  1. Celiac.com 07/30/2021 (Revised 08/10/2021) - 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 pizza. Recent news that California...
  2. In super sensitive people, like those with dermatitis herpetiformis, it might matter. Skin contact does matter for many of them, and "experts" have claimed for years that skin contact with gluten does not matter to those with either celiac disease or DH. No studies have been done on this that I know of, and Celiac.com takes the position that those with gluten...
  3. Most cases of this go away on their own, and it is treatable. From the CDC site above: "Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. They should speak with their doctor about return to exercise or sports."
  4. Thanks for pointing this study out, and it does reveal what I and many others on this forum have known for a long time. Many doctors don't even know that their patients need to be eating gluten regularly before you can test for celiac disease, so imagine how many people are being told that they don't have celiac disease because of their false-negative results...
  5. I hope that you're diet is 100% gluten-free, and if not, that is the first place to start. Also, do you work out or get regular exercise? I find that when I don't exercise enough I get fatigued easily. Another thing to consider would be additional food intolerance issues, like casein/dairy.
  6. Celiac.com 07/29/2021 - Ukko, a company focused on developing artificial-intelligence designed products and solutions to food allergies, just announced a successful $40 million funding round. Their first effort will be to develop...
  7. Yes, this seems to be a common issue reported here, which can also be related to untreated celiac disease or gluten intolerance. My daughter has non-celiac gluten sensitivity and her primary symptom before going gluten-free was the feeling that food was stuck in her throat, which caused her to have issues swallowing.
  8. How long ago did she get her second dose? It sounds like it was recently, and if so how could her cardiologist make the determination that your daughter’s case is “chronic,” rather than transient, which is true of most cases that are vaccine related? This is what I’d ask her cardiologist.
  9. That is a sad story indeed, but I just want to point out that dementia or Alzheimer's can affect even those who are gluten-free. In your mother's case, given that she apparently had untreated gluten sensitivity it certainly could have been a factor in her decline and poor quality of life.
  10. Celiac.com 07/28/2021 - 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 baby formula. Specifically, which top brands of baby formula...
  11. I recall getting stomach issues when I had bad allergies that clogged up my nose. It was cased by the nasal drainage. Perhaps when you have a cold you have the same issue, which can case stomach upset?
  12. Celiac.com 07/27/2021 - Rising costs for gluten-free wholesale ingredients, like rice flour, are driving up prices and leading manufacturers to look for solutions. The solution for some, might lie in changing recipes. Rising prices...
  13. It matters because this forum is about helping people make good health choices, and not bad ones. We regularly tell people with celiac disease who eat gluten and cheat on their diets that they should not do this because it could lead to all types of health problems and health risks, including cancer. Is this unkind? Likewise, if it's unkind to point...
  14. Welcome to the forum! Frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes, which is a condition that is also associated with celiac disease (rates of Type 1 diabetes are much higher among celiacs and vice versa), so be sure to ask your doctor to check you for this. The lung issues you describe would not be a typical symptom of celiac disease, and given...
  15. To me it looks like the most important test was positive: Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Ab, even though it is a "weak positive" it is still positive. If your doctor is willing to re-run the blood panel it may make sense to do it again, and you need to keep eating about 2 sliced of wheat bread daily for at least 6-8 weeks before the test, and at least 2 weeks...
  16. Starting date: July 19, 2021 Type of communication: Recall Alert sub-type: Food Recall Warning (Allergen) Subcategory: Allergen - Gluten Hazard classification: Class 3 Source of recall: Canadian Food Inspection Agency Recalling firm: Farm Boy Company Inc. Distribution: Ontario Extent...
  17. Celiac.com 07/26/2021 - Cases of chronic inflammatory autoimmune conditions, such as celiac disease are rising at a rate that concerns many researchers. To better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of celiac disease, especially...
  18. The one disadvantage to getting a diagnosis would be that both life insurance, and possibly private health insurance, could get more expensive and harder to obtain. I faced this issue with my life insurance, and now am facing it again as my policy period will come to an end.
