    Hi @Kathy P There is no known link between vaccinations and celiac disease, but there are links to childhood viruses and celiac disease. This category covers some possible triggers: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-origins-of-celiac-disease/ Given his age I suspect that he's had flu and other vaccines throughout his lifetime, none of which triggered...

    This is an interesting new study on the ACLAT test and weight loss that just broke...not sure what it means for celiacs in general, but it does seem to show that chronic inflammation caused by food intolerances could interfere with the body's ability to process calories: https://news.yahoo.com/cell-science-systems-reports-weight-213700426.html

    Interesting hypothesis, and it's possible, but it would be close to impossible to verify this. We now know that PPI's were way overprescribed, and now that they are OTC, overused. I think they can be dangerous and should not be OTC. They can relieve symptoms of things like CD, and apparently make CD more difficult to diagnose, yet the risks associated with...

    More information about "Pan-Seared Steak with Balsamic Sauce (Gluten-Free)"
    Celiac.com 02/24/2021 - In most of the country, it's still too cold for proper outdoor grilling, but don't let that stop you from enjoying a good steak. Here's a steak you can appreciate any time of the year. This recipe sears the steak...

    Thanks for the input, and the references. I haven't tried vitamin K specifically, but your "most of the time" experience would not work for me, as I want my bad cholesterol lower all of the time, and my good cholesterol higher all of the time, which is what's been occurring after a low dose generic Lipitor for several years now. My family history is just...

    Hydrolyzed wheat protein may also fit into this category, as the amount of gluten remaining after processing is incredibly small, likely under 20ppm, and considering the amount used in a product it further reduces the actual amount of gluten considerably. That said, these ingredients when made from wheat are still considered not gluten-free due to USA's labelling...

    Welcome to the forum @WendyParr ! Have you begun your gluten-free diet? Did you get diagnosed via a blood test and/or biopsy? This article may be helpful:

    Let us know how things turn out, and good luck!

    A little older thread, but worth following up on:

    Yes, DH is the skin condition that is caused by eating gluten, in those with celiac disease/gluten sensitivity. It usually appears to be tiny clear blisters that are incredibly itchy. If you browse our DH forum you'll get a better idea, and see some images of it: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/

    More information about "No Higher Risk of Severe Covid-19, Hospitalization, or Death in Celiac Disease Patients"
    Celiac.com 02/23/2021 - People with celiac disease face a higher risk for developing pneumococcal pneumonia, and certain types of viral infections. Because of this, many people with celiac disease have wondered if they may have a higher...

    Agreed, and I only go to legitimate, family owned Vietnamese places.

    I believe you are correct, and that you have many related issues. On the positive side, you should see a lot of improvement with these other issues, should you maintain a strict gluten-free diet.

    All patients in this study were diagnosed with celiac disease, but some via biopsy only, rather than both positive blood tests and biopsy. This study seems to indicate that NSAIDs and PPIs may somehow affect, or mask the antibody levels that should normally show up in the blood of those with celiac disease, but more research needs to be done to determine...

    Hi Linda, welcome to the forum. Do you have celiac disease and/or dermatitis herpetiformis? Are you on a gluten-free diet?
  18. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum Rachel! At this point it would be important for your direct family to also get tested for celiac disease, because ~44% of direct relatives also have it. Your sister for sure, but also your parents (if you have the genetic markers, they could have come from one or both of your parents). You may find out that you won't be alone on...

    Yes, if you were gluten-free for a time before they drew the blood for your test it could create a false negative. This test also won't rule out non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~12% of people have, so if you have symptoms that prompted you to get tested, you may still want to try a gluten-free diet to see if it helps.

    I deleted the scope images, but nothing identifies you on the blood results, which we discuss here. Is it ok to leave that image up?

    More information about "A New Skin Patch Could Eventually Diagnose Numerous Ailments Including Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity"
    Celiac.com 02/22/2021 - The skin has long been thought to be the body's largest organ. Recently, however, researchers discovered that the largest organ might actually be the interstitium, which lies just beneath the skin's outermost layers...

    Yes, I agree with @RMJ, on this, of course there is no evidence of celiac disease now that you've been gluten-free for so long. The disease never goes away, but all symptoms and the ability to test for it do go away if you are on a gluten-free diet for a long time. Currently you can't be screened for celiac disease unless you go on a gluten challenge for...

    Over 20% of the population have the genetic markers for celiac disease, but only ~1% get it (~12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity). Also, not all labs will test for all known genetic markers, and new ones have been found in the last few years. It's possible that you will spend the money and still be exactly where you are at now. The best hope is that they...
