  1. Celiac.com 01/21/2021 - We get a lot of questions about Red Bull. Specifically, is Red Bull energy drink gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? As with most sports and energy drinks, Red Bull does not contain gluten ingredients...
  2. There is at least one newer study not on this list...but here are some studies on GliadinX: Extra-Intestinal Manifestation of Celiac Disease in Children. Nutrients 2018, 10(6), 755; doi:10.3390/nu10060755 Efficient degradation of gluten by a prolyl endoprotease in a gastrointestinal model Enzymatic gluten detoxification: the proof...
  3. It is a single case study, but I thought it was interesting. https://pn.bmj.com/content/20/2/144.full
  4. Sorry not to answer your specific questions, but I do want to try to help. Of course, going gluten-free is crucial, which it sounds like you already know. Hopefully you understand the details of a 100% gluten-free diet. I was wondering if your doctor did a blood test for vitamin & mineral levels, to see where you stand now, and whether you...
  5. The new protocol is that if someone scores 10x the celiac disease level, then they can be diagnosed with the blood test alone, however, not all doctors are following this. I would just make sure that she's not cheating on her diet, as that can happen with teenagers. My daughter is a perfect example of this!
  6. By the way, this is a new and very interesting article on this topic: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joim.13120
  7. Celiac.com 01/20/2021 - We get a lot of questions about sports drinks, especially about whether sports drinks are gluten-free, and if so, which ones. Most sports hydration drinks are made with water, sugar, salts and flavorings, along...
  8. You may want to turn him on to GliadinX. It isn't designed for his situation, but it is better than nothing at all, and could possibly be very helpful.
  9. I've not seen specific studies on this, however, there have been many stories posted by celiacs on this forum who ended up in the emergency room and were dehydrated and were low on electrolytes. My brother had this happen a few times. I would venture to say that it probably has a lot to do with how much villi damage you have, and the location of that...
  10. We've done some articles on celiacs and covid-19: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=covid-19&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_in=titles and @trents is correct about there not being any documented extra risks for celiacs. There are, however, possibly more risks for celiacs who get covid-19, so getting vaccinated...
  11. It looks amazing. I'm in Santa Rosa, CA and we don't, as far as I know, have a dedicated gluten-free restaurant here.
  12. I do think now would be good timing for anyone who ever dreamed of opening a café or restaurant. Many restaurants have gone under due to the pandemic, and this creates opportunity for those interested to get great deals on leases, and buying existing businesses that might be for sale or have gone out of business. With the vaccine rollout and pent up demand ...
  13. I agree that cross-contamination, bad or no gluten-free training of restaurant staff, as well as mistakes like the one you mentioned, are common in restaurants, even ones that have a gluten-free menu (which can give most celiacs a false sense of security). A couple of years ago I started taking GliadinX (full disclosure they are a site sponsor of ours...
  14. We've done many articles on this, but the issue is that the research is relatively new, and ongoing. It will take years to get a standardized test to diagnose it, but they already have some good test candidates: More articles on this topic are at: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=non-celiac gluten sensitivity&type=cms_records2...
  15. If possible can you get hold of the the original blood test results and share them?
  16. I would request that your doctor provide you with the results, as they do have them.
  17. We have something in the USA called "liability," which is a huge motivation for large companies with deep pockets to get claims like this right. I trust that they are actually gluten-free.
  18. Ok, so if @trents can convince his uncle to go gluten-free, he should make it to 130!!
  19. But this is because Canada changed their laws to protect their oat industry, not because Cheerios contain more than 20ppm of gluten. Soon after Cheerios put "gluten-free" on their boxes, Canada changed their laws and lowered the level of gluten allowed, but ONLY in products made with oats. All other non-oat products still only had to be below 20ppm. They...
  20. Celiac.com 01/19/2021 - Typically, when people with celiac disease eat gluten, they experience gastrointestinal discomfort, or even symptoms like a skin rash, anemia, and headaches. In some extreme cases, though, the side effects could...
  21. Very interesting indeed. Maybe there is a step by step process that we need to diagram out on how to heal the gut and recover? I am envisioning an article on all things linked to villi damage, and steps to take for recovery. Perhaps a similar one on blood antibodies.
  22. Over the years I've seen a concerted effort by the wheat industry to paint the gluten-free diet as less healthy than one that contains wheat, which is a fallacy. They do this by publishing "studies" they fund and the results seem to be designed to scare people back to wheat. It seems like a strange approach, but I guess they are just trying to protect their...
