    Gaining weight could be normal for some people with celiac disease who are in recovery, and this is often caused by the recovery of damaged villi, so you are now absorbing nutrients better. Some people with celiac disease are actually overweight because they feel like they are starving all the time, and they actually are, so they over eat to compensate. To...

    For what it's worth, my daughter who is officially gluten sensitive and not a diagnosed celiac (high antibodies but just below the cut off for celiac disease, thus never did a biopsy) had one major symptom: the feeling that food was getting stuck in her esophagus. It bothered her so much that she decided to go gluten-free, and her symptoms went away. I believe...

    I looked at a few of their products and they do seem to be naturally gluten-free, but highly processed with tons of ingredients. They are made by Kraft Foods, which is very good about disclosing allergens. I did not see "Contains Wheat" on any I looked at: https://www.justcrackanegg.net/

    I'm sorry to hear that you're still having issues and had to go to the ER. Are you still eating the Kate Farms’s nutritional shakes each day? If so, I really think you should change this up and try making your own shakes from scratch, switching to whole foods you prepare, etc, and keeping a food diary. It's possible you have a separate intolerance t...

    I'm not aware of the Great Value brand having an issue with cross contamination, but there are certainly lots of other brands of dates that are unlikely to be contaminated. For example, dates from Arizona and California are grown in the desert where no wheat is grown for hundreds of miles: https://oasisdate.com/

    Some people have other sensitivities, for example to legumes. It's pretty unlikely that the frozen vegetables or the chicken would contain any gluten, but it's not impossible.

    Hello Emile and welcome to the forum. It's possible that your rash could be gluten-related if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but it would not be in an area that is typical for dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin condition associated with celiac disease. The only way to be sure would be to see a dermatologist about it (recommended)...

    Hi Sharon, welcome to the forum! I’m sorry to hear about your melanoma diagnosis. Regarding your celiac test results, it looks like part of the scan you posted got cut off and I’m not sure I am reading all of it. Is it possible for you to post a full scan because I can’t see the whole thing here?

    You should ask them how they are made because my daughter made some at home and the recipe called for her to dip the cheese in egg first, then flour before frying it (she used a gluten-free flour).

    Welcome to the forum! It seems you have at least part of the answer already: gluten sensitivity. Everything you’ve described leaves little doubt that she should not be eating any gluten. Whether or not you want to go down the difficult road to screen her again for celiac disease is up to you, but no matter the results her outcome would likely not change: ...

    Welcome to the forum! I did a quick search of our site for "exercise intolerance" and found a few hits: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="exercise intolerance"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy but I admit that I don't know too much about it. It does seem possible that if you had celiac disease it could cause malabsorption of nutrients, and cause...

    More information about "What are the Odds of Developing Celiac Disease based on HLA-DQA/DQB Genotype?"
    Celiac.com 07/01/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering about various aspects of celiac disease. One question we see a lot is about how genetic makeup influences the odds of developing celiac disease....

    Welcome to the forum! If you strongly suspect celiac disease, then you should know that to be tested for it you need to be eating gluten daily for at least 6-8 weeks before taking a blood test for it. I recommend that you get tested before going gluten-free. You may also need to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and it's recommended that you keep...

    If they used wheat in any way they would need to include this as an allergen on the ingredient label. The only ingredients are "dates": https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Pitted-Deglet-Noor-Dates-8-oz/578393789

    Did you try Barilla gluten-free pasta? Most people can't tell it's gluten-free. There are many types of gluten-free products, and it can take a while to navigate them all and find ones that meet your standards in both nutrition, taste, texture, etc.

    Welcome to the forum. It's doubtful that paper napkins would contain any gluten, but I suppose it's not impossible. You would likely need to contact the maker of the napkins to find out. In the 25+ years of running this site I've never heard that paper napkins could be a concern for those with celiac disease.

    This is great to hear, and I did not know this about prescriptions in the UK. I hope the USA can finally deal with this and disclose gluten on prescription meds.

    Casein intolerance I believe can, in rare cases, cause villi damage, but it's not very common. I'd like to see more research on this though. I I think you're probably correct, and the long recovery time may be due to your initial really high antibody levels. If they don't go down further consider the casein possibility.
  24. Scott Adams
    I think it has only happened a couple of time before over the last 20 years, so it is a bit unusual.
  25. Scott Adams
    Thanks for the update! On one had, you are lucky not to have noticeable symptoms, and it's great to hear that you are still vigilant about your gluten-free diet, but as you may know your health risks are the same as those who are symptomatic, and unfortunately many in your shoes don't take the diet as seriously when they are asymptomatic. 900 tTG is...
