    Yes, be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all celiac disease testing is completed, otherwise you may end up with false-negative results.

    Hi Ollie, welcome to the forum! I agree with everything @cristiana shared with you here. As she mentioned, there is a 44% chance that some of your first degree relatives may also have celiac disease, so be sure to let them know that they really should get a blood test for it as well, and many celiacs don't have symptoms. You may also want to get screened...

    I agree with @trents and believe that had you continued to eat gluten daily your blood tests would likely have been higher levels, and if you mentioned to your doctor that you were mostly gluten-free leading up to those tests I'm sure they would agree (if they know much about how these tests work anyway!). Going gluten-free in Japan isn't that hard,...

    you might want to go down the checklist in this article and try to make sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free, including all medications, skin care products, etc. Many celiac’s have additional food intolerance issues, so you might want to keep a food diary to find any other foods that might cost you issues. Casein or cows milk intolerance is a very c...

    In this case I would opt for one of the ones that don’t use barley, as there are many listed above in the list.

    I’m due to be retested next week and will post the results. Of course a single test could just be coincidence.

    The only way to find out for sure would be to get tested for celiac disease. It’s a simple blood test so perhaps you should do that before you go Gluten-Free? You need to be eating gluten daily for at least 6 to 8 weeks before any blood test. Here are some articles about celiac disease in relation to thyroid issues: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-a...

    Interestingly mine was lower than normal when checked about 3 weeks ago, which was after my 2nd vaccine.

    Welcome to the forum! It's definitely important for your child to be screened for celiac disease using a blood test BEFORE he goes wheat or gluten-free. Now would be a great time to do that, and you may already know that celiac disease has a genetic component, so it's certainly possible that your mother has it and is self diagnosed. If your mother has it...

    What you said about care home makes total sense, and here in the USA finding care for the elderly that includes 100% gluten-free meals is difficult at best. Let us know how it turns out. Here are our articles on Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

    I think you mean GliadinX...and they DO make something like it...it's available. Yes, it's safe to take regularly, I've been doing so for a couple of years now with zero issues. I've taken 4 at one time with no issues.
  12. Scott Adams
    Good call on the GliadinX, and I would just add that I have no issue bringing my own gluten-free buns with me to such events, or even to restaurants that don't offer a gluten-free bun. I usually just ask them to put the hot dog on a paper plate, and you'll do the rest.

    I don't have Enteropathic Arthritis, and I've not heard of it being directly linked to celiac disease, but it would not surprise me if there were a link. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis have both been linked to it: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/ /celiac-disease/celiac-disease...

    Another thought is that you've cut out sources of fiber, which may be causing you issues. You may need to add psyllium fiber powder or other fiber to your diet if you've cut out all grains. Beans and lentils are a great idea.

    We've done a couple of recent articles on this topic that may be helpful:

    This depends on what you consider to be drugs vs. nutraceuticals. I know that some on this forum have been able to lower their cholesterol via vitamin supplements, and this thread covers that approach well: There are also ancient Chinese ways to do this by using a supplement called red yeast rice, which is a naturally occurring fungus I believe, which...

    It's possible that your diet is causing you to miss certain key vitamins or minerals, and if you skip large varieties of fruits or vegetables it would be a great idea for you to take a good multi-vitamin & minerals. If possible it might be a good idea for you to have your doctor test you for any deficiencies.

    I take NatureMade and don't see any ingredients that would include casein or dairy: https://www.naturemade.com/collections/burp-less-fish-oil-fish-oil-collection-page/products/nature-made-fish-oil-1-000-mg-softgels-burp-less#slfe-tab-two

    I think if you took a good multivitamin & mineral supplement, and made sure your diet had enough fiber, you can get by with only spinach, asparagus and green beans as your vegetables. Of course, the better solution would be for you to do all you can to add more vegetables and fruit into your diet. Perhaps try some different fruits and veggies that you...

    I haven't seen any studies linking the two, however, others with this condition have discussed it in our forum, and they also have gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=costochondritis&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy

    Due to the fact that you're actively trying to get pregnant it would make sense for you to go gluten-free now, because if you do have celiac disease (one positive blood test like the one you shared is enough to make this a good possibility), it could definitely affect your pregnancy. A gluten-free diet, as long as your supplementing, getting enough fiber...

    Welcome to the forum @suila! Most of us have shared our experiences, sometimes many times, here already. Can you tell us more about your "hardest of times," and how going gluten-free helped you?
  23. Scott Adams
    I do find it odd that your gastroenterologist seems to already be trying to explain away what he may have seen by bringing up NSAID's. It's also bad that they didn't mention the need to be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy. In any case, let us know how that goes, but I think @trents is correct, at the very least it does sound...
  24. Scott Adams
    If going gluten-free has offered you such obvious and dramatic relief from your symptoms, and eating it is causing you so many serious health issues, can I ask why you feel the need to get the formal diagnosis? You may have celiac disease, as you do have the genetic DQ8 marker for it, and have symptoms that have gone away when you went gluten-free, but to...
