    My most recent test showed my Hematocrit at 43, so no need to donate blood this time, which is the 2nd time in a row it was lower than normal. My RBC was still high at over 18%.

    More information about "Which Brands of Bacon Are Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 06/30/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about bacon. Specifically, what brands of bacon are gluten-free and safe for people...

    The Catholic church does allow for a low gluten (under 20ppm) wheat starch host.

    So 5-6g of sugar per serving would be misleading. They are made mostly of rice, which is a starch that almost instantly gets converted to sugar when you eat it, so the glycemic impact of this is much greater than just the added sugar. I've heard that eating white rice will spike your blood sugar faster than eating table sugar. I'm not sure if this statement...

    More information about "Can Venom from Parasitic Worms Help Treat Celiac Disease?"
    Celiac.com 06/29/2021 - A scientist has been awarded nearly $2 million to study how venom from parasitic worms, called nematodes, allows them to live undetected in our bodies. He hopes it can lead to new treatments for celiac, and other...

    Welcome to the forum. Eating high carb cereals that contain lots of sugar can also cause a variety of gastro issues, so perhaps this is the source of your discomfort? Chex have been considered to be gluten-free for years, and they've never had a product recall. Anything is possible with regard to having bad luck and getting a box that was somehow...

    Yes, but stranger things have happened here! 😀

    I'm sorry to hear you got glutened. This article may be helpful:

    Welcome to the forum @Joanie1! Wow, Feb 2020 for the bad cruise ship virus. Any chance it was covid-19? I ask because this article just went live on our site today:

    More information about "COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk"
    Celiac.com 06/28/2021 - There is a growing body of data to suggest the intestinal action of SARS-CoV-2, with ciliated cells and intestinal enterocytes serving as target cells, due to high expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, could possibly...

    Welcome to the forum. For me it wasn't until I began taking magnesium citrate and bonfotimine (fat soluble thiamine) that some of my tingling and neurological issues improved (after 25 years!), so do pursue possible vitamin/mineral deficiencies as @cristiana mentioned. Interestingly B1 isn't one of the common deficiencies mentioned with celiac disease, but...

    Yes, be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all celiac disease testing is completed, otherwise you may end up with false-negative results.

    Hi Ollie, welcome to the forum! I agree with everything @cristiana shared with you here. As she mentioned, there is a 44% chance that some of your first degree relatives may also have celiac disease, so be sure to let them know that they really should get a blood test for it as well, and many celiacs don't have symptoms. You may also want to get screened...

    I agree with @trents and believe that had you continued to eat gluten daily your blood tests would likely have been higher levels, and if you mentioned to your doctor that you were mostly gluten-free leading up to those tests I'm sure they would agree (if they know much about how these tests work anyway!). Going gluten-free in Japan isn't that hard,...

    you might want to go down the checklist in this article and try to make sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free, including all medications, skin care products, etc. Many celiac’s have additional food intolerance issues, so you might want to keep a food diary to find any other foods that might cost you issues. Casein or cows milk intolerance is a very c...

    In this case I would opt for one of the ones that don’t use barley, as there are many listed above in the list.

    I’m due to be retested next week and will post the results. Of course a single test could just be coincidence.
  22. Scott Adams
    The only way to find out for sure would be to get tested for celiac disease. It’s a simple blood test so perhaps you should do that before you go Gluten-Free? You need to be eating gluten daily for at least 6 to 8 weeks before any blood test. Here are some articles about celiac disease in relation to thyroid issues: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/c...

    Interestingly mine was lower than normal when checked about 3 weeks ago, which was after my 2nd vaccine.

    Welcome to the forum! It's definitely important for your child to be screened for celiac disease using a blood test BEFORE he goes wheat or gluten-free. Now would be a great time to do that, and you may already know that celiac disease has a genetic component, so it's certainly possible that your mother has it and is self diagnosed. If your mother has it...

    What you said about care home makes total sense, and here in the USA finding care for the elderly that includes 100% gluten-free meals is difficult at best. Let us know how it turns out. Here are our articles on Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease...
