  1. 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:
  2. Welcome to the forum! This article might be helpful:
  3. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. Yes, be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all celiac disease testing is completed, otherwise you may end up with false-negative results.
  6. 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...
  7. 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,...
  8. 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...
  9. 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.
  10. I’m due to be retested next week and will post the results. Of course a single test could just be coincidence.
  11. 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...
  12. Interestingly mine was lower than normal when checked about 3 weeks ago, which was after my 2nd vaccine.
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. I think you mean GliadinX...and they DO make something like it...it's available. Yes, it's safe to take regularly, I've been doing so for a couple of years now with zero issues. I've taken 4 at one time with no issues.
  16. Good call on the GliadinX, and I would just add that I have no issue bringing my own gluten-free buns with me to such events, or even to restaurants that don't offer a gluten-free bun. I usually just ask them to put the hot dog on a paper plate, and you'll do the rest.
  17. I don't have Enteropathic Arthritis, and I've not heard of it being directly linked to celiac disease, but it would not surprise me if there were a link. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis have both been linked to it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/ <___base_url...
  18. Another thought is that you've cut out sources of fiber, which may be causing you issues. You may need to add psyllium fiber powder or other fiber to your diet if you've cut out all grains. Beans and lentils are a great idea.
  19. We've done a couple of recent articles on this topic that may be helpful:
  20. This depends on what you consider to be drugs vs. nutraceuticals. I know that some on this forum have been able to lower their cholesterol via vitamin supplements, and this thread covers that approach well: There are also ancient Chinese ways to do this by using a supplement called red yeast rice, which is a naturally occurring fungus I believe, which...
  21. It's possible that your diet is causing you to miss certain key vitamins or minerals, and if you skip large varieties of fruits or vegetables it would be a great idea for you to take a good multi-vitamin & minerals. If possible it might be a good idea for you to have your doctor test you for any deficiencies.
  22. I take NatureMade and don't see any ingredients that would include casein or dairy: https://www.naturemade.com/collections/burp-less-fish-oil-fish-oil-collection-page/products/nature-made-fish-oil-1-000-mg-softgels-burp-less#slfe-tab-two
  23. I think if you took a good multivitamin & mineral supplement, and made sure your diet had enough fiber, you can get by with only spinach, asparagus and green beans as your vegetables. Of course, the better solution would be for you to do all you can to add more vegetables and fruit into your diet. Perhaps try some different fruits and veggies that you...
  24. I haven't seen any studies linking the two, however, others with this condition have discussed it in our forum, and they also have gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=costochondritis&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy
