    I did get the full Alcat testing done, and received a very detailed report from them which contained about 4 items on the "severe" list that surprised me, but were easily avoidable as I didn't eat them often. The moderate list had items on it that also surprised me, including brown and white rice, sorghum, mustard seed, coffee, and other things, and I'm supposed...

    I would say 4 servings.

    More information about "Are Planter's Peanuts Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 04/06/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about snack products, especially peanuts. Specifically, are Planter's Peanuts gluten...

    Welcome to the forum! Your symptoms could be consistent with either celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but since you've gone gluten-free already you can't be screened for this. You need to be eating gluten daily for at least 6 weeks before a blood test for celiac disease will be accurate. However, if the diet works for you an the symptoms go away...

    I think it goes without saying that it is terrible that a company would use a false gluten-free certification, and it's my hope that the GFCO sues them and puts a stop to it. My point about their old logo is that it's vague, and hard to protect legally. I'm not 100% sure they can stop companies from putting "GF" in a circle on their packages...it's just a...

    If the outbreaks are DH then it is possible that either something you are eating, or something you are using on your skin could be causing them...or both. The first step would be to make 100% sure that your diet is indeed gluten-free. Is it possible that a flour you are using is contaminated? Do you eat out? There are many possible ways gluten could...

    I'm not sure I've heard this question before, but it is an interesting one. Flipping through the pages could easily spread gluten around. I can only tell you what I would do in this case, which is take the book and cards outside and flip through the pages quickly a dozen or more times to get any flour out. Do the same with the cards. When using either in...

    There are pros and cons to an official diagnosis that everyone should consider. Once you are diagnosed you will be faced with higher life, and possibly health, insurance rates, for the rest of your life. Life insurance could also be harder to get. The pros to getting diagnosed is that you can get follow up testing and care that your insurance would likely...

    Clearly this is a big issue for the certification organization, and it may take lawsuits to stop this from happening. You can't blame the GFCO for this though, as it is clearly rogue food companies putting this on their products without authorization. In reality, the GF and use of "gluten-free" is tough to protect via a trademark. For example, way back...

    Please back up your claims with links to these "independent" tests.

    Have you looked all of the inactive ingredients? Perhaps you are sensitive to one of them? I use Nature Made available at Costco, and one thing I recall is that it's very important to get fresh fish oil, as it can turn rancid if it sits for weeks before you take it. Costco has a very high turnover, thus it generally is fresh when you buy it.

    Yes, this is interesting, and I do like the approach in treatment of not using drugs that cut acid production as a first resort.

    The number one reason is not being 100% gluten-free, perhaps because you eat at restaurants, or you've got something you eat regularly that is contaminated. Other reasons include the following, and we happen to have an article that will be live in a couple of days just this topic: Lactose Intolerance Helicobacter Pylori Small Bowel...

    Steroids are typically only used in non-responsive, or refractory celiac disease cases, which you can read more about here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

    Thanks for this info...get vaccinated!

    On our safe list this would be "Gelatin," which is gluten-free: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Numbering_System_for_Food_Additives

    I just want to point out that there is an increased risk of T-Cell Lymphoma in those with untreated celiac disease, and this is usually diagnosed in the same year as a celiac disease diagnosis. I don't want to scare you, as this is a rare condition, but here are some articles on it, and you may want to discuss this with your doctor, as I believe weight loss...

    More information about "Should Doctors Recommend a Gluten-Free Diet for All Elderly Celiac Patients?"
    Celiac.com 04/05/2021 - Celiac disease is highly under diagnosed in the elderly population, partly because it can vary so widely in its presentations, and partly because doctors lack awareness of the potential for celiac disease in older...

    Is there any chance it contains oats? Around 10% of celiac cannot tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free oats.

    This is a great site to search for gluten in meds: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/index.cfm

    A genetic test is a good way to go for your mom! If she has the genetic makeup she should follow up with a screening for celiac disease.
