  1. PS - To be on the safe side, I would still avoid these products. BTW, there is also a long running debate about whether strawberries are contaminated with gluten when wheat straw is used under the plants, which is a common farming practice for a variety of reasons.
  2. PS - I agree with @Mari, and it works best when taken right before eating anything that might be contaminated, but in the case of the review above, my mother took it ~5-10 minutes after finishing her last bite of regular pie.
  3. Although this is a paid review which I wrote after receiving a free bottle from them, it is a true story. I had planned to take a couple before eating out for a few weeks, then write the review, however, a situation developed that changed the entire course of my review:
  4. Celiac.com 06/02/2025 - Researchers have known for years that a gluten-free diet can delay or even reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes in a special kind of lab mouse known as the nonobese diabetic mouse. However, the exact reasons why removing...
  5. It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (...
  6. Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating c...
  7. I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like ne...
  8. Since you have a confirmed celiac disease diagnosis alongside severe IgA deficiency, consulting an immunologist is a reasonable step to better understand the implications of your immune status. While many IgA-deficient individuals remain asymptomatic, the deficiency can occasionally be linked to increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmune conditions...
  9. I've spoken to the founder of GliadinX and you that would be a good approach--but I'm assuming you're eating gluten-free options and worried about cross-contamination. I do this myself when eating in restaurants and traveling. If you know you accidently eat a lot of gluten you can safely ramp up the dosage and take 4 or 5, according to my conversations.
  10. Celiac.com 05/31/2025 - Sinigang, the beloved Filipino sour soup, has been warming homes for generations. Traditionally made with tamarind as its signature souring agent, this comforting dish varies by region—some versions use green m...
  11. Celiac.com 05/30/2025 - Traveling with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity requires more planning than most vacations, but it shouldn’t hold you back from exploring the world. With the right tools, preparation, and mindset, you can e...
  12. Good point, as thyroid conditions are more common in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/
  13. @DebD5 it sounds like you are in the super sensitive celiac disease zone--and if so your reactions are real, and not psychological, as your doctor implied. It's also possible you have other dietary triggers so be sure to look at that article in my last post in this thread.
  14. Celiac.com 05/29/2025 - Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face a higher risk of developing celiac disease (CD) compared to the general population. Diagnosing celiac disease in these children can be challenging because symptoms are often...
  15. Wishing you lots of luck--let us know how it turns out!
  16. Parent-to-parent, I hear your exhaustion and worry loud and clear – what you’re describing goes far beyond typical toddler troubles. Your daughter’s screaming night pain, terrible bloating, stalled growth, and constant infections are textbook red flags for celiac disease or another serious gluten-related condition. While her blood test came back negative, ther...
  17. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
  18. Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative...
  19. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...
  20. I give this advice to everyone who is considering quitting their job: always try to line up a new job before you quit. Why? Because it's easier to find a job when you have one--unemployment for a stretch of time can be hard to explain, especially if the period of unemployment is prolonged. Also, unless you're independently wealthy or have family support,...
  21. Celiac.com 05/28/2025 - Lumpiang Sariwa, or "fresh spring rolls," traces its origins to Chinese influence on Filipino cuisine during centuries of trade. Unlike its fried counterpart, this delicate version celebrates fresh, crisp vegetables...
