  1. Celiac.com 07/08/2021 - We've done a number of stories on gluten-free flours made from bugs. From cockroaches and crickets as the path to gluten-free bread nirvana, to an entire cookbook devoted to recipes made with cricket flour, we've...
  2. Your DGP test indicates that you have celiac disease, and that combined with your low iron issue and GI issues seem to confirm this. Be sure to keep eating gluten until all your tests are completed. It's possible that your doctor will want to do an endoscopy to confirm this, but it's also possible that they will diagnose you based on your over 10x the celiac...
  3. Thank you for the recipe and welcome to the forum! Does your wife have celiac disease? If so, she should not be eating any wheat, even wheat flour from Finland, as it still contains gliadin, the harmful component of wheat for those with CD.
  4. Thanks for the update! Oats are a common source of cross-contamination, and many "gluten-free" products made in Europe use Codex wheat starch, which contains very small amounts of gluten (supposedly under 20ppm, but I tested a pizza crust made by Nestle that was positive for gluten, but listed as "gluten-free"). Overall it sounds like the first...
  5. Celiac.com 07/07/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about ice cream. We did an article a while back listing more than...
  6. There is no scientific evidence that celiac disease can be reversed. There is some evidence that if treated for a prolonged time period with a gluten-free diet that it can go into remission, and then it may take months or even years to manifest should one start eating gluten again.
  7. I would not be sorry that you got the covid vaccine, as it may have already, or could save your life. Getting the vaccine isn't the same as getting the disease, and we've not seen any studies linking the vaccine with triggering celiac disease.
  8. Our goal here isn't to exacerbate any tribalism, but to teach celiacs to recognize common, negative attitudes and behavior towards those on a gluten-free diet. We see this happen over and over here, and this is an example of what can happen, even within a family:
  9. I recommend that you create an account and ask this question in our site's forum.
  10. The usual place to start is to look closely at your diet to be sure that it, including medications, toothpaste, lotions, etc., are 100% gluten-free. The arthritic symptoms you described are often linked to those with undiagnosed celiac disease, or those with poorly controlled celiac disease. Assuming your diet is in order and you're not getting any...
  11. Another brand of good pasta is Schar, but they may be harder to find.
  12. @Oldturdle the approach you described here may work for you, or an anti-social person, however, it won't work very well for the vast majority of gluten sensitive people who wish to continue to have positive social interactions with others after going gluten-free. This series of articles addresses many issues that gluten-free people face on a daily basis,...
  13. Celiac.com 07/06/2021 - People who have celiac disease have to eat a gluten-free diet, otherwise, they risk physical discomfort, intestinal damage, and potentially increased risks for numerous related conditions, and even deadly types...
  14. It's very likely that your doctor will prescribe a medication to treat your osteoporosis, but until then you might want to find "Citracal" which is available at Costco in the USA: https://www.citracal.com/ It contains Vitamin D, Calcium, and other minerals designed to help you absorb more calcium.
  15. Gaining weight could be normal for some people with celiac disease who are in recovery, and this is often caused by the recovery of damaged villi, so you are now absorbing nutrients better. Some people with celiac disease are actually overweight because they feel like they are starving all the time, and they actually are, so they over eat to compensate. To...
  16. For what it's worth, my daughter who is officially gluten sensitive and not a diagnosed celiac (high antibodies but just below the cut off for celiac disease, thus never did a biopsy) had one major symptom: the feeling that food was getting stuck in her esophagus. It bothered her so much that she decided to go gluten-free, and her symptoms went away. I believe...
  17. I looked at a few of their products and they do seem to be naturally gluten-free, but highly processed with tons of ingredients. They are made by Kraft Foods, which is very good about disclosing allergens. I did not see "Contains Wheat" on any I looked at: https://www.justcrackanegg.net/
  18. I'm sorry to hear that you're still having issues and had to go to the ER. Are you still eating the Kate Farms’s nutritional shakes each day? If so, I really think you should change this up and try making your own shakes from scratch, switching to whole foods you prepare, etc, and keeping a food diary. It's possible you have a separate intolerance t...
  19. I'm not aware of the Great Value brand having an issue with cross contamination, but there are certainly lots of other brands of dates that are unlikely to be contaminated. For example, dates from Arizona and California are grown in the desert where no wheat is grown for hundreds of miles: https://oasisdate.com/
  20. Some people have other sensitivities, for example to legumes. It's pretty unlikely that the frozen vegetables or the chicken would contain any gluten, but it's not impossible.
  21. Hello Emile and welcome to the forum. It's possible that your rash could be gluten-related if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but it would not be in an area that is typical for dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin condition associated with celiac disease. The only way to be sure would be to see a dermatologist about it (recommended)...
  22. Celiac.com 07/05/2021 - One of the many approaches to alternative treatments for celiac disease includes the inhibition of various bio-chemical or bio-mechanical factors that promote mucous damage in the guts of untreated celiacs. One...
