    Welcome to the forum. Feel free to share that blood test results with us, and if you do so please also share the reference ranges. Even just one positive celiac disease blood test result can indicate that you have celiac disease. The biopsy is considered the gold standard to confirm a diagnosis, however if you had two blood test results that were positive...

    Hopefully you realize that the tiny number of personal experiences that you are sharing here are scientifically insignificant. Using science and statistics is the best way to protect the most people. Using anecdotal evidence from one person is not a good way to try to protect society from a pandemic.

    How do you explain the French Paradox, where people in France have been shown to live longer than those in many other countries western countries, yet they drink large quantities of red wine per capita. Additionally the Mediterranean diet includes lots of red wine and lots of fermented vinegars, particularly balsamic vinegar. In China, Taiwan and other parts...

    Again I’m not sure that fasting will accomplish anything with regard to a person who has celiac disease. Also, keep in mind that celiac disease can go into remission in some people after being on a gluten-free diet for a long time. This forum has seen many people over the years who thought they were cured because they didn’t have any symptoms when they sta...

    If you are lucky enough to have mild or few symptoms after getting covid this may be true, but the best approach to reduce your risk of severe covid symptoms and death would be to get a safe and effective covid vaccine, rather than to get covid.

    Welcome to the forum. Have you tried any of the hypoallergenic toilet paper from Amazon? I noticed they even have some made from bamboo fiber: https://www.amazon.com/hypoallergenic-toilet-paper/s?k=hypoallergenic+toilet+paper

    The normal protocol would be to get the blood panel done first: and if you have positive results, possibly get a biopsy after.

    The Mayo clinic recommends eating at least 2 slices of bread for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening for celiac disease, and 2 weeks for an endoscope:

    Unfortunately you can't starve yourself out of having celiac disease, and yes, celiac disease is also an issue in countries where people are more likely to experience food scarcity (and may even contribute to the problem of starvation in those countries due to a lack of awareness and access to health care):

    These drinks do contain coffee.

    I will admit that I had no idea there was an island in Ohio...with its own winery!

    @LiJ if would be great if you could meet with your instructors and arrange for you to try to make gluten-free versions of all pastries. I'm not sure they'd allow it, but if so, would definitely make the time and effort you spend there more valuable for your future career.

    Given the high numbers of people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity who take, or have taken PPI's, I thought that this study might be of interest: https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-021-02180-5

    So I'm not sure how relevant this is to the original poster's request for advice. There are literally hundreds of millions of people who happily eat pastries each day and are not fat. Of course, many people may put on weight eating them or other things, but this really has nothing to do with the topic.

    You are mistaking anyone here "dissing her dream," as pursuing it in a gluten-filled environment could be harmful to her health, and may not give her the skills she will need to make gluten-free versions of wheat pastries. The original poster has come here for advice, and it is therefor fair for others here to offer it, without being shamed for doing so.

    Grindstone is great, here is their site: https://www.grindstonebakery.com/ Also, if you want to do homemade this is a hit recipe:

    This article might be helpful, however, I would not recommend #2, taking AN-PEP enzymes during a gluten challenge, as they are designed to break down gliadin and could taint any test results (even though it's doubtful they would fully break down that much gluten):

    My hope is that everyone with celiac disease would be able to decline eating gluten in social situations, but statistics have shown that around 15-20% of celiacs regularly cheat on their diets. I don't every knowingly cheat, but I do eat in restaurants regularly which means that I likely get cross contamination from time to time. For two years now I've been...

    Also, in Europe now they diagnose celiac disease using only blood tests when the tTG levels are 10x normal or higher, so it would be great if you can share your blood test results here.

    As mentioned, my symptoms included heart palpitations and vertigo that seemed to feed into panic attacks. Once I was gluten-free for a few weeks or months those symptoms went away. Clearly ER visits are expensive, so if you're still getting gluten in your diet that is causing you to go to the ER it would be worthwhile to be sure your diet is 100% a gluten...

    Welcome to the forum. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis, or are you self-diagnosed? If your rash is related to gluten it will take a few weeks on a 100% gluten-free diet to see relief. To post an image click "Choose files" and select your image, then put your mouse cursor where you want the image inserted, then click...

    I'm not expert on the ketogenic diet, and don't believe that anyone needs to fast for any reason except when a doctor requests it, for example before a colonoscopy, but if you are gluten sensitive, or if you have celiac disease, you should not eat gluten at all. If you do, fasting won't reverse any of the possible negative health effects, but may help...

    I would like to add that I don't think that a traditional "Confectionary Art" education based on learning how to make bakery products using wheat flour will help you very much when it comes to gluten-free versions. Of course there are some things you can learn that may transfer over and be helpful, but in reality you need to be focused heavily on gluten-free...

    If your daughter is IGA deficient, yet still had a positive test using Tissue Transglutaminase IGA, then it's likely her score, if she were not IGA deficient, would have been much higher. I guess I'm not buying that she is "borderline," and for sure her results are not negative. It only takes one positive blood test to indicate celiac disease, and the...

    I also thought it was the standard of practice when doing a biopsy for celiac disease, however, we've seen a lot of strange things in this forum that doctors are doing that can't be explained, for example not telling patients to eat gluten for at least two weeks before a biopsy, or for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. Many doctors, don't know the protocol for...
