  1. This article might be helpful:
  2. It's true that a low FODMAP diet could help with your issues, so it is worth trying, but are you sure that your diet over the last few years has been 100% gluten-free? Do you eat outside your home, and in restaurants? If so, you may be getting small amounts of gluten contamination, which can build up over time and cause a celiac disease relapse. One way to...
  3. Over the years I've heard stories of good dentists who've helped members here get a celiac disease diagnosis (based on the dental defects they noticed in a regular exam), but finding them may not be easy. We've done some articles on this topic as well: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=enamel&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles
  4. I've heard about this, and you're correct, they do seem like they pack a lot in a small pill: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/chlorella-spirulina The only thing I'd recommend is to just make sure the ones you order are "gluten-free," as I've had bad luck lately with getting contaminated supplements (I just got some curcumin that contained...

  6. I agree with @yuluyouyue, also, be sure to go through this article in detail to make sure you're not getting gluten in your diet or via other ways. The most common way is eating out at restaurants, or outside your home:
  7. I don't believe that latex is used commonly in foods, but I could be wrong about that.
  8. Your symptoms could be due to untreated celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so it's good that you're getting tested for it. Interestingly the part about feeling like something was stuck in your throat reminded me of my daughter's primary symptom, and the pain in the lower-right side was a symptom I had for years before I was diagnosed. Should...
  9. For me it was too restrictive to maintain, but you results will be different than mine. I do rotate my diet better than before and avoid the worst offenders more now.
  10. I would not necessarily expect better treatment from doctors with an official diagnosis, but it’s possible you could get certain follow up tests ordered that you otherwise might not have access to. On the downside you may pay more for private health and life insurance. Keep in mind that a negative test won’t exclude non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wh...
  11. I did the 400 item test which isn’t cheap but it includes buckwheat and quinoa. I haven’t been following the diet so I’m still using regular butter, but there are butters made from olive oil I believe the brand is smart balance.
  12. Given we’re still in a pandemic more hand washing is probably a good thing, so why not?
  13. Given how horrible DH symptoms are, and how sure you are that it's what you have, as it goes away when you don't eat gluten, I don't see any reason to put yourself through what could end up being months of misery, just to get a formal diagnosis. Further, a formal diagnosis will also increase life, and possibly health, insurance rates, and may make policies...
  14. Let us know how it goes for you!
  15. In the many years this forum has been around we have had people who have worked in bakeries get diagnosed with celiac disease, and they've shared mixed experiences. Some seem to be affected by being exposed to airborne gluten, especially those with dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of the disease, while others haven't had issues. There...
  16. The high platelet count could be a symptom of untreated celiac disease, but I don't believe it is a common one, and it could also be related to other issues, so it's good you are following up with her doctor about all this. As far as why there is not test yet for NCGS, this was only recognized recently as a separate condition from celiac disease, and...
  17. It's difficult to make a recommendation because we don't really know what tests were done. If you could get a copy of what celiac blood tests were done it would be helpful. Also, were you eating gluten daily until you did those tests? Likewise, they did an endoscopy, but if your blood panel for celiac disease is negative they normally would not do this...

  19. We do list many of the common deficiencies in this article, but don't make specific dosage recommendations, as they would vary greatly from person to person:
  20. This is very informative, thanks for sharing.
  21. This site is very helpful to find drug ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ If yours is the capsule it looks gluten-free: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=90a6bfcf-faf9-21c0-e053-2995a90ad69f D&C YELLOW NO. 10 (UNII: 35SW5USQ3G) GELATIN, UNSPECIFIED (UNII: 2G86QN327L) FD...
  22. Just in time for Halloween! Thank you for this recipe!
  23. Perfect timing! Thank you for this recipe!
