    Clearly this is a big issue for the certification organization, and it may take lawsuits to stop this from happening. You can't blame the GFCO for this though, as it is clearly rogue food companies putting this on their products without authorization. In reality, the GF and use of "gluten-free" is tough to protect via a trademark. For example, way back...

    Please back up your claims with links to these "independent" tests.

    Have you looked all of the inactive ingredients? Perhaps you are sensitive to one of them? I use Nature Made available at Costco, and one thing I recall is that it's very important to get fresh fish oil, as it can turn rancid if it sits for weeks before you take it. Costco has a very high turnover, thus it generally is fresh when you buy it.

    Yes, this is interesting, and I do like the approach in treatment of not using drugs that cut acid production as a first resort.

    The number one reason is not being 100% gluten-free, perhaps because you eat at restaurants, or you've got something you eat regularly that is contaminated. Other reasons include the following, and we happen to have an article that will be live in a couple of days just this topic: Lactose Intolerance Helicobacter Pylori Small Bowel...

    Steroids are typically only used in non-responsive, or refractory celiac disease cases, which you can read more about here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

    On our safe list this would be "Gelatin," which is gluten-free: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Numbering_System_for_Food_Additives

    I just want to point out that there is an increased risk of T-Cell Lymphoma in those with untreated celiac disease, and this is usually diagnosed in the same year as a celiac disease diagnosis. I don't want to scare you, as this is a rare condition, but here are some articles on it, and you may want to discuss this with your doctor, as I believe weight loss...

    More information about "Should Doctors Recommend a Gluten-Free Diet for All Elderly Celiac Patients?"
    Celiac.com 04/05/2021 - Celiac disease is highly under diagnosed in the elderly population, partly because it can vary so widely in its presentations, and partly because doctors lack awareness of the potential for celiac disease in older...

    Is there any chance it contains oats? Around 10% of celiac cannot tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free oats.

    This is a great site to search for gluten in meds: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/index.cfm

    A genetic test is a good way to go for your mom! If she has the genetic makeup she should follow up with a screening for celiac disease.

    This article has more info, even though it's rather old:

    Celiac.com 04/03/2021 - We get a lot of questions from people wondering which brands of over the counter drugs are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. We especially get a lot of questions about Advil PM. Specifically...

    Welcome to the forum! Yes, it would be great if you can provide us with the cut off marker for your TTG test. That would give us more information about where you stand with regard to possibly having celiac disease.

    Around 44% of first-degree relatives will also have or get celiac disease, so be sure to talk with your family about it and encourage them to get a blood test.

    This finding is definitely interesting and well hopefully lead to better treatments for COVID-19, and I’m glad to see that there is research which shows that people with celiac disease are at no higher risk for complications due to COVID-19.

    Many celiacs do not have any obvious symptoms, yet their health risk is still the same. This search will guide you to some research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=asymptomatic&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy

    The next step might by an endoscopy, and if you do this you need to eat gluten daily for at least two weeks before for the results to be accurate. I would not worry too much about how much damage there might be at this point, because that's why the endoscopy is done, to find this out. If you do have gut damage it will start healing immediately on a gluten...

    Welcome to the forum! Wow, 2,500 is a very high reading! I agree with @GFinDC that it can take months for this to go down, but the single most important thing is to not eat any hidden gluten, including cross-contamination at restaurants, which is quite common. This article may be helpful:

    One small clarification, you would need to eat a slice of wheat bread daily for about 6 weeks before getting a blood test for celiac disease, so I can understand your reluctance to do this if the symptoms make you too uncomfortable, however, there would be no way to ever know if you have celiac disease or not without doing this. That said, it does sound...
