    I should also mention that iron levels, low or high might cause a breathing issue like this as a symptom. I have chronic high red blood cell counts and need to do phlebotomy regularly. I notice that I get this symptom sometimes when my count is on the high side.

    I agree with @trents and would keep him on a gluten-free diet, and after a year on the diet get another endoscopy done to see if his villi recovered. He should also be checked for vitamin/mineral deficiencies, as they go hand in hand with damaged villi, and he likely needs supplements. I would also get the genetic test for celiac disease markers if possible...

    Welcome to the forum! Something you mentioned confuses me: So can I assume that they did a blood test and said he didn't have celiac disease? If so, can you get and share those blood test results with us? Also, celiac disease can be diagnosed with blood tests, and/or via endoscopy--flattened villi. If he had "total villous atrophy" at any...

    I took a look at their Web site FAQ and it says: https://hukitchen.helpdocs.io/article/xsjbgdextv-are-all-of-your-products-gluten-free So I doubt they would contain any gluten. Certified products must be below 10ppm. Could it be the high cocoa level in this? In some people, cocoa can trigger IBS-like symptoms.

    Keep in mind here that nothing on this forum should replace the medical advice from your doctor, and you should discuss this with them before doing it. I think if you approach them with the idea of trying a different approach for a couple of months because the current one isn't working for you they might agree that such a short term test would not be a bad...

    After reading through their site it's doubtful that this product contains any gluten, but you are correct, as "no gluten added" is not the same as "gluten-free." You may want to call the company and see if it's made on lines shared to make other supplements, as cross-contamination could be a possibility. Certain probiotics can cause stomach issues in...

    Canker sores are a common symptom of celiac disease, and usually go away after months or longer on a 100% gluten-free diet. This article might be helpful: and here are other threads and articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=canker&quick=1

    The article is from a 2010 issue of our paper publication, so it's doubtful the author will respond.

    If you have a good doctor that can accept that you have gluten sensitivity you should still be able to get a prescription for Dapsone if you need it, but you could always discuss this with your doctor beforehand. I agree that if you're convinced that gluten is the cause of your severe symptoms, and you feel great after going gluten-free, then there is no...

    We get this from Costco and all ingredients are listed and none contain gluten.

    We've done a follow up article here: 1 out of 2 of the pizzas we bought tested positive for gluten using a Nima Sensor.

    I agree with @trents that enough gluten could have been removed from the sourdough bread to make you pass the test, and here are some articles on this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=sourdough&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles Can I ask about why it's so important to get a positive test? Most people have non-celiac gluten...

    06/20/2024 - Update: DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza was reformulated, and is now 100% gluten AND wheat-free. Gluten-free wheat starch is no longer used in the product, and I can say that the new forumula tastes outstanding! This excellent...

    Sort of, but maybe not a contradiction…so what I mean is that some people with gluten sensitivity may have elevated antibodies, but they are still below the cut off for celiac disease, and they may also not have flattened villi. They are in the grey area where they are have a reaction to gluten, but just not one that fits the definition of celiac disease. ...

    It definitely sounds to me like most if not all of your symptoms could be related to undiagnosed celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. That said you need to keep eating gluten until you get a blood panel done and possibly until you get a follow up biopsy after that. Unfortunately there is currently no test for gluten sensitivity, So you may want to consider...

    Even with low IgA blood test results can still be accurate, but only IF they follow the protocol in this article:

    I think they gave you good advice, and I’d also go with a gluten-free diet ASAP. Be sure to let your direct relatives know, as they should also be screened for it, as ~44% of direct relatives will also have it.

    So if you have celiac disease and only recently went gluten-free the lingering symptom can be caused by the prolonged nutrient deficiencies that you've likely experienced, and it can take months to years to fully recover (we ran an article years ago on a study that found that the average time to recovery was 2 years).
