    I don't recall seeing any studies done that would compare antibody tests on a daily basis, but I believe they are known to be relatively stable. This means that it takes weeks for them to move up or down significantly, so if you've been gluten-free for a year or more you would need to eat gluten daily for at least 6-8 weeks, and perhaps up to 12 weeks, before...

    It's great that he's supporting you, and it will make your life much easier and worry-free compared to him eating and preparing foods with gluten in them at home.

    I too believe that replacing cookware may be excessive, especially if it is made of steel, aluminum or other metals. You should be able to scrub them clean enough to not get contamination, and if you wanted to be extra sure you could heat them on high on the stove or oven for a while to burn anything off.

    I think celiac disease is still more likely, however, I do know that a doctor is unlikely to make this diagnosis given a negative biopsy. So where does this leave patients? In my brother's case, that was very similar to this, they told him "good news, no celiac disease so you don't have to go gluten-free!" This happens often, even with positive blood tests...

    This article by Jean Duane PhD might be helpful, and she describes celiac disease as a "social disease":

    If this isn't a financial issue, I would get a DNA test, and if @CeliMomi got their child's biopsy results back, and they are negative, I would still suspect non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and consider consulting with the doctor about trying a gluten-free diet. The positive tests, and symptoms going away on a GFD, would likely confirm gluten sensitivity.

    Again, I've driven all over California's farming areas, and don't see any straw in the strawberry fields, but straw is gluten-free, even wheat straw. I am very skeptical of any claim that ANY farm or home grown strawberries would contain any gluten, even if wheat straw were used. A simple washing would remove anything on the outside. Are you worried that...

    Given that Tito's is a distilled beverage, no proteins are present in the end product anyway, so it should not make any difference it it's made with GMO corn or not, as you're not consuming any corn.

    Welcome to the forum! We've done many articles on pregnancy and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=pregnancy&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles and we've had people post here that their pregnancy actually triggered their celiac disease. Before going gluten-free it would be ideal if you could get a celiac...

    PS - I believe that in the USA "Spices" cannot contain gluten, and all wheat must be declared on the allergen statement.

    There is indeed a connection, and you can view some of our articles that mention this here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=Thrombocytopenic&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and

    Pesticides don't have gluten, you just want to consume as close to zero of them as possible. Some fruits use larger amounts, and types that are more toxic, and non-organic commercial strawberries and well known to be in this category.

    These would be a good place to start: Vitamin A deficiency Vitamin B1 deficiency Vitamin B6 deficiency Vitamin B12 deficiency Vitamin D deficiency Vitamin K deficiency Magnesium deficiency Zinc deficiency

    The average time is 2 years, and it could probably be faster if people knew about things like hidden gluten in food additives, cosmetics, etc., and if they took dietary supplementation seriously and tested for vitamin & mineral deficiencies. In my case I think it was a combination of not supplementing right away, and working at a desk too much,...

    I've had some bad years! Although my recovery seemed to be dramatic, that was just in comparison to how sick I had been before going gluten-free. There was an ~10-15 year period in my life afterwards where I have chronic stiff necks, major knots in my shoulders and neck, and around once per month I would wake up with such a bad stiff neck I could not turn...

    You are not alone, and there are many celiacs who report some of the things you're going through. Here is a summary of a recent study on dating and celiac disease. I think getting your diet under control, and getting healthy is every celiac's first priority, but learning how to deal with various social relationships while maintain a gluten-free diet isn't...

    I highly doubt strawberries would contain any measurable gluten, even IF they used straw under them (if heard of home gardeners doing this, but have never seen it done here in California in commercial strawberry fields...and even IF they did it, straw does not contain gluten). Strawberries are a very common fruit allergy which can be quite severe in some...

    I would check into a possible corn intolerance, as Barilla is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
