    Celiac.com 03/08/2021 - When people with celiac disease eat gluten, it triggers adaptive immune cells, which cause damage to the lining of the small intestine. Doctors gauge the severity of celiac disease through histological assessment...

    Is Majestic Guaradelli Cocoa Powder gluten-free? It isn't labelled "gluten-free" but is 100% cocoa so naturally gluten-free, and does not disclose wheat as an allergen:

    I take a magnesium citrate supplement daily, and when I first started taking it I did notice a laxative effect so stopped taking it for a few days, then added it back a few days later. I had to repeat this for a couple of weeks but my body adjusted to it, and I haven't had any issues with it for months now.

    You may want to take your doctor's advice, or at least consult with them regarding your alternative approach, as your levels are quite low.

    Many celiacs, including myself, are diagnosed with H. Pylori at the time of their celiac diagnosis. I was given antibiotics for it at the time, but clearly the reason I had this issue was the condition of my intestines at that time.

    @JenniK Most celiacs don’t have obvious symptoms, or are asymptomatic. I would follow your doctor’s instructions and get the blood test in a month. Let us know how it turns out.

    Welcome to the forum, this article might be helpful:

    To me it sounds like you have a wheat allergy in addition to a possible gluten sensitivity. In many cases I do think the gluten challenge is done too often, and many of the people who post on this forum have already figured out that they have a sensitivity to gluten, so they don’t really need to go on a challenge to get the medical diagnosis. Around 12% ...

    So if you eliminated all things that don’t have gluten-free on the label we’re talking about 95% of all foods. It’s important to be too strict too, as this can cause a lot of extra stress. I don’t expect my milk to be tested for gluten content, as well as many other naturally gluten-free foods.

    Welcome to the forum! Have you tried any probiotics? also many people with celiac disease have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Are you taking some good B complex vitamin supplements, vitamin D, magnesium citrate, Thiamine, etc.?

    Welcome to the forum @Reasie! In general your approach here is indeed the safest one, however many naturally gluten-free foods, for example dairy products, are not labeled gluten-free but are. Wheat isn’t used in shredded cheese products, and if it were it would need to be disclosed on the ingredients as an allergen.

    Well, after all this time running this site, it's nice to hear that there is a fringe benefit to having celiac disease! I would not feel guilty, and this now makes me wonder if celiacs worldwide should be bumped up into the early vaccination group?

    No worries...it's a forum discussion...jump in any time! I do not get itchy skin, but do feel like the higher values (I think my record is around 54%) makes me feel like I have a dull headache, and a general feeling of being unwell. After phlebotomy that unwell feeling goes away, as does the headache.

    To me it sounds like your wife's biggest issue is maintaining her 100% gluten-free diet. You are correct that it is very difficult, and if you two eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, it's likely she's getting some contamination: One good option if this is the case would be to use AN-PEP enzymes (GliadinX is a brand that makes them who...

    There are some great gluten-free pastas out there, for example Barilla and Schar make good ones that you probably could not tell were gluten-free, but are probably no low carb. There are also high protein pastas and breads, for example I've see soy-based ones that are ok.

    Hi Kate, welcome. Is there any chance you can get a copy of the blood test results and share them with us, including the ranges for the tests? Sometimes you can have elevated antibodies which fall a little below the cut off. When this happens it can indicate gluten sensitivity, which, at the very least, your detailed description of your symptoms after eating...

    Can you describe the main differences between the Autoimmune Paleo Diet and just a paleo diet?

    I know it can be confusing, and their site does say "no" to Baby Ruth being gluten-free, but they do not use any gluten ingredients in the bar. We revised the article to make this more clear. Here are the ingredients and allergen disclosures for the Baby Ruth bar:
