    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.

    welcome to the forum! You did not mention whether or not you have celiac disease. If so it is possible that it could affect certain things in a blood test, but this would not be typical. Certainly having elevated white and red blood cells would not be indicative of celiac disease by itself, but I could not tell by your post why you suspect celiac disease...

    The blood tests do look negative, but that would not necessarily rule out non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, and since you have said that she has a horrible reaction each time she eats gluten, that would be my suspicion. I would try a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if those symptoms go away, and if so it’s likely that she has non-celiac gluten sensitivity. ...

    if you do have non-celiac gluten sensitivity then a gluten-free diet should actually improve your symptoms, and make a lot of things better even with breast-feeding. The key would be to replace the calories with healthy ones and make sure you are supplementing so that you don’t have vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and you probably might want to consult w...

    I think it's always recommended to replace damaged pans that are coated with teflon as they pose other health risks as well.

    Is there a scale associated with any of these? What level is positive for each of them?
  14. Scott Adams
    Feel free to share her blood test results here with the cut off levels for positive. I've found that sometimes "negative" isn't so negative. My daughter, for example, had TTG levels that were 1-2 points below the positive marker, and her doctor told her "good news, you don't have to stop eating gluten," which she did, but kept having various symptoms. She...

    This category has our articles on gluten ataxia, and in some with gluten sensitivity eating gluten can manifest as a nerve/brain disease. The good news is that if this is happening to you it can be reversed with a gluten-free diet: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac...

    What kind of doctor do you have, and why did they recommend cutting out all grains? The grains you mentioned are gluten-free, so should be safe for your gluten-free diet. I realize that there is a grain-free diet movement, however, I believe that you should only exclude things from your diet that are actually causing you things like a negative autoimmune...

    MSG has been used as a seasoning in China for centuries, and is not considered "toxic" by anyone, other than those who might be sensitive to it.

    For magnesium, fish oil, flax seed oil, and a good B complex I use the Nature Made brand available at Costco. They are all gluten-free. I also use Citrical Maximum Plus, which includes vitamin d, calcium and some other things, which is also available at Costco.

    PS - Ask your doctor what the rate of false positive results is for the DPG IgG test. They are making this claim...time to back it up.
  20. Scott Adams
    Your doctor is correct when they say the DPG IgG test isn't as sensitive as TTG tests, and the table in this publication shows that in a systematic review in children it is 80.1 to 98.6 sensitive, and is 86.0 to 96.9 specific. It also shows a mixed study under "other" were it was shown to be 95% sensitive and 99% specific. Also: "In this review, sensitivity...

    The Nima device isn't prone to "false positives" as you claim, but can detect gluten below 20ppm. It will not give a positive result if there is no gluten in a sample, which would be a false positive result. More about this is here:

    I just posted this in another topic, but will repeat it here: Ask your doctor these questions: 1) Do you know that non-celiac gluten sensitivity is, and can you test my daughter for it? 2) Given the positive DGP test how can you exclude celiac disease, as this test is considered to be VERY SPECIFIC for it? 3) My understanding is that...

    This would have to be your call. The current trend if your blood test results are 10x normal is to diagnose without a biopsy. To me it sounds like you have your answer, and a formal diagnosis could make both life and health insurance more expensive, and harder to get, depending on which country you live in. Also, since ~12% of people are gluten sensitive...
