    Just make sure the meds are gluten-free! Yes, some use wheat starch and other ingredients. This list may be helpful for food ingredients:

    That is interesting, and I will try to get a copy of this study and summarize it. Let us know how things turn out.

    If you are still eating gluten-free I would still request a blood test. As mentioned, some celiacs don't have villi damage, or the gastro doctor doesn't take a biopsy in the right area, and the blood results should actually be done in order to diagnose CD.

    I use the one who is an advertiser here called "GliadinX" and after I started using them every time I eat outside my home I stopped having issues. We've published many articles here summarizing studies that show that people who eat out regularly, like myself, get regular amounts of contamination, almost no matter how careful the restaurant claims to be. I...

    I've not heard of this symptom being related to going gluten-free, so I agree with @BuddhaBar here, and think that it could be caused by stress or other issues. For myself I notice I always sleep best when I exercise during the day, and avoid caffeine after noon.

    I did a search and found this article: https://theceliacdiva.com/gluten-free-exfoliant/

    These are great questions, and I'm not sure about this, but believe that they would likely follow proper protocols for storing and shipping the samples. It would be great to get an answer about these questions from them directly, have you tried asking Quest Diagnostics?

    We've done many articles on NCGS/NCWS, and these might be helpful:

    Hi Nancy, welcome to the forum. Please note that it's best to post in all lower case, than all capital letters, as the latter is considered something like yelling 😲. There are many products that are naturally gluten-free, although the safest options are ones with "gluten-free" on their label, or even better, certified gluten-free. If you have a ...

    Celiac disease, almost by definition, involves villi damage, although they are now diagnosing celiac disease more often via blood test results alone. In the past villi damage was basically a pre-requisite to a diagnosis. After much learning over 25 years, I like to think that villi damage is the end stage of celiac disease, and doctors should use blood...

    Everyone encounters a few bumps in the road during recovery, but it sounds like you've now figured the diet out. I think the hardest part, at least for me, is eating outside your home, which I still do. I'm careful, but just in case take AN-PEP enzymes before I eat anything outside my home.

    This is great to hear, and hopefully this positive trend will continue in the months ahead. For me it was probably around the 1-2 year mark that I started to realize how "normal" people felt.

    Can you share what parasitic infection they found? I'm still not sure how a parasitic infection would increase your TTG score.

    I agree with @trents, this is akin to a person's blood sugar being 1 point below the cut off line for diabetes, and the doctor saying that you've passed the test--there is nothing wrong here--no need to make any dietary changes! In this case you're just below the cut off point, and people who don't have any autoimmune issues with gluten would never,...

    Welcome to the forum! Is there a chance that you could post the full blood test results here, along with the high marker/cut off for celiac disease? This info could be very helpful to better understand your results.
  16. Scott Adams
    Yes, they are naturally gluten-free. You can check ingredients of foods against this listing:

    Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you should definitely stay on a strict gluten-free diet, and it is too bad you had to go through this. To me it doesn't sound like you need a test to justify you staying on this diet. Recovery time can vary, but most people feel much better within a few weeks, so hopefully you will notice some big changes soon.

    Hi Jett, welcome to the forum! You may already know this but in order to get a blood test for celiac disease you need to eat gluten daily for at least 6 weeks, otherwise you may get false negative results. I’m not sure how long you’ve been on the gluten-free diet, but it sounds like you found out already that it has helped you a lot with your sym...

    Our pleasure, and it's great to hear you're doing well!

    You would be surprised...some of the best gluten-free products come from Italy. Barilla gluten-free pasta is an example, and you could not tell the difference between it and wheat pasta. They actually mass screen kids for celiac disease in many areas of Italy, and so their diagnosis rate is higher than many other European countries.

    She should consider a blood test for celiac disease. ~44% of first degree relatives of celiacs also have it.

    Due to the fact that beer is fermented and filtered, even regular beer would be considered low gluten, although not necessarily gluten-free. We've done at least one article on this topic: So I'm not advising that you continue, however you likely want to avoid weizen beers, and go for clear ones. Also, there are beers in Germany that are rendered gluten...

    In case your doctor didn't mention this, you need to keep eating gluten daily until all tests for celiac disease are completed.
