    There are no known issues with the covid-19 vaccine in those with celiac disease, so definitely get vaccinated. It's great to hear that you are recovering, and keep in mind that eating out is a common source of contamination (I take GliadinX AN-PEP enzymes before eating out--they are a sponsor of this site), and there are many details you should learn...

    If you are looking for super healthy whole grain bread this company makes some excellent choices: https://www.grindstonebakery.com

    I would agree with their findings that you most likely have celiac disease. If you have a hard time believing it you might request a biopsy, but two positive results, even if they are just above the cut off markers, are still positive. Normal people don't react this way to gluten and have these antibody levels.

    Not eating enough gluten before a test would not cause false-positive results, it might cause false-negative results, as you need to be eating gluten for the damage to occur. If you are not eating gluten the damage begins to heal. If the doctor did not inform you properly of how the biopsy needs to be done, and this is very basic information, then in my opinion...

    Yes, according to the Mayo Clinic you need to be eating ~1 slice of wheat bread daily for at least 2 weeks before a biopsy, otherwise you could get false-negative results. Gut times vary greatly from person to person, but the average time is two years, and this depends greatly on how badly your gut was damaged. Being 100% gluten-free is the key for...

    Welcome to the forum! The short answer is YES! All, or nearly all, of your symptoms could be due to untreated celiac disease: Since you've already gone gluten-free, unfortunately, you won't be able to get tested for celiac disease to verify that you have it, as you need to be eating gluten daily in the weeks leading up to any tests for it. If...

    Welcome to the forum! If possible, could you get your blood test results and share them, along with the cut off makers for a positive for celiac disease, as the tests can vary depending on the lab. With more info we can be more helpful. In Europe (ok, you're no longer in Europe 😉) the protocol in many cases where tests fall 10x the cut off level fo...

    Because they are still discovering small nuances in genetic markers for celiac disease, this is possible, but very unlikely. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, however, can't be ruled out, as we still don't have a good scientific understanding of this, nor how genetic makeup may influence it.

    Celiac.com 04/01/2021 - These days, probiotic foods are big business. Well, sauerkraut is one of the original probiotic foods, and it remains one of the best. Now, you may be familiar with sauerkraut as a side or topping for hot dogs...

    There is some research that has shown that anti-gliadin antibodies may first appear in the gut, before they show up in blood. You can read more about Dr. Fine's approach here:

    I just want to point out that the ingredients you mentioned, if made in the USA, would be gluten-free, including maltitol, which is made from corn. I am not sure how maltitol could test positive for gluten, and I would not call any of these ingredients "sneaky," as they are gluten-free. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltitol

    It sounds like a mild allergic reaction, I'm not sure what else it could be...so soon after the shot it probably could not be anything related to the autoimmune reaction from the vaccine, which normally would take a day or so to begin.
  14. Scott Adams
    Just so you know, in Europe they are diagnosing celiac disease without a biopsy when celiac blood antibody levels are 10x the normal range, and that is happening more in the USA as well. Your doctor may want to do a follow up biopsy, but to me having 3 very high readings should be enough to diagnose you. The final test would be to see whether a gluten-free...

    This is an older article, but still relevant. Hopefully they did other tests but please let us know:

    You can read more about endoscopy results here, but there is a possibility that they took samples in the wrong areas, or didn't take enough samples: Many people get positive blood test results, which means they are having an autoimmune reaction, or are sensitive to gluten, but have a negative biopsy. It's always a good idea to do the blood test, and...

    Dr. Fine has written a couple of article for us: https://www.celiac.com/profile/81334-kenneth-fine-md/ and I am friends with him of Facebook. His lab is still open, and he is pursuing his love of music and, at least before the pandemic, was touring the USA with his band as a country western singer & song writer. He still manages his lab.

    3 weeks of eating a slice of wheat bread each day should be enough for a biopsy, however I don't agree that you should not get a blood test. In fact, the blood test should always be done before a biopsy, and you need to eat gluten daily for at least 6-8 weeks before a blood test.

    Regarding #1, do you have a link to any studies showing this is a danger? #2 - Seems like a slippery slope to me, the ingredients say canola oil, not rapeseed oil. #3 - and? #4 - I don't buy this at all...got some scientific publications to back this up? #5 - True, but nearly all gluten-free bread products contain some form of gum like xanthan gum...

    Welcome to the forum! We do have an event calendar here, so please feel free to enter this event: https://www.celiac.com/calendar/ Now that you've discovered you have celiac disease and have, I assume, treated it, perhaps it will revive your pro-cycling career? There seems to be no reason why not, for example tennis stars like Djokovic have...

    Ok, just curious, because most of the people I've known to get vaccinated, who tend to be in the higher risk groups due to age, diabetes, etc., seem to have a profound sense of relief once they get theirs.

    Celiac.com 03/31/2021 - Even with a clear declaration by the FDA that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we still get a lot of questions about alcohol, and cocktails. Specifically, which brands of alcohol and what type of cocktails...

    You might look into magnesium citrate, but it can cause a laxative effect and takes a while to get used to. Look into Citrical also, as it contains other minerals that celiacs are deficient in. It also contains Vitamin D, and you need to be careful not to take too much D.
