    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:

    Celiac.com 05/18/2021 - Microbial transglutaminase, also known as ‘meat glue,’ is an enzyme commonly used in the meat industry to “glue” together smaller pieces of fish or meat to make a single larger piece from numerous smaller chunks....

    Welcome to the forum, we have articles summarized on mental issues and celiac disease here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/schizophrenia-mental-problems-and-celiac-disease/ and also thyroid issues and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders...

    I had a shingles flare once and can definitely testify that it was one of the most painful things I've experienced. For me it flared behind my right ear and up the side of my head. Strangely I had what I thought was a pinched nerve in my neck for many years leading up to this--a tingling sensation that shot up the exact same nerves, and I now realize that...

    I think it really depends on the expertise of the doctor, just like any tests related to celiac disease. I've seen the exact incorrect procedures followed by doctors with regard to celiac disease blood tests--for example not telling their patients that they need to keep eating gluten for at least the 6-8 weeks leading up to any blood tests for celiac disease...

    I hope you find out, and please chime in here and let us know how things turn out.

    My understanding is that when they do an endoscopy they take 3-10 samples from a small area of your gut, which, if stretched out, would cover an area the size of a football field. So no, I don't think you get a full picture of your gut health when you do an endoscopy. They could simply miss an area that has damage, or the damage isn't visible so they don...

    If you've been glutened this article might be helpful:

    Both my wife and daughter had GI symptoms after their vaccines, my wife after her 2nd Moderna which lasted about a week, and my daughter after her first Pfizer and lasted a few days.

    So ruling out celiac disease doesn't rule out gluten sensitivity, unfortunately. It's still possible you're symptoms are caused by gluten at @trents mentioned, so it might still be worth trying out the gluten-free diet to see if it offers relief.

    If the ingredient is "distilled vinegar," it is gluten-free. I've never seen fermented vinegar used in canned refried beans.

    Since nobody in your family was ever tested for it there is no way to know your risk of celiac disease, but at the very least, it sounds like gluten sensitivity runs in your family. It would definitely make sense for you to get screened for this before going gluten-free, and keep in mind that a negative test for celiac disease would not rule out gluten sensitivity...

    At the same time you're working to get your blood panel done you should also ask your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist to get a biopsy for DH. You may need a prescription drug to deal with the symptoms of DH, if that is what it is, although a gluten-free diet should, over time resolve the symptoms.

    Welcome to the forum! I agree with @trents and this article may be helpful for you to navigate the gluten-free diet better: However, you may have gluten sensitivity instead of celiac disease, and around ~12% of people have this while only about 1% have celiac disease, and there is currently no diagnostic test for it, although the treatment is...

    Welcome to the forum! You mentioned that some of your other family members have gluten sensitivity, did anyone ever get tested for celiac disease? It turns out that ~44% of first degree relatives of those with celiac disease also have it, and I've not seen studies on the prevalence of gluten sensitivity among direct relatives, but suspect it's also quite...

    Welcome! It would be interesting to see your first blood test results that were supposedly “clear.” Sometimes they show elevated antibodies, but below the cut off marks for celiac disease. Keep in mind, no matter the results, that only 1% of people have celiac disease, while ~12% have gluten sensitivity (non-celiac gluten sensitivity), and cur...

    Depending on her blood test results doctors are moving away from endoscopy to confirm a diagnosis. Feel free to share her results if you like, but perhaps you could discuss this situation with her doctor and either get the endoscopy appointment moved to a sooner date, or get her diagnosis based on the blood test results so that she can go gluten-free ASAP...

    For a blood test this article indicates 12 weeks, but there are other experts who say only 6-8 weeks.
