    I think if you took a good multivitamin & mineral supplement, and made sure your diet had enough fiber, you can get by with only spinach, asparagus and green beans as your vegetables. Of course, the better solution would be for you to do all you can to add more vegetables and fruit into your diet. Perhaps try some different fruits and veggies that you...

    I haven't seen any studies linking the two, however, others with this condition have discussed it in our forum, and they also have gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=costochondritis&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy

    Due to the fact that you're actively trying to get pregnant it would make sense for you to go gluten-free now, because if you do have celiac disease (one positive blood test like the one you shared is enough to make this a good possibility), it could definitely affect your pregnancy. A gluten-free diet, as long as your supplementing, getting enough fiber...

    Welcome to the forum @suila! Most of us have shared our experiences, sometimes many times, here already. Can you tell us more about your "hardest of times," and how going gluten-free helped you?

    I do find it odd that your gastroenterologist seems to already be trying to explain away what he may have seen by bringing up NSAID's. It's also bad that they didn't mention the need to be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy. In any case, let us know how that goes, but I think @trents is correct, at the very least it does sound...

    If going gluten-free has offered you such obvious and dramatic relief from your symptoms, and eating it is causing you so many serious health issues, can I ask why you feel the need to get the formal diagnosis? You may have celiac disease, as you do have the genetic DQ8 marker for it, and have symptoms that have gone away when you went gluten-free, but to...

    How much weight have you gained back since your diagnosis? I will just throw this out there, but perhaps you could go the route of an RN, or even a RN medical practitioner? It sounds like you have enough science under your belt for that, but I don't know how much more school would be involved. In any case, it sounds like moving out of your current...

    I'm not expert on this, but I believe something like a low carb, paleo diet would be needed if you are not willing to take enzymes to help you digest the sugars. So avoiding starches, especially processed ones, and sugar, and eat mostly meats, vegetables, nuts, etc. This site talks about what the levels mean in more detail: https://www.csidcares...

    I just follow the recommendations on the bottles for those that I recommended, As for the magnesium citrate, keep in mind that it could cause IBS symptoms until you get used to it. I can only take one per day with food, and it took me about a month of starting and stopping it to get used to it and eventually I had no IBS symptoms when taking it.

    Welcome to the forum @CAS7! You are correct that many commercial beers may be naturally gluten-free, as they are filtered using very fine membranes for maximum clarity and consistency, and other people have reported similar stories here. In the gluten-removed beer category, we still recommend beers like Omission, which use AN-PEP enzymes during the fermenting...

    Welcome to the forum, and I am really sorry that you are going through this with your family, and that they are not more supportive. If you've been diagnosed with celiac disease your first degree relatives have a ~44% chance of also having it, so they should also be tested, although it sounds like any of them getting tested would be unlikely. My thought here...

    One other thing, have you checked to make sure that all your skin and hair care products, cosmetics, medicines, etc., are gluten-free? It seems that people who have DH are especially sensitive, and some react to gluten on the skin. Also, many people with DH need to avoid iodine as it can also trigger flare ups. It's in sea food, salt that is fortified...

    I'm not sure why anyone would need alkaline water, and one brand of it has been associated with at least one death, and numerous cases of acute non-viral hepatitis illness: https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-acute-non-viral-hepatitis-illnesses-real-water-brand-alkaline-water-march-2021 Regular water is safe.

    It is likely distilled vinegar, and the product is listed as gluten-free on their site: https://www.goldshorseradish.com/golds-prepared-sweet-horseradish-and-beets

    I have not experienced this, but have you tried a dandruff shampoo like Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 1% Shampoo?

    If @RMJ is correct, I believe that you can simply take Lactaid enzymes to help you break down the lactose in dairy, and if that doesn't help going dairy-free would be best.
