    More information about "Girl Scouts Add a New Cookie to Their Arsenal"
    Celiac.com 08/31/2021 - Girl Scout cookie season doesn't begin until January, but that hasn't stopped Girl Scouts of the USA from teasing us with an announcement of their newest cookie flavor, a chocolate sea salt caramel cookie called...

    I am also skeptical of this "bioresonance" testing. To me it sounds like classic pseudo science, and I doubt there have been any scientific studies done on it to show that it is effective: However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a real thing that has been studied, and fairly recently described as a separate condition from celiac disease. So far...

    Here is an older article on the connection between celiac disease and Addison's: /celiac-disease/connection-seen-between-celiac-and-addison's-disease-r1208/

    Most of the research we've summarized over 25 years does indicate that even celiacs who are asymptomatic do still have the same risks as those with symptoms, including but not limited to a higher risk of intestinal lymphoma (cancer), as well as lots of related diseases and disorders like Type 1 diabetes. Is it possible that others around you are not...

    Welcome to the forum! So if I understand your post correctly, you've never been diagnosed with celiac disease or DH, but you've noticed some skin blistering that may be associated with gluten consumption. If this is correct, and you are still consuming gluten, now would be a good time for you to get a blood panel test for celiac disease. In a perfect world...

    It sounds like you are in the super sensitive category, and we have some of the contains that you describe here. They are great for storage, and reheating things in the oven, but depending on what is inside I've noticed that when they heat up the lid often pops off unless you crack it so that steam can escape. If this is of concern to you, you could also...

    Gluten withdrawal is real, and can take at least two to three weeks to get past it. Sugar is very addictive as well, and refined sugar, in my opinion, is more like a drug than a food.

    I'm no expert on SIBO test results, but it looks like a positive test result to me as well. I suspect they will offer you treatment for it, which may include antibiotics.

    I think taking good probiotics might be helpful. You might also try eliminating casein/dairy for a time, to see if this might be contributing to the issue. This is the most common intolerance for those with celiac disease.

    I've experienced similar things when taking B12 supplements, and for me, especially improved memory. I think most celiacs should supplement B vitamins, especially B12, and take D as well.

    It sounds like you have oat intolerance, which about 9% of celiacs have. Cheerios cereals marked "gluten-free" are indeed gluten-free.

    Welcome to the forum @MelodyRKHP! Yes, you could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which is a medically recognized condition that recent research has shown to be a separate condition from celiac disease, and ~12% of people have this, while only 1% of people have celiac disease. Unfortunately they haven't yet developed a test for this condition. You...

    I agree with @RMJ as the enzyme is commonly available and has been used in the beer brewing industry for decades as a clarifying agent, so there is no interest by pharmaceutical companies in pursuing it as a prescription treatment for celiac disease. It has, however, been studied well for its ability to break down gluten. You can read those studies here:...

    One of our sponsors here is GliadinX, which is an AN-PEP based enzyme that has been showing in many studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. I love to eat out, but noticed that around half the time I seemed to be getting some trace gluten, even if a restaurant had a gluten-free menu. One experience I...

    More information about "FDA Rule on Gluten-Free Labeling of Fermented and Hydrolyzed Foods Now in Effect"
    Celiac.com 08/30/2021 - In August of 2020, the FDA issued a final rule regarding gluten-free labeling of fermented and hydrolyzed foods. The rule established a compliance date of August 13, 2021. The rule doesn't change the gluten...

    Recovery can take up to two years, especially since you had Marsh III lesions. I agree with @trents and you should explore going casein/dairy-free as well as other possible food intolerance issues. The good news is that many of these food intolerance issues may go away once you fully heal. This article may help:

    To me it sounds like self diagnosis may work for you. A side benefit will be lower life insurance, and possibly private health insurance, premiums for life. On the down side it may be harder for you to get follow up medical care, but many people who are diagnosed don’t seem to be getting this anyway. I have excellent health insurance through Kaiser, ...

    Double check your diet and make sure there is no hidden gluten, which means that you may need to stop eating outside your home if possible, and avoid restaurants. The average time to villi and symptom recovery is two years, but this can likely be one year or less if you’re diet is 100% GF.
  20. Scott Adams
    To me it seems like your tTg should be lower after two years, so I agree with @trents that you should focus more on eliminating cross-contamination, and probably one of the biggest factors of all would be eating outside your home. Restaurants, even if they offer gluten-free menus, are often sources of cross-contamination. PS - There is some evidence in...

    Ok, how long have you been gluten-free?
  22. Scott Adams
    I’m glad the #1 flour mix recipe might work for you. Interestingly that recipe, and the others there, are among the oldest posts on this site, dating back to ~1996. Back then celiacs had to spend lots of time experimenting in the kitchen if they ever wanted to eat the things they loved again.
  23. Scott Adams
    Also, it would be important to know how long you’ve been on the gluten-free diet.
  24. Scott Adams
    You might need to contact the maker on this one.

    I too would go with regular wheat bread, but perhaps you can find an organic and/or whole-grain one that doesn’t use Roundup?
