    So if you have celiac disease and only recently went gluten-free the lingering symptom can be caused by the prolonged nutrient deficiencies that you've likely experienced, and it can take months to years to fully recover (we ran an article years ago on a study that found that the average time to recovery was 2 years). This article might be helpful:

    Hopefully you won't be moving around too much on trains, buses, etc. If this were the case it seems like it would be a difficult trip having to lug them around. Will you be taking camping/backpacking versions, or regular ones?

    The fact that you mother has celiac disease means you have a ~44% chance of also having it, and if you have a high DGP result on top of this it's almost certain that you also have it, especially given your symptoms. You would need to be back on gluten for ~8 weeks, and eat a couple of sliced of wheat bread per day before getting blood tests.

    Feel free to share your two blood test results with us, including the high mark levels for celiac disease, but if you have two positive ttg tests it could definitely mean celiac disease, regardless of the biopsy results. At the very least you should consider your results to mean non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) for which there is currently no test available...

    Yes, they definitely showed me things that I apparently react highly to that I had no idea affected me, as well as some things that I already knew I had issues with.

    So it looks like you're not IgA deficient (I believe it was 220 from what you posted), and your Anti-Gliadin IgA was positive. According to this article: "A sensitive testing protocol includes testing for both IgA and IgG anti-gliadin antibodies since a significant portion of celiac patients (approx. 2-5%) are IgA deficient. This combined IgA and IgG anti...

    Can you share your high blood test result along with the cut off level for celiac disease? If you have even one positive blood test for celiac disease, then you could still have it, or gluten sensitivity for which they currently can't screen, even though your gut isn't damaged (that could still happen later). For your genetic test, are you saying...

    No, but this is a great idea! It sounds like a simple recipe that makes pot pies easy...thanks for sharing!

    I am not aware of any specific brands that would contain gluten, however, it would also not surprise me if there are a few that do. Here are some past posts in this forum on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=laundry detergent&quick=1 and you might find this post helpful:

    I'm currently testing out the ALCAT diet after receiving test results. Note that they are a sponsor here, and I'm in the process of doing a non-paid article on my experience with this (the only payment for my article was free testing): https://previmedica.com/ The ALCAT test analyzes the white blood cell (leukocytes) responses to various foods,...

    Yes, @Tonedown, you may need to find a better doctor, as this assessment isn't helpful at all, and generally speaking, there are tons of things you can do to repair your gut, first and foremost is a strict gluten-free diet, which means no more Big Macs!

    Yes, there is no diagnostic test available at this point for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, only for celiac disease. From what I've read, antibodies may work for some, but currently this is only early research, and isn't being used at this point:

    Welcome to the forum @ekh, and it's great to hear that there are retirement communities that offer gluten-free meals. We ran an article back in 2016 which made the prospect of finding gluten-free food for those in full care facilities to be rather difficult:
