On a side note, with your current genetic results it looks like your odds of having celiac disease are 1:842 (0.05%), which is a bit higher risk than what you shared (1:1800): -
Convection oven, will it ever be clean?
Scott Adams replied to Melissa93's topic in Super Sensitive People
I think just using the bake setting makes sense, as you likely could not ever clear the insides of the fan area. You could also cover some things with foil or use casserole type pots with lids. It does seem like any gluten would eventually break down after regular use, and after running the cleaning cycle enough times. -
It is possible, as you've now removed a serious stressor on your body, but definitely discuss this with your doctor as it could also be unrelated and caused by something else.

I've never heard that mushrooms could contain any gluten, even if they were grown on wheat and/or barley. If you simply wash them before use they should be gluten-free. This sounds like a similar version of an age-old myth that strawberries could contain gluten because they might use wheat straw under the plants. I don't believe that either claim would hold...

Some questions
Scott Adams replied to penguin11's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I will take a stab at some of your questions, but keep in mind that the responses can vary greatly for each person: 1) The main pain I had wasn't in my stomach, but was in my lower-right side. I had serious visible lesions when I had my biopsy, so as that began to heal the pain gradually went away. Some people who had stomach issues reported that they... -
This is interesting because I too went to the emergency room on at least two occasions before my diagnosis in the mid 1990's because of what seemed to be an irregular heart beat. They didn't find anything, but I definitely felt like it was heart arrhythmia. The symptom went away after going gluten-free. I learned years later when we summarized some research...

Pain & Numbness on one side of body
Scott Adams replied to BNGed8's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Since you were recently diagnosed with celiac disease and Vitamin D deficiency, it's likely that you have other vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well. It seems like a good multivitamin & mineral supplement would be a good start, and you likely need additional individual supplements like B12. Recovery can take time, and it's important that your diet... -

It sounds like good news! I'm surprised that Sweden isn't better, as Scandinavian countries have the highest rates of celiac disease, and they supposedly have a much higher awareness of it. In any case, you may want to look into GliadinX enzymes, they are a sponsor here, but they have been shown in multiple studies to break down small amounts of gluten in...

Positive blood negative biopsy
Scott Adams replied to Randommuwa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Given your symptoms, and elevated "weak positive" results, it would make sense for you to go gluten-free to see if it helps resolve your symptoms. I realize that this was your first screening, but this new study is interesting because it finds that most kids with persistently high antibodies in the weak positive range do in fact have celiac disease: It... -
Will COVID-19 cause spike on Celiac Disease?

I think you might mean reovirus: -
Allergist recommendations? Anyone?
Scott Adams replied to Lotte18's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There isn't a specific timeline that would be the same for everyone, and, of course, it varies greatly depending on how strict your gluten-free diet is. I recall that it took some people several months to a year to drop that much. Also, it seems that in some people casein sensitivity can keep TTG levels from dropping to normal levels, so some people may also... -
Follow up required?
Scott Adams replied to Abcdefghi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We will be doing a summary of this recent study, and it's focused on kids, but I think it's important and can apply to many cases of "weak positive" results for TTG: https://journals.lww.com/jpgn/Abstract/2021/05000/Diagnostic_Value_of_Persistently_Low_Positive.16.aspx -
Teenage son and symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Abby357's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There are home test kits available for ~$100 and you get the results back in a few days, for example: https://www.imaware.health/at-home-blood-test/celiac-disease-screening You do need to keep eating gluten daily for at least 6-8 weeks before the test results will be valid, and this includes any follow up biopsy that the doctor may order. -
Yes, but that possibility has been eliminated in my case, as well as many other possibilities.

Welcome to the forum! It's doubtful that not eating any gluten for only 1-2 days before your test will affect your results by much. It's possible any antibodies measured will be very slightly lower, but if you have celiac disease, those levels should still be high enough to make a diagnosis. It's also possible, of course, that you have non-celiac gluten...

Kirkland Brand Gluten Free

Is there a chance that you have an issue with nightshades? Many celiacs seem to also have issues with them. -
The time it takes for a DH breakout after eating gluten can vary greatly from person to person, as well as how long the breakout will last. For many with DH the breakout happens within a day of eating gluten, but some people report 2-4 days after. For some it can go away in a few days, but others have reported that a breakout can list for 2 weeks or longer...
