  1. Charcuterie L. Fortin Ltée. is recalling Charcuterie Fortin brand Salami from the marketplace because it may contain wheat which is not declared on the label. People who have an allergy to wheat or have celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders should not consume the recalled product described below. The following product has been sold in Quebec....
  2. Yeast extract is another term for MSG, and some people are sensitive to it even though it’s gluten-free. This article may be helpful:
  3. I'm sure you will hear from others, but I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NSXBYVV/ as they contain Bifidobacterium Infantis, which has been shown in several studies to be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=Infantis&quick=1
  4. I got mine removed about 5 years ago, and ~21 years after my diagnosis. It would be interesting if there were a connection, but so far I haven't seen a medical study on this. One thing I've seen over and over on this forum, but also haven't seen any studies on, is that the gall bladder removal rate seems very high among celiacs. The evidence is mostly anecdotal...
  5. Can we assume that you are certain that they are gluten-free? It is possible that a batch got contaminated.
  6. Here are some ideas:
  7. All of their products with "gluten-free" on the label should be gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease. Around 10% of celiacs can't tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free, so be sure you're not in this group.
  8. Yes, it can, but not in everyone. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which can attack manifest in 3 major ways: 1) Gut 2) Skin 3) Brain/Nervous system More about this is here:
  9. You might find this article helpful:
  10. I think the two could definitely be related, and you can see by a search of this site that there are over 2,300 results that mention "gastritis," so it is a very common issue here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=gastritis&quick=1 I believe that in the other thread you started you are getting ideas about how to deal with it, but be sure to...
  11. I doubt it contains gluten, of course it is a possibility, but the company is very good about labelling products that contain allergens, and you can read about it here: https://www.thehersheycompany.com/en_us/home/ingredients/allergens.html
  12. This interesting study indicates that doctors need to take more seriously persistently elevated antibodies, even if they are in the negative range, but elevated. Since her antibodies are on the lower side consistently the doctors may want to do a biopsy to confirm a diagnosis. Given that she did have one weak positive test, carries two genetic markers for...
  13. There is research that shows a connection between kidney disease and celiac disease: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/ and we just published this interesting study summary:
  14. Good point @Linda Hannibal, and welcome to the forum! It's a good idea to keep a food diary to make sure you don't have additional food intolerance issues, as many newly diagnosed celiac often do. Some may be temporary and go away after a year or more on a gluten-free diet, as was the case with several that I had.
  15. For those with gluten sensitivity there may be varieties of wheat that some can tolerate, however, in general, even they should avoid all types of wheat.
  16. Perhaps you have a chicken egg allergy, which is used in some types of flu vaccine: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/how-fluvaccine-made.htm It looks like there are types that don't use it, and you may want to ask your doctor about the Recombinant Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/qa_flublok-vaccine.htm
  17. It does seem possible...please let us know how it turns out!
  18. You're looking at two different cases within the article. Sunflower oil does contain essential fatty acids, just not omega-3 fatty acids. In the first case, skin application of sunflower oil helped "A 10-year-old girl suffering from cholestasis, fat malabsorption, growth failure, and essential fatty acid deficiency." In the second case the second group was...
  19. Is there a chance you could share the celiac blood test results? Sometimes a doctor may say they are "negative," when they may be a weak positive, or just under the cut off for celiac disease. Elevated antibodies to gliadin isn't normal for anyone, so the results could provide some clues.
  20. Below is a search of titles with "B12" in them. Perhaps you can find it here? https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=B12&quick=1&search_in=titles
  21. No, it's sold as a supplement because the main enzyme in it called AN-PEP has been used for decades in the beer brewing industry as a clarifying agent, and it thus widely available. This fact makes it something that can't be patented and protected as a prescription drug, thus, pharmaceutical companies are not likely to invest in it as it is already being...
  22. I think you would need to contact the makers directly to find out for sure. I did do some searching and couldn't find info on those brands. Here is an article we did that may be helpful: /celiac-disease/which-liqueurs-are-gluten-free-r5436/
  23. Interesting symptom, and it sounds like it may not be linked to your celiac disease given that you've been gluten-free for so long, and your blood tests have shown that it's under control. Have you noticed any other foods that you eat that affect this? Perhaps you should keep a food diary to see if there is any connection? Also, have you discussed this symptom...
