    I just posted this in another topic, but will repeat it here: Ask your doctor these questions: 1) Do you know that non-celiac gluten sensitivity is, and can you test my daughter for it? 2) Given the positive DGP test how can you exclude celiac disease, as this test is considered to be VERY SPECIFIC for it? 3) My understanding is that...

    This would have to be your call. The current trend if your blood test results are 10x normal is to diagnose without a biopsy. To me it sounds like you have your answer, and a formal diagnosis could make both life and health insurance more expensive, and harder to get, depending on which country you live in. Also, since ~12% of people are gluten sensitive...

    Welcome to the forum! Just in case you didn't find our Forbidden List, I've included it below. I think everyone should learn to read ingredient labels, and learn what's safe and what's not. It can take more time, but is worth the investment. Also, keep in mind that allergen labelling laws in the USA do require "wheat" to be declared as an allergen if...

    It is my understanding that in Europe, Codex quality wheat start does not use hydrolyzation. As the article mentions:

    Welcome to the forum. Your son's extremely high positive TTG test results would likely fit into the category of not needing a biopsy to confirm a celiac disease diagnosis, and the article below has more about this. It is possible that the results of any blood tests done after being gluten-free for 6 days will be skewed, and might be lower than if he...

    As @Ennis_TX mentioned, some people can be sensitive to the gums used in gluten-free foods, like xanthan gum:

    Also, I checked their web site and those shakes are certified gluten-free, but like many of these type of products they do contain a lot of ingredients, some of which could cause issues in sensitive people. For example some people have issues with legumes (they are gluten-free), and it looks like these contain a lot of pea protein: Vanilla Ingredients...

    Welcome to the forum. This site is great for finding ingredients in prescription meds: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ Here is a search for it: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=COLCHICINE I don't know the maker of your meds, but try to find out so you can determine if it's gluten-free. I looked...

    What you describe are definitely classic symptoms of gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease. Of course it could be something else, but perhaps give the gluten-free diet another try, and this time for a longer period. Here is more in symptoms:

    It's got to be gluten-free. I suspect the app has an issue. I've never heard of any bottled water that contains any gluten. PS - Their site says it's 100% spring water: https://www.ozarkawater.com/

    I really don't drink milk, but in my family those who do recently switched from Lactaid milk to oat milk (which is certified gluten-free).
  12. Scott Adams
    Yes, it is definitely possible. Some people seem to have delayed symptoms, while others feel ill right away, and then there are some with no symptoms. If you are going to cheat, which I would not recommend to anyone with celiac disease, you'd better get GliadinX enzymes (a sponsor here), which have been shown in studies to break down SMALL AMOUNTS of...

    Yes, I recently wrote an article about my experience with ALCAT food sensitivity testing, and I wrote questions to the Roger Deutsch, the founder of the company. The full article is at:

    This article might be helpful: Celiac disease can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which could contribute to the possibility of developing gout.

    This is a really good question, and we recently did an article on a doctor who believes that there will indeed be post-pandemic a spike in CD and diabetes cases:

    I don't recall seeing any studies done that would compare antibody tests on a daily basis, but I believe they are known to be relatively stable. This means that it takes weeks for them to move up or down significantly, so if you've been gluten-free for a year or more you would need to eat gluten daily for at least 6-8 weeks, and perhaps up to 12 weeks, before...

    It's great that he's supporting you, and it will make your life much easier and worry-free compared to him eating and preparing foods with gluten in them at home.

    I too believe that replacing cookware may be excessive, especially if it is made of steel, aluminum or other metals. You should be able to scrub them clean enough to not get contamination, and if you wanted to be extra sure you could heat them on high on the stove or oven for a while to burn anything off.

    I think celiac disease is still more likely, however, I do know that a doctor is unlikely to make this diagnosis given a negative biopsy. So where does this leave patients? In my brother's case, that was very similar to this, they told him "good news, no celiac disease so you don't have to go gluten-free!" This happens often, even with positive blood tests...

    This article by Jean Duane PhD might be helpful, and she describes celiac disease as a "social disease":

    If this isn't a financial issue, I would get a DNA test, and if @CeliMomi got their child's biopsy results back, and they are negative, I would still suspect non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and consider consulting with the doctor about trying a gluten-free diet. The positive tests, and symptoms going away on a GFD, would likely confirm gluten sensitivity.

    Again, I've driven all over California's farming areas, and don't see any straw in the strawberry fields, but straw is gluten-free, even wheat straw. I am very skeptical of any claim that ANY farm or home grown strawberries would contain any gluten, even if wheat straw were used. A simple washing would remove anything on the outside. Are you worried that...

    Given that Tito's is a distilled beverage, no proteins are present in the end product anyway, so it should not make any difference it it's made with GMO corn or not, as you're not consuming any corn.
