  1. I forgot to mention that last week we did a summary of older (2018) research which shows that cow's milk protein can also cause elevated Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) in some people, so it makes me wonder if cow's milk can also cause flattened villi, and if this is a separate condition from celiac disease:
  2. The test I just took and am awaiting the result for is the ALCAT test (note that they have been a sponsor of this site in the past, but currently are not, and the only compensation for the article I am doing for them is a free test, which will be disclosed in the article): https://cellsciencesystems.com/patients/alcat-test/ PS - They do have a lab...
  3. Celiac.com 02/19/2021 - If you're looking for a super simple, super satisfying dinner, then this roasted ham and potatoes is the way to go. Serve it for an easy, hearty dinner, or top it with your favorite eggs and Hollandaise, and lay...
  4. You may be in the category of having an intolerance to oat protein (avenin), around 10% of celiacs have this issue. If so, this would mean that you have to eliminate oats as well.
  5. In some countries in Europe I seriously doubt that Velveeta could even legally be called "cheese." 😉 Certainly there are likely many healthier alternatives out there, like real cheeses, which your granddaughter can have, although many likely won't be certified gluten-free (since nearly all cheeses are naturally gluten-free, most producers won't bother go...
  6. If your rash is dermatitis herpetiformis, then 6 weeks could be very difficult--and really it may be longer because your doctor may want to do a biopsy confirmation, and they usually want you to continue eating it until that is finished. Let us know how it goes, and good luck!
  7. I've had neuropathy issues to some degree for almost 25 years, even though I've been taking supplements that are supposed to help with it. It wasn't until I started taking benfotiamine (a type of B1 that absorbs better), and magnesium citrate during the past year that I've finally stated seeing improvement with it.
  8. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease, which it sounds like you were, then you are in the very early stages of recovery. The good news is that you should continue to feel better and better for months to come, as your gut heals and you absorb nutrients better.
  9. Just like there are 8 top allergens, there are likely at least 8 foods responsible for the vast majority of food intolerance issues, and the two groups seem to overlap quite a bit. It's a bit of speculation on my part, but due to my own experience I believe that in many cases of food intolerance and/or celiac disease eating foods which you may be allergic...
  10. Yes, it has been documented that the Hepatitis B vaccine is less effective in celiacs:
  11. From your post it looks like he has celiac disease, and I assume that he's been on a gluten-free diet. It might make sense to re-check his diet to make sure he's staying gluten-free and not getting any cross contamination, for example if you eat outside your home. Teenagers are also known to be more likely to cheat on their diets due to peer pressure issues...
  12. Celiac.com 02/18/2021 - There has been some evidence to support the idea that patients with anti-GAD ataxia and no gluten sensitivity may benefit form immunosuppressive drugs. A team of researchers recently set out to report the clinical...
  13. To me it sounds like you are experiencing a normal reaction to the vaccine--your immune system has been activated, which it should be, and is now developing antibodies against covid. Severe reactions typically occur during the first 30 minutes to 4 hours, although there are probably examples where some people had severe reactions later. A sore arm and chills...
  14. A couple of years ago we did an article summarizing a study on this which found no connection:
  15. Welcome to the forum! If you were to tell them about your diagnosis it would likely disqualify you. I am pretty sure that the reason they are asking this question is to rule out anyone with genetically higher risk of autoimmune and other diseases. 😞 PS - This is a very interesting question, and I'm not sure it's been asked here before.
  16. I just had an ALCAT test done and will be doing an article about this. I have not yet received my results. I will be asking questions to the company owner about their gluten sensitivity testing, as well as their other tests.
  17. Like most things this good, it's probably best to have them only once in a while for a special treat. It's nice to have the option again!
  18. We have added their "CYA" warning to this article, but did mention that they do not claim that their bars are gluten-free, and are gluten-free by ingredient.
  19. Welcome to the forum. For a gluten challenge the normal amount and time for a blood test would be at least 6 weeks and one slice of wheat bread per day, and for a biopsy it's 2 weeks at one slice per day: If you were to get a positive blood test your doctor may want to confirm it with a biopsy, and it's my understanding that there could be a long wait...
  20. This site shows that it doesn't contain any gluten ingredients: https://www.rxlist.com/np-thyroid-drug.htm
  21. I think it would be a good idea to get a paper copy of your test results, and share them if you can. Sometimes "negative" isn't so negative, if you know what I mean. People with celiac disease are around 1% of the population, but those with gluten sensitivity are around ~10%, and there currently no test available for non-celiac gluten sensitivity (but some...
  22. 02/17/2021 - Celiac disease rates in the US have increased in past decades, along with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs), aspirin (ASA) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)...
  23. Understood, and if the doctor wants an endoscopy to confirm CD then he should be eating gluten daily, not once or twice a week. I guess my perspective on this is all or nothing--if you want to confirm this then do the gluten challenge properly--if you are too concerned about your son's current health and slow growth, then you may need to forgo an official...
