    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:

    Let us know how things turn out, and good luck!

    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/

    Celiac.com 02/23/2021 - People with celiac disease face a higher risk for developing pneumococcal pneumonia, and certain types of viral infections. Because of this, many people with celiac disease have wondered if they may have a higher...

    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...

    Yes, if you were gluten-free for a time before they drew the blood for your test it could create a false negative. This test also won't rule out non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~12% of people have, so if you have symptoms that prompted you to get tested, you may still want to try a gluten-free diet to see if it helps.

    I deleted the scope images, but nothing identifies you on the blood results, which we discuss here. Is it ok to leave that image up?

    Celiac.com 02/22/2021 - The skin has long been thought to be the body's largest organ. Recently, however, researchers discovered that the largest organ might actually be the interstitium, which lies just beneath the skin's outermost layers...

    Yes, I agree with @RMJ, on this, of course there is no evidence of celiac disease now that you've been gluten-free for so long. The disease never goes away, but all symptoms and the ability to test for it do go away if you are on a gluten-free diet for a long time. Currently you can't be screened for celiac disease unless you go on a gluten challenge for...

    Over 20% of the population have the genetic markers for celiac disease, but only ~1% get it (~12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity). Also, not all labs will test for all known genetic markers, and new ones have been found in the last few years. It's possible that you will spend the money and still be exactly where you are at now. The best hope is that they...

    Hello @Jilly2310 and welcome to the forum. How long have you been gluten, corn and oats free? If your doctors think you’re nuts, it's time to change doctors.
  21. Scott Adams
    This is the first I've heard of them, and they seem to be both gluten and allergen free, which is rare in the nutritional shake category. If you end up trying them please let us know how they are. It looks like there are a lot of reviews on them, so perhaps you can read some, especially the bad ones, and decide if you want to try them?
  22. Scott Adams
    @MADMOM, 5 weeks is too short a time for all of your symptoms to go away. The average time for full recover is 2 years, so be patient, and vigilant on your gluten-free diet.

    I'm in the group of naturally high cholesterol (stays close of 300) that I tried for years to treat naturally, but in the end couldn't. I'm on a low dose statin that seems to work very well for me, and I've not noticed any negative side effects from it. I've got heart disease on both sides of my family, and my father passed away of a heart attack at 48, so...

    Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear that you got glutened. Your story sounds a lot like issues many people with celiac disease face regularly--I too like to eat out sometimes, and usually pick restaurants that have gluten-free menu options, but like you, I've also had issues. For the past couple of years I've been using the GliadinX supplement...

    I hope that you're not having an allergic reaction as well. Some of the symptoms you describe, especially the watery eyes and facial swelling, sound more like an allergy. It is, of course, possible you have both a wheat allergy and intolerance to gluten. Be extra careful if you experience swollen lips, itchy throat, swelling in your throat, etc., and you...
