    So now you will need to continue eating gluten until your biopsy is completed. Let us know how it turns out, but given your stong positive tTG results it seems that you do have an answer.

    There are many examples in this forum of doctors who don't even want to share positive celiac disease test results with their patients because they've deemed the diet too difficult for them...hard to believe but this still happens far too often. Also, this recent article series by Jean Duane PhD captures some of the social issues surrounding the gluten...

    More information about "High Rate of Celiac Disease in Autoimmune Hepatitis Patients"
    Celiac.com 07/14/2021 - Prior efforts to determine rates of celiac disease in individuals with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have shown highly variable data. To get better data and develop a clearer picture of the issue, a team of researchers...

    Vodka is gluten-free no matter it's source, did you mean to say "former" here?

    I am not sure what you mean when you say "Since the wheat plant modifications cannot be reversed," as wheat is not genetically modified. It has be hybridized over many years using standard hybridization techniques, but all wheat is currently non-GMO. There is ongoing research now to genetically modify wheat to remove gliadin and make it non-toxic to celiacs...

    Welcome to the forum, and unfortunately the original posters here are no longer following this thread. I don't know much about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but are you gluten-free because you have celiac disease, or are you self diagnosed with non-celiac gluten sensitivity? Also, there are many gluten-free pizza options available, although...

    This is one half of the DQ2 heterodimer.

    On a side note, with your current genetic results it looks like your odds of having celiac disease are 1:842 (0.05%), which is a bit higher risk than what you shared (1:1800):

    I think just using the bake setting makes sense, as you likely could not ever clear the insides of the fan area. You could also cover some things with foil or use casserole type pots with lids. It does seem like any gluten would eventually break down after regular use, and after running the cleaning cycle enough times.

    It is possible, as you've now removed a serious stressor on your body, but definitely discuss this with your doctor as it could also be unrelated and caused by something else.

    I've never heard that mushrooms could contain any gluten, even if they were grown on wheat and/or barley. If you simply wash them before use they should be gluten-free. This sounds like a similar version of an age-old myth that strawberries could contain gluten because they might use wheat straw under the plants. I don't believe that either claim would hold...

    I will take a stab at some of your questions, but keep in mind that the responses can vary greatly for each person: 1) The main pain I had wasn't in my stomach, but was in my lower-right side. I had serious visible lesions when I had my biopsy, so as that began to heal the pain gradually went away. Some people who had stomach issues reported that they...

    This is interesting because I too went to the emergency room on at least two occasions before my diagnosis in the mid 1990's because of what seemed to be an irregular heart beat. They didn't find anything, but I definitely felt like it was heart arrhythmia. The symptom went away after going gluten-free. I learned years later when we summarized some research...

    Since you were recently diagnosed with celiac disease and Vitamin D deficiency, it's likely that you have other vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well. It seems like a good multivitamin & mineral supplement would be a good start, and you likely need additional individual supplements like B12. Recovery can take time, and it's important that your diet...

    It sounds like good news! I'm surprised that Sweden isn't better, as Scandinavian countries have the highest rates of celiac disease, and they supposedly have a much higher awareness of it. In any case, you may want to look into GliadinX enzymes, they are a sponsor here, but they have been shown in multiple studies to break down small amounts of gluten in...

    That's funny because they are a Canadian company!

    More information about "Persistently Low Positive TGA-IgA Titers in Symptomatic Children Warrants Testing for Celiac Disease"
    Celiac.com 07/12/2021 - When doctors test symptomatic children for celiac disease, they currently order biopsy confirmation only for children whose anti-transglutaminase IgA (TGA-IgA) titers exceed the upper limit of normal (ULN), and...

    Given your symptoms, and elevated "weak positive" results, it would make sense for you to go gluten-free to see if it helps resolve your symptoms. I realize that this was your first screening, but this new study is interesting because it finds that most kids with persistently high antibodies in the weak positive range do in fact have celiac disease: It...

    I think you might mean reovirus:

    There isn't a specific timeline that would be the same for everyone, and, of course, it varies greatly depending on how strict your gluten-free diet is. I recall that it took some people several months to a year to drop that much. Also, it seems that in some people casein sensitivity can keep TTG levels from dropping to normal levels, so some people may also...

    We will be doing a summary of this recent study, and it's focused on kids, but I think it's important and can apply to many cases of "weak positive" results for TTG: https://journals.lww.com/jpgn/Abstract/2021/05000/Diagnostic_Value_of_Persistently_Low_Positive.16.aspx
