  1. The destruction varies from person to person, which makes it harder to detect using endoscopy. Some people just have small patches, while others have vast areas that have been affected.
  2. I think it's a great idea. If you get enough people interested feel free to post the event on our calendar: https://www.celiac.com/calendar/
  3. Celiac.com 04/13/2021 - If you're looking for a nutritious delicious salad that's perfect perfect for early spring, this sugar snap pea salad is the perfect way to celebrate spring. Serve it with your favorite grilled fish and lime wedges...
  4. Note that only about 1% of people have celiac disease, but around 12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. They are still doing research to find a way to screen for NCGS, but currently they don't have a reliable way to do this. Dr. Kenneth Fine of Enterolab claims that his stool testing can do this, and many people on this forum stand by his methods. He also...
  5. I've never seen such a study, but your question is certainly worthy of a study.
  6. One thing to keep in mind, just in case her biopsy results are negative, is that about 1% of people have celiac disease, but around 12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and they are still doing research to find a way to screen for NCGS. Given her positive DPG test she almost certainly has gluten sensitivity to some degree, so it would be a good idea for...
  7. You can read more about meat glue here:
  8. Also, I've been taking benfotaimine (B1) and Magnesium Citrate which helped with my neuropathy.
  9. Hayter's Turkey Products Inc. is recalling Hayter's Farm brand Onion & Parsley Turkey Burgers from the marketplace because it contains 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. Recalled products Brand Product ...
  10. It's interesting that one is positive, and the other looks normal, but I would still consider it a positive test result for celiac disease. Were you gluten-free for a time before you did the blood test? This could skew the results.
  11. Hopefully you were not gluten-free for very long before your blood test, as it will lower your values. Please share the blood test results when you get them, but it sounds to me like you already have your answer, and will be avoiding gluten.
  12. Hi Stef, nice to see you back! I'm sorry to hear about the glutening and the never issues. We've go lots of articles here on this topic, so perhaps you can go through some to show to your doctor? https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/
  13. Celiac.com 04/12/2021 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small bowel, classically associated with diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nutritional deficiencies. Rapid diagnosis of celiac disease is important, since strict adherence...
  14. There are many celiacs with no symptoms, but in your case all the symptoms you described could be related to undiagnosed celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS): Also, inflammation, especially in your small intestine, could cause the bowel moment issues you are having. Be sure that you continue to eat gluten daily until all...
  15. There are drawbacks to getting a diagnosis, for example higher life (and possibly health) private insurance costs, and policies can be harder to get. In your case, given your severe symptoms I agree with your doctor--even if the test were negative for celiac disease you still have gluten sensitivity, something they can yet test for, and the outcome is...
  16. Welcome to the forum! Did you also get a blood test for celiac disease? The normal protocol would be a blood test, followed by a biopsy if the blood test results indicate possible celiac disease. I only mention this because I assume that you were eating gluten daily until you did the biopsy, and if the biopsy isn't definitive you will likely wish you...
  17. It's pretty well documented that these vaccines, especially the 2nd dose, can cause gastro issues which can be bad in some people. It may feel like the symptoms of celiac disease, but probably isn't related.
  18. In this case it might be worth a call to the company to see if they can discuss the likelihood of contamination. With meat products all machinery is normally cleaned extremely well between product runs, which is mostly done to avoid problems with bacteria. Another option is to take and AN-PEP enzyme that could break down small amounts of gliadin contamination...
