  1. Celiac.com 08/30/2021 - In August of 2020, the FDA issued a final rule regarding gluten-free labeling of fermented and hydrolyzed foods. The rule established a compliance date of August 13, 2021. The rule doesn't change the gluten...
  2. Recovery can take up to two years, especially since you had Marsh III lesions. I agree with @trents and you should explore going casein/dairy-free as well as other possible food intolerance issues. The good news is that many of these food intolerance issues may go away once you fully heal. This article may help:
  3. To me it sounds like self diagnosis may work for you. A side benefit will be lower life insurance, and possibly private health insurance, premiums for life. On the down side it may be harder for you to get follow up medical care, but many people who are diagnosed don’t seem to be getting this anyway. I have excellent health insurance through Kaiser, ...
  4. Double check your diet and make sure there is no hidden gluten, which means that you may need to stop eating outside your home if possible, and avoid restaurants. The average time to villi and symptom recovery is two years, but this can likely be one year or less if you’re diet is 100% GF.
  5. To me it seems like your tTg should be lower after two years, so I agree with @trents that you should focus more on eliminating cross-contamination, and probably one of the biggest factors of all would be eating outside your home. Restaurants, even if they offer gluten-free menus, are often sources of cross-contamination. PS - There is some evidence in...
  6. Ok, how long have you been gluten-free?
  7. I’m glad the #1 flour mix recipe might work for you. Interestingly that recipe, and the others there, are among the oldest posts on this site, dating back to ~1996. Back then celiacs had to spend lots of time experimenting in the kitchen if they ever wanted to eat the things they loved again.
  8. Also, it would be important to know how long you’ve been on the gluten-free diet.
  9. You might need to contact the maker on this one.
  10. I too would go with regular wheat bread, but perhaps you can find an organic and/or whole-grain one that doesn’t use Roundup?
  11. Celiac.com 08/28/2021 - Here are some great gluten-free cocktails to make with Seagram's 7 whiskey. For more great gluten-free drink ideas, check out the Seagram's 7 website. The 7 & 7 An absolute classic for summer, or anytime...
  12. I've never used such an oven, but before I bought a bread machine, which I have used, you may want to first try doing it in your oven to see how it turns out. It may work just fine. Some people love bread machines, but they can be expensive, and some don't do such a great job of mixing, and bread can sometimes turn out poorly. We have many recipes here...
  13. You might want to take a look at the various "All purpose flour mixes" here, just to get some ideas: /celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-flour-mixes/
  14. Celiac.com 08/26/2021 - We get a lot of questions about what types of foods, products, and brands are gluten-free. We also get a lot of questions about diet, not just the gluten-free diet. One questions we've seen a lot recently is about...
  15. I can simply change your screen name, no need to create a new account. Please just PM me what you'd like it to be, and include 3 choices. The reason it's not easier to change this is due to spammers being able to hide easier if they can change their own screen names.
  16. Thank you for the update, and sorry to hear of your official diagnosis, but I'm glad that you can now treat this with a gluten-free diet and hopefully recover 100%. Good on you for pushing your doctor to get the biopsy! You may want to get tested for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and you will likely need to start supplements (which are gluten-free of...
  17. It's an interesting approach for sure, but if possible I'd recommend that you get an old fashioned blood test from your doctor or a licensed medical lab for any vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
  18. I don't believe that you were misdiagnosed, because a diagnosis of DH does not require a positive biopsy of damaged villi in your intestines. Additionally, in Europe anyway, they are diagnosing celiac disease now when people receive a positive celiac antibody test that is 10x the level for celiac disease, which is true in your case:
  19. Yes, unfortunately he should eat gluten until all tests are done, unless he's already sure gluten is causing his symptoms, and it certainly sounds that way. Just remember that if he does go gluten-free now the real test will be the relief of symptoms, and he may never get a formal diagnosis. You have to weigh out how important this is, and certainly good...
  20. I would urge you to try to quit gluten again. Have you tried this new pizza? Yes, it contains "gluten-free" wheat starch, and the last few batches I've tested were gluten-free, but it tastes like the real thing...so binge on it instead of gluten: If you want to change your screen name send me a personal message with three choices.
  21. Hi Tim, welcome to the forum...please post any questions you have here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/
  22. Celiac.com 08/25/2021 - For people who are old, pregnant, or suffering from compromised immune systems, listeriosis is a serious food-borne illness that is fatal for about 20 percent of patients, even with antibiotic treatment. Now...
