    That is definitely odd, but potato start is generally not brown, unless it was cooked too long. It's possible a chunk of potato starch fell into the vats that they fry the chips in, and then got packaged with a bag. It seems like a reasonable explanation from the manufacturer, but the only way to be sure would be to have it tested for gluten.

    Yes, it does look like your tTG results are high, which is positive for celiac disease. Be sure to keep eating gluten until all testing is completed. Your doctor may refer you for an endoscopy to confirm this, and if you go gluten-free before then those results could be tainted.

    This is simply a summary of a study, and you can view the source here: Open Original Shared Link Psyllium fiber husks are used in this study, which are gluten-free and most celiacs can tolerate, but, like most things, not all celiacs will be able to tolerate--for those avoid this ingredient. There may be other fiber that would do the same thing, but...

    I've not heard of a relationship with a weak positive pregnancy test and celiac disease before, but there is definitely a link between miscarriages and untreated celiac disease, and you can read our articles that mention this here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=miscarriage&quick=1&type=cms_records2

    The neurological manifestation of celiac disease (and gluten sensitivity) is not uncommon, so I am not sure why your doctor would indicate otherwise. Here are dozens of summaries of research on this: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

    Welcome to the forum! This forum has many success stories, and hopefully others will chime in here, but compared to when I ate gluten my last ~25 years have been a success story! Of course there are some minor set backs from time to time, but even those have been lessened greatly due to proper supplementation and the use of AN-PEP enzymes to prevent accidental...

    It's probably too late for this, but you may want to bookmark this article in case it ever happens again. Also, some of the things listed in the article may not be appropriate for someone who is pregnant, just FYI:

    I agree with @cristiana, and your reactions to eating gluten can vary greatly depending on what's going on with your gut (perhaps it's fully healed and doing well now), and how often you get accidental gluten (less is best!).

    It sounds like you have scarring associated with the DH lesions. There is likely a treatment available that may be similar to dealing with acne scars, and you'd probably need to see a dermatologist about this.

    I've heard of too much iron causing a change in skin color similar to what you've described: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3805307/ and also liver issues that can cause jaundice, which makes your skin look more yellow, so definitely bring this change up with your doctor, as some basic blood tests can determine both.

    Many people have ongoing symptoms after they go gluten-free, but it is somewhat unusual for there to be a 10 year interval between this, so be sure to keep working with your doctor to eliminate any possible issues that could cause this. This article might be helpful, as it covers many issues that can cause celiacs to not recover fully:

    I believe you mentioned in another thread that you accidently ate some soy sauce with wheat in it. If that's the case, are you aware of the many hidden ingredients in foods that contain gluten? You might want to review this article to be sure:

    If you have celiac disease, and it sounds like that is the case, then your son has an ~44% chance of developing it, and he does have a strong positive on this test, so I'd be concerned: Anti-Gliadin IgA 11.0 U/mL Range: 0.0 - 6.9 U/mL High Anti-Gliadin IgA Interpretation - Positive Abnormal The article below is older, but still valid...

    It's probably too late now, but this article might be helpful should this happen again:

    It seems that one diet does not fit all here, that is for sure. Be sure to keep a food diary so you can monitor how various foods affect you. In time you may be able to add certain foods back to your diet, but not others.

    No, I'm not paid to promote them in forum posts, but they do pay for banner ads here. You can read the peer reviewed research posted on their site and decide for yourself, and nationalceliac.org appear not to have done that: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications

    Welcome to the forum @RVR! It would be a good idea to get a blood panel done for celiac disease before your son goes gluten-free, as it's definitely possible that he could have it, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, for which there currently are not tests available. It sounds like we may be too late for that, as he would need to be eating gluten...

    The Mayo Clinic recommendation is to eat two slices of wheat bread daily before the biopsy. Also, you could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and currently there is no way to test for it. If your tests end up negative for celiac disease, you may still not find relief until you go gluten-free, and if this relieves your symptoms it's likely you have...
