    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...

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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

    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...

    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

    Due to the fact that you're actively trying to get pregnant it would make sense for you to go gluten-free now, because if you do have celiac disease (one positive blood test like the one you shared is enough to make this a good possibility), it could definitely affect your pregnancy. A gluten-free diet, as long as your supplementing, getting enough fiber...

    Welcome to the forum @suila! Most of us have shared our experiences, sometimes many times, here already. Can you tell us more about your "hardest of times," and how going gluten-free helped you?

    I do find it odd that your gastroenterologist seems to already be trying to explain away what he may have seen by bringing up NSAID's. It's also bad that they didn't mention the need to be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy. In any case, let us know how that goes, but I think @trents is correct, at the very least it does sound...
  16. Scott Adams
    If going gluten-free has offered you such obvious and dramatic relief from your symptoms, and eating it is causing you so many serious health issues, can I ask why you feel the need to get the formal diagnosis? You may have celiac disease, as you do have the genetic DQ8 marker for it, and have symptoms that have gone away when you went gluten-free, but to...

    How much weight have you gained back since your diagnosis? I will just throw this out there, but perhaps you could go the route of an RN, or even a RN medical practitioner? It sounds like you have enough science under your belt for that, but I don't know how much more school would be involved. In any case, it sounds like moving out of your current...

    I'm not expert on this, but I believe something like a low carb, paleo diet would be needed if you are not willing to take enzymes to help you digest the sugars. So avoiding starches, especially processed ones, and sugar, and eat mostly meats, vegetables, nuts, etc. This site talks about what the levels mean in more detail: https://www.csidcares...

    I just follow the recommendations on the bottles for those that I recommended, As for the magnesium citrate, keep in mind that it could cause IBS symptoms until you get used to it. I can only take one per day with food, and it took me about a month of starting and stopping it to get used to it and eventually I had no IBS symptoms when taking it.

    Welcome to the forum @CAS7! You are correct that many commercial beers may be naturally gluten-free, as they are filtered using very fine membranes for maximum clarity and consistency, and other people have reported similar stories here. In the gluten-removed beer category, we still recommend beers like Omission, which use AN-PEP enzymes during the fermenting...
