Your daughter is no expert on vaccines, sorry. But let's not forget--you are here seeking to find a doctor who will write you a note to excuse your daughter from getting a vaccine when she goes back to a university, where she will be interacting with dozens of people daily. The reason you will have a hard time finding a doctor to do this is because you could...

Five Gluten-Free Cocktails with Bombay Sapphire Gin
Scott Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Celiac.com 07/23/2021 - Even with a clear statement by the FDA that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we still get a lot of questions about alcohol, and cocktails. Specifically, which brands of alcohol and cocktails are gluten-free... -

Been googling and now paranoid
Scott Adams replied to Lauraclay's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the forum! While it's possible for someone with celiac disease, especially if left untreated, to get lymphoma, it is still highly unlikely. Also, from the studies we've summarized here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/cancer-lymphoma-and-celiac-disease/ the overall risk seems to diminish over... -
Is Dunkin' Donuts Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
At least one person has reported that a pre-packaged gluten-free brownie is available in some Dunkin' Donuts locations. -
Dr Peter McCullough, according to his own bio anyway, is an internist and cardiologist, not a virologist or infectious disease doctor. His bio does not mention being an epidemiologist, but, even it he is, that still would not give him the expertise needed to be taken seriously in the field of virology. His opinion on the topic of virology is one of a...

New to the diet
Scott Adams replied to Don97's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You are correct that some people might get a reaction to 20ppm, however, most won't, and items with "gluten-free" are not fortified with gluten up 19ppm, which seems to be the perception among many celiacs. In many cases keeping manufactured foods below 20ppm is not much different from keeping them below 5ppm, and the companies in fact are likely aiming... -
Most don’t but some do. If you have celiac disease you should never eat gluten. I would not recommend it even for those who are just gluten sensitive, but in theory their health risks are lower than those with celiac disease.

New to the diet
Scott Adams replied to Don97's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, in the USA if labeled gluten-free they must test below 20ppm, which is considered a safe level for celiacs. Super sensitive celiacs often only eat certified gluten-free products, which certify to less that 10ppm. -
Sorry, but the link you shared doesn't cut it. It's too bad you can't differentiate between scientific publications and good data vs. non-scientific and bad data. I wish you and your daughter well, and that if you get covid-19 you will be in the group of those who have minor symptoms.

Luckily your new doctor can't insist that you don't go gluten-free! 😉

Celiac.com 07/22/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about donuts. Not just donuts, but Dunkin' Donuts. Specifically, is... -
So you ate regular gluten-containing pizza? If so, I'm just curious why you would do that? There are lots of gluten-free choices out there, even one that contains wheat starch and tastes like real pizza:

Pain & Numbness on one side of body
Scott Adams replied to BNGed8's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I believe that the supplements are probably gluten-free, and would not throw them out, but perhaps switch over to a brand that has "gluten-free" on the label. -
Thanks for clarifying her situation, and it sounds like she's been diagnosed with refractory celiac disease, and she's not recovered with a gluten-free diet. We have articles on this here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/ and this article indicates that Tioguinine...

One other thing that helps with the brain fog, at least for me and others here, is turmeric. Even though I'm gluten-free I take organic turmeric each day with breakfast. It reduces inflammation, and I believe has helped improve my memory. As with everything, just be sure the turmeric you get is gluten-free, as I've heard that it can also be contaminated.

I take AN-PEP enzymes (GliadinX...they are a site sponsor here) before any meal outside my home, as they've been shown in several studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, like you might get in a cross-contamination situation eating out. Nowadays there are apps to help you find restaurants with gluten-free menus, and I would try...

I think this symptom, and the brain fog, are possible reasons why so many doctors try to prescribe anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, etc., and try to explain gluten sensitivity away as a psychological issue.

Hi Alan, welcome to the forum! I think that your health is your first concern, and to me it sounds like you are doing a very good job taking care of yourself, which will probably help you a great deal with managing your school life. You've got lots of time to date and meet others, so I would not worry too much about this aspect of life. Believe it or...

Yes, welcome! The 2nd worse symptom to my diarrhea was vertigo, or the feeling like things were spinning or I was falling, which also caused me to have panic attacks. The good news is that going gluten-free should fairly quickly resolve your symptoms, but be sure you fully understand the gluten-free diet. This article might help:
