    I had a minor case of DH that did improve in the weeks after I went gluten-free. I don't recall it getting worse unless I got gluten in my diet. Of course the main thing is to be sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free, because even tiny trace amounts could cause you issues. Eating at restaurants, for example, could lead to contamination and flare ups.

    If you have celiac disease you should be 100% gluten-free, and avoid even sourdough bread if it's made with gluten. Did your doctor not explain this to you? If you continue to eat gluten you run the risk of getting many associated diseases and disorders, including but not limited to intestinal lymphoma.
  3. Scott Adams
    Yes, be sure all supplements and medications you take are also gluten-free. Most celiacs do need to take supplements, especially a B-complex.

    Be sure that your toaster isn't contaminated with wheat!
  5. Scott Adams
    Yes, search all of your meds here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ Also, if you eat outside your home, and especially in restaurants, you could be getting small amounts of cross contamination which keeps the autoimmune reaction going that leads to villi damage, low iron, etc.
  6. Scott Adams
    Yes, unfortunately there is not test yet for NCGS, even though around 10x more people have it than do celiac disease.

    It would be great if you can share your results here, including the reference ranges, as each lab is different. From what you've described, you have a positive blood test for celiac disease, and this could explain your low iron issue. It only takes one positive test to be diagnosed, but the normal procedure would be to schedule an endoscopy to confirm your...

    The intestinal lymphoma you are worried about is still rare, even among celiacs, and the good news is that research has shown that once you go gluten-free that risk drops to near normal after a few years. The articles on this are in this category: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/cancer-lymphoma-and-celiac-disease/

    Yes, Franz...and here is their site: https://franzglutenfree.com/

    Yes, you have 2 very strong positive test results, and even if just one were positive it would indicate celiac disease: Gluten IgG: 10.6 (Standard range <2.0 mcg/mL) Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA: 19 (Standard range U/mL <4 No Antibody detected, > Or = 4 Antibody detected) It's possible that your doctor may want you to do...

    Welcome to the forum! We have a PhD who has written extensively about this topic for Celiac.com, and you can find her articles here: I think you are very lucky that they're willing to go out of their way for you, and seem to understand why it's necessary. I also know just how you feel, and probably every celiac does...most of the time you probably...

    Given everything you've described, and the fact that you're in another country for so long, it probably makes sense to just stay gluten-free. Since you were not eating gluten for a while before your celiac tests, it's likely your results would have been much higher than were recorded.

    It's probably a little late for this, but...

    During the time period after my diagnosis when I had a temporary cow’s milk intolerance, I could tolerate sheep’s and goat’s milk. I did not have an allergy to cow’s milk though.

    I doubt anyone could give you a single answer that would satisfy every recipe in the book, as I believe that each recipe would require its own approach with how to replace any main ingredient used in it. To me it sounds like you might need to get a different book that does not use nut flours as a basis, but I’m sure you could figure out a way to replace n...

    Is it possible that you’re getting small amounts of gluten contamination in your diet, perhaps if you eat outside your home, or via a medication or supplement?
  17. Scott Adams
    Possibly. Where do those fit who are just below the cut off on their antibody tests? They don't have celiac disease, but are having an autoimmune reaction to gluten...just not strong enough to call celiac disease.
  18. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum. Note that you do need to be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before doing any blood tests for celiac disease, otherwise you may end up with false negative results.

    Here are some possible ideas that have helped those with gluten sensitivity who accidently eat gluten:

    I've never been to Estonia, but I did a quick Google search and there does appear to be some gluten-free options: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/ee/tallinn
  21. Scott Adams
    I agree with your doctor and your symptoms sound very typical of celiac disease symptoms. Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all of your testing is completed, otherwise you may end up with false negative results. Also many celiacs don’t have any symptoms so the fact that you do have classic symptoms definitely means you should get a blood screening f...

    Another thing to know is that ~10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than celiac disease, but there is still no test for NCGS.
  23. Scott Adams
    I don’t believe I’ve heard of a cheese that would test above 20ppm. I will see if I can find this one out of pure curiosity and use my last test on it if I can.
  24. Scott Adams
    I had two skin symptoms before I discovered that I had celiac disease, and one was blepharitis (eyelid inflammation and rash), which, after going gluten-free, would flare up if I got any cross-contamination, and dermatitis herpetiformis, which was only in two spot--inside by right ankle, and on the back of my right thumb. The strange thing about the DH was...

    A quick visit to their site and they do have "Gluten-Free" on their package, so they are safe: https://fishernuts.com/
