    I did the 400 item test which isn’t cheap but it includes buckwheat and quinoa. I haven’t been following the diet so I’m still using regular butter, but there are butters made from olive oil I believe the brand is smart balance.

    Given we’re still in a pandemic more hand washing is probably a good thing, so why not?

    Given how horrible DH symptoms are, and how sure you are that it's what you have, as it goes away when you don't eat gluten, I don't see any reason to put yourself through what could end up being months of misery, just to get a formal diagnosis. Further, a formal diagnosis will also increase life, and possibly health, insurance rates, and may make policies...

    Let us know how it goes for you!

    In the many years this forum has been around we have had people who have worked in bakeries get diagnosed with celiac disease, and they've shared mixed experiences. Some seem to be affected by being exposed to airborne gluten, especially those with dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of the disease, while others haven't had issues. There...

    The high platelet count could be a symptom of untreated celiac disease, but I don't believe it is a common one, and it could also be related to other issues, so it's good you are following up with her doctor about all this. As far as why there is not test yet for NCGS, this was only recognized recently as a separate condition from celiac disease, and...

    It's difficult to make a recommendation because we don't really know what tests were done. If you could get a copy of what celiac blood tests were done it would be helpful. Also, were you eating gluten daily until you did those tests? Likewise, they did an endoscopy, but if your blood panel for celiac disease is negative they normally would not do this...

    We do list many of the common deficiencies in this article, but don't make specific dosage recommendations, as they would vary greatly from person to person:

    This is very informative, thanks for sharing.

    This site is very helpful to find drug ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ If yours is the capsule it looks gluten-free: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=90a6bfcf-faf9-21c0-e053-2995a90ad69f D&C YELLOW NO. 10 (UNII: 35SW5USQ3G) GELATIN, UNSPECIFIED (UNII: 2G86QN327L) FD...

    Perfect timing! Thank you for this recipe!

    I seriously doubt there would be airborne gluten, but even if there were having a covid-safe mask on should have filtered it out. Can I assume that you did not eat anything there? If not, my guess would be that it is coincidental, and perhaps you just have a normal bug, or ate something else that was contaminated or had an ingredient in it that you may also...

    I've shared a kitchen for over two decades with my wife and son who aren't gluten-free, while my daughter and I are gluten-free. The non-gluten-free family members fully understand the issue with cross-contamination, and the are very careful about things like not getting crumbs from wheat bread back into condiments, cleaning cutting boards, pots, pans, etc...

    Welcome to the forum! You can diagnose celiac disease without a positive biopsy, and in Europe they are doing this when a test like the one you took is 10x normal. Given that your tTG igA result was 27, and anything above 3 is positive, you more or less fall into that category. Also, thyroid issues are very common in those with celiac disease, and you can...

    Sounds good, and if you are going for chewiness the tapioca starch will help, and then there is xanthan gum if you have issues with them falling apart. Also, and I'm going from memory here, but I believe potato flour and potato start are two different things, and I'm not sure if it would help to experiment with potato flour as well.

    All of the symptoms you mention are very typical for those with untreated celiac disease. I would recommend that you contact the doctor who ran the "celiac" test and get a copy of her results so that you can share them here. Even if she does not have celiac disease, she may still have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which is actually probably 10x more...

    Thanks for sharing this! We have a very old GF dumpling recipe in our recipes section, and it has similarities to yours. It may help you to perfect it:

    I just want to add that there is another condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity that ~12% of people have for which there currently isn’t a way to test. If you end up not being able to get additional tests for celiac disease you may still want to try a gluten-free diet to see if it helps.
  23. Scott Adams
    What science are these results based upon? Are there any studies on these tests, and how they determine what you should eat and what you should avoid?

    Though I've seen this concept thrown around over and over, I've not seen any actual data on this idea. I mean people feed cats, and sometimes dogs, milk all the time, with no issues in those animals. I think the proper thing to throw around is that humans are the only animals that are smart enough to harvest milk and use it in their diets, while other animals...

    Given your positive endoscopy, your symptoms, and the fact that your doctor thinks gluten is your issue, you may want to go gluten-free to see if it helps. It can't hurt.
