Are Mission Corn Tortilla Chips Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Celiac.com 05/05/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We've written a lot about gluten-free snacks, including a great handy list of Best Gluten-Free and Gluten-Safe... -
Endoscopy! I corrected my last post.

There is a home test you can order for under $100, but you need to be eating gluten on a daily basis for ~12 weeks before blood tests can be done: https://www.imaware.health It’s definitely time for a new doctor no matter what happens, as yours clearly doesn’t have your best interest—your health—in mind!

All over body swelling
Scott Adams replied to SophieB333's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think the fact that you could not eat gluten daily for a few weeks in order to get tested pretty much sums it up--you probably are gluten sensitive and no matter what the test results would indicate, you should go gluten-free. -
A single positive blood test should be enough for you to consider going gluten-free, even if the biopsy results are inconclusive. You could ask some questions around this idea.

A colonoscopy is different than an endoscopy, however, I think from the patient's standpoint some of what's in this article will be helpful:

Wondering. Could I be celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Killygirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Others on our forum have reported oral lichen as an issue, and here you can find those posts: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=lichen&quick=1 -
Be sure to also look into a low FODMAP diet, as fructose can trigger symptoms in those who are sensitive: As for the red wine, my guess would be that the more dry the wine is, the better it would be if your issues are related to certain types of sugars.

It is certainly possible that this product is made on shared lines, and your batch could have had issues, so it would be a good idea to call them. Above all, you shouldn't eat the rest of them, and should contact the company. I have a Nima Sensor which, if this happened to me, I would use to run a test for gluten. I only use my sensor to test things that...

Hormones and Celiac + Covid 19?
Scott Adams replied to temp72836's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I forgot to ask, have you consulted with your doctor about your sleep issues? Sleep apnea, which I have and it isn't due to weight, my mother also has it, is easily treatable, and may solve your sleep issues. The devices now are light years ahead of ones around even 5 years ago, as are the masks. Be sure to talk to your doctor about this. -
Gluten challenge
Scott Adams replied to Marie-Christine's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some experts, like the University of Chicago Celiac Center say 12 weeks, so it's not an easy thing: Also, you should know that it's possible that you don't have celiac disease, but could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which is a condition that around ten times more people have than celiac disease, but unfortunately they haven't yet developed a... -
If you don't start noticing significant improvement on a gluten-free diet after a few more months, perhaps look at this article:

Yes, it might make sense for you to also ask to have the DPG and possibly other tests done as well. -
Is JUST Egg Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
We'll summarize this into an article, thanks for sharing it, and the current article you're commenting on still stands as correct--transglutaminase itself would be gluten-free, and may be somehow implicated in triggering celiac disease, presumably if someone with the genetic propensity is undiagnosed and consuming gluten/gliadin, although tons more research... -

Is JUST Egg Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
The study on this which we summarized indicated that Transglutaminase, when consumed with gluten (gliadin), could be a factor in triggering celiac disease. It is, by itself, gluten-free, and I've seen no research that it could be harmful to those who already have celiac disease, and are gluten-free. -
Wondering. Could I be celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Killygirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Understood, but I was just wondering, were they 4? or 3? This could be an indication of gluten sensitivity, as normal people's ttg levels would not be elevated at all. Personally I don't think there is much difference between someone who might have a 4.9 negative result, and a 5.0 positive one. I've not really seen much literature about who decides what the... -
It sounds like you have a great doctor, and thank you for the link...we'll try to summarize this research in an article. It makes me wonder which came first, in my case I suspect it was gluten sensitivity that led to chronic issues with allergies, and finally full blown celiac disease after I got very ill from possible food poisoning or a virus. I wonder...
