biopsy results indicate celiac disease your doctor should have made that diagnosis back then, and you should have gone gluten-free at that time. It's a total mystery why they would not diagnose you based on your biopsy results, which, especially at that time, was the gold standard of diagnosis. PS - To do any further testing for celiac...

    Please share your clinical trial experiences with us if you can!

    Yes, this is mentioned in the article.

    Soy sauce can definitely contain gluten, so consider brining your own gluten-free version if you want to eat out and not miss it (more and more places now have a GF version on hand). If possible, please let us know the brand of rice wine your Japanese restaurant uses which contains gluten. I'm not trying to argue, but am only concerned about possibly...

    Most ELF products are gluten-free, but since all are not, we removed them.

    Let us know how things go, and good luck!

    For those in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity spectrum, I definitely believe that there is a very wide spectrum of symptoms and health issues associated with eating gluten, and migraine headaches have been shown in numerous studies to be related to those with untreated celiac disease: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders...

    Here is a link you could bookmark, but to me it sounds like you need to upgrade the browser on your device to the newest version: https://www.celiac.com/notifications/

    It certainly could be, but the only way to know for sure would be to get a celiac disease blood panel, and to do that you would need to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed. Here is some more info about the blood tests:

    If you could share your blood test results, along with the reference ranges it would be helpful, otherwise we can't really comment on them. Were you eating gluten daily until the blood tests were done? If not you could get false-negative results. Also, keep in mind that around 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease...

    This symptom has been reported in this forum pretty often, but like most symptoms it will usually go away after a while on a gluten-free diet (sometimes it takes 1 year or more, but it depends on how strict your diet is). Some of the older posts on this topic might be helpful as well: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=emptying&quick=1&...

    It's not clear from your post whether or not you're gluten-free, but clearly if you have celiac disease and are not 100% gluten-free that would be your first step to avoid diarrhea. You may also need to eliminate oats, as some celiacs cannot tolerate them. If you are gluten-free and still have this issue, perhaps you have additional food intolerance...

    I'm a taco expert! First, be sure to get corn tortillas that are labelled "gluten-free," and I use Guerrero or Mission brand. Heat a skillet (I use an iron one) until it is very hot, then add about a teaspoon of oil (I use light olive oil for frying), and throw the tortilla on it and move it around to soak up the oil evenly. Watch the tortilla closely...

    Celiac disease causes dental enamel issues in many who are undiagnosed, and if you have it and are not gluten-free while your teeth are developing it can cause specific defects, and here are some research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=enamel&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles It's unclear what happens...

    Welcome to the forum! Just to be clear, you do not have celiac disease but may have gluten sensitivity and are thinking of going grain-free. Going grain-free does usually make it hard for you to get enough carbohydrates, and there are many other gluten-free grains you could try if your goal is only to eliminate gluten for a few months to see if it helps relieve...

    I've never seen a rice wine or rice vinegar that contains gluten. Also, I think the topic was Thai food, which has far less gluten possibilities when prepared traditionally. Fish sauce is widely used, and some fish sauces do contain gluten. There are Asian fermented grain vinegars that may contain gluten, just like there are in Western cooking. Also...

    I agree that this situation could be fixed relatively easily, at least in comparison to the food industry. Simply requiring all pill form prescription meds to be gluten-free, and free of the top 8 allergens would be a good start.
