    I believe you're doctor is correct, and a formal diagnosis may not be necessary (especially if you live in such a remote area). If you've already seen a connection with your rashes and gluten, and they go away when you are gluten-free, then staying gluten-free should be your primary goal. This can be difficult and this article may be helpful:

    Her doctors are correct and the first thing that you should look at is whether there might be hidden sources of gluten in her diet, and I agree, she may have other food intolerance issues and casein/dairy is a very common one. This article may be helpful:

    From the symptoms you describe and her two positive results, it does look like she may have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the treatment for either is the same, a gluten-free diet. The final confirmation would be the biopsy results, but even if that comes back negative, the true test would be if her symptoms go away on a gluten-free...

    Did you do a blood panel for celiac disease? That would be the normal first test done, before an endoscopy. If not it sounds like your doctor really messed up in many ways, especially when he told you that being gluten-free before any tests was ok. If you go the diagnosis route you will need to eat around 2 sliced of bread daily for 6-8 weeks for the blood...

    @Aint_this_a... welcome to the forum! Making the transition to a gluten-free lifestyle can be daunting at first, but after you gain more knowledge dealing with the diet will become easier. Hopefully seeing your health improve will provide you with the motivation. It's also important to get your direct relatives screened for it, as there is an ~44% chance...

    Believe it or not, there has been some research done on tobacco and celiac disease, and it seems to somehow mask it's symptoms, and possibly even prevent it. Here are the articles we've done on this, but certainly more research needs to be done: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=cigarette&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles...

    One question I have is which comes first? Does a virus that might trigger celiac disease in someone with the genetic propensity for it cause malabsorption, which then causes issues absorbing B vitamins and other nutrients that leads to a cascade of different symptoms? Or, absent any gut damage, would low B vitamins be a trigger of celiac disease. In...

    I fully agree with your assessment of the mental health issues you’ve addressed, and my comments weren’t meant in any way to disparage anyone in the mental health community, or those who legitimately need medications for mental health issues. That said I’ve heard too many stories over the years of non-mental health experts—GP doctors—writing off those...

    Just FYI we do have “Clubs” in this forum, and anyone is free to start one. You can start any type of club you want, but the broader the scope the more possible people would join. https://www.celiac.com/clubs/

    Your daughter is no expert on vaccines, sorry. But let's not forget--you are here seeking to find a doctor who will write you a note to excuse your daughter from getting a vaccine when she goes back to a university, where she will be interacting with dozens of people daily. The reason you will have a hard time finding a doctor to do this is because you could...

    Welcome to the forum! While it's possible for someone with celiac disease, especially if left untreated, to get lymphoma, it is still highly unlikely. Also, from the studies we've summarized here: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/cancer-lymphoma-and-celiac-disease/ the overall risk seems to diminish over time once a celiac...

    At least one person has reported that a pre-packaged gluten-free brownie is available in some Dunkin' Donuts locations.

    Dr Peter McCullough, according to his own bio anyway, is an internist and cardiologist, not a virologist or infectious disease doctor. His bio does not mention being an epidemiologist, but, even it he is, that still would not give him the expertise needed to be taken seriously in the field of virology. His opinion on the topic of virology is one of a...

    You are correct that some people might get a reaction to 20ppm, however, most won't, and items with "gluten-free" are not fortified with gluten up 19ppm, which seems to be the perception among many celiacs. In many cases keeping manufactured foods below 20ppm is not much different from keeping them below 5ppm, and the companies in fact are likely aiming...

    Most don’t but some do. If you have celiac disease you should never eat gluten. I would not recommend it even for those who are just gluten sensitive, but in theory their health risks are lower than those with celiac disease.
  20. Scott Adams
    Yes, in the USA if labeled gluten-free they must test below 20ppm, which is considered a safe level for celiacs. Super sensitive celiacs often only eat certified gluten-free products, which certify to less that 10ppm.

    Sorry, but the link you shared doesn't cut it. It's too bad you can't differentiate between scientific publications and good data vs. non-scientific and bad data. I wish you and your daughter well, and that if you get covid-19 you will be in the group of those who have minor symptoms.

    Luckily your new doctor can't insist that you don't go gluten-free! 😉

    So you ate regular gluten-containing pizza? If so, I'm just curious why you would do that? There are lots of gluten-free choices out there, even one that contains wheat starch and tastes like real pizza:
