    I've not had my levels checked yet for B1, so unfortunately I don't know. My assumption is that in my case, this fat soluble version of B1 is being absorbed better, and it, along with magnesium citrate, seem to be helping with this issue. On a side note, my doctor has only checked me twice for vitamin levels, and only when I asked. My doctor is aware of my...

    Welcome to the forum! The test results you shared are genetic test results, and for those tests it doesn't matter whether or not you are eating any gluten when you take them--your genes don't vary. In your case it looks like you do have some genetic markers that make getting celiac disease a possibility, but this alone does not mean that you have celiac...

    More information about "Can Red Potato Pulp Improve Gluten-free Bread Nutrition and Quality?"
    Celiac.com 02/25/2021 - Numerous starch-based gluten-free breads are made with corn, potato starch and hydrocolloids, all of which are low in nutrients and devoid of health promoting compounds. These types of bread have some advantages...

    Hello @Gingersnipz and welcome to the forum! This thread is pretty old, so you may not get replies from some of the original posters, but re-evaluating things you eat regularly is a great idea. I use a Nima Sensor to test things I'm not sure about, and recently discovered that a package of psyllium fiber powder I was using contained gluten (it did not say...

    Wow...it's definitely scary to hear that someone 28 could be hit this hard (given that I'm quite a bit older than you!). Protecting yourself is just 50% of the equation, not getting it and spreading it to others is the other 50%. I wonder how people would feel if they got it and had not symptoms, and spread it to someone older, or someone with a health...

    Please let us know how things turn out...I hope you eventually figure everything out and that he recovers quickly!

    Hi @Kathy P There is no known link between vaccinations and celiac disease, but there are links to childhood viruses and celiac disease. This category covers some possible triggers: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-origins-of-celiac-disease/ Given his age I suspect that he's had flu and other vaccines throughout his lifetime, none of which triggered...

    This is an interesting new study on the ACLAT test and weight loss that just broke...not sure what it means for celiacs in general, but it does seem to show that chronic inflammation caused by food intolerances could interfere with the body's ability to process calories: https://news.yahoo.com/cell-science-systems-reports-weight-213700426.html

    Interesting hypothesis, and it's possible, but it would be close to impossible to verify this. We now know that PPI's were way overprescribed, and now that they are OTC, overused. I think they can be dangerous and should not be OTC. They can relieve symptoms of things like CD, and apparently make CD more difficult to diagnose, yet the risks associated with...

    More information about "Pan-Seared Steak with Balsamic Sauce (Gluten-Free)"
    Celiac.com 02/24/2021 - In most of the country, it's still too cold for proper outdoor grilling, but don't let that stop you from enjoying a good steak. Here's a steak you can appreciate any time of the year. This recipe sears the steak...

    Thanks for the input, and the references. I haven't tried vitamin K specifically, but your "most of the time" experience would not work for me, as I want my bad cholesterol lower all of the time, and my good cholesterol higher all of the time, which is what's been occurring after a low dose generic Lipitor for several years now. My family history is just...

    Hydrolyzed wheat protein may also fit into this category, as the amount of gluten remaining after processing is incredibly small, likely under 20ppm, and considering the amount used in a product it further reduces the actual amount of gluten considerably. That said, these ingredients when made from wheat are still considered not gluten-free due to USA's labelling...

    Welcome to the forum @WendyParr ! Have you begun your gluten-free diet? Did you get diagnosed via a blood test and/or biopsy? This article may be helpful:

    A little older thread, but worth following up on:

    Yes, DH is the skin condition that is caused by eating gluten, in those with celiac disease/gluten sensitivity. It usually appears to be tiny clear blisters that are incredibly itchy. If you browse our DH forum you'll get a better idea, and see some images of it: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/

    Agreed, and I only go to legitimate, family owned Vietnamese places.

    I believe you are correct, and that you have many related issues. On the positive side, you should see a lot of improvement with these other issues, should you maintain a strict gluten-free diet.

    All patients in this study were diagnosed with celiac disease, but some via biopsy only, rather than both positive blood tests and biopsy. This study seems to indicate that NSAIDs and PPIs may somehow affect, or mask the antibody levels that should normally show up in the blood of those with celiac disease, but more research needs to be done to determine...

    Hi Linda, welcome to the forum. Do you have celiac disease and/or dermatitis herpetiformis? Are you on a gluten-free diet?

    Welcome to the forum Rachel! At this point it would be important for your direct family to also get tested for celiac disease, because ~44% of direct relatives also have it. Your sister for sure, but also your parents (if you have the genetic markers, they could have come from one or both of your parents). You may find out that you won't be alone on...
