  1. 11) No gluten, I would kill myself! (yes, I’ve heard this one several times)
  2. 10) Celiac disease sounds psychosomatic to me, the gluten-free diet could be just a placebo effect. (a lawyer I worked for said this to me shortly after my diagnosis.)
  3. To continue your list: 8. ) Really, ___________ has gluten in it?! (add any obvious item here, a cake, pizza, crackers, bread, rolls, etc.) 9) Can’t you eat just a little bit, it’s really good? (add in any obvious gluten item). PS - This thread might be article worthy!
  4. We have a friend who has known me know for at least 15 years, and I've been gluten-free through the entire time. We've been over to their home over 100 times, and they have been over to ours over 100, yet, every time I eat at their home she serves things that are clearly not gluten-free, for example she'll put out wheat crackers with the cheese, and when...
  5. Welcome to the forum @Chris Mckenna!
  6. Celiac.com 01/08/2021 - We know Trix is for kids, but is Trix cereal gluten-free for celiac kids? We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently made up a list of nearly one hundred gluten...
  7. Welcome to the forum, and it sounds like you are on the right path now. Your symptoms sound a lot like what I went through during my final 2-3 months before going gluten-free. This article may be helpful:
  8. Hi Gerry, Welcome to the forum! You may find this article, even though it's a bit old, helpful in your situation:
  9. This blood screening article might also be helpful:
  10. It is well known that ~10% of celiac have an oat intolerance (avenin) in addition to their celiac disease. Not everyone with celiac disease can eat oats, and many attribute this to wheat contamination/gluten reactions, which is incorrect.
  11. I think symptoms can vary greatly per individual, and may not have a lot to do with age.
  12. I think it can vary greatly from person to person, and in your case it seems that the villi damage has healed, or was never bad enough for you to get serious malabsorption issues, which is a good thing!
  13. This thread has been closed. I will share a final update on this: "Anaphylaxis Cases After COVID Vaccine Rising But Still Rare: CDC" https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/943673
  14. Celiac.com 01/07/2021 - One question we get a lot is about gluten-free alcohol. Specifically, which brands of Irish cream are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Irish cream is basically sugar, cream and whiskey...
  15. Yes, but if you had “very high” TTG and IGA, it can’t be ignored, and usually means celiac disease, or at the very least gluten sensitivity. Either of these conditions require a gluten-free diet.
  16. Well, if you did a biopsy on a gluten-free diet it won't tell you anything about you possibly having celiac disease. You need at least 6 weeks for blood tests. Here is some info on a gluten-free challenge:
  17. After being gluten-free for years, some people get more sensitive to tiny amount of contamination, and some people less. It seems to vary greatly from individual to individual. This article might help: I hope you recover quickly! Happy New Year!
  18. Some celiacs can't tolerate corn, and it is considered a separate intolerance. You might want to look into food sensitivity testing, which Alcat (one of our site sponsors), does. Some celiacs, like myself, have temporary intolerances to foods, which go away after 1-2 years on a gluten-free diet. I could not tolerate corn for about two years after going...
  19. In the USA saying that something is made with no gluten ingredients isn't the same as putting "gluten-free" on a label, which has a specific meaning of under 20 ppm detectable gluten, and, except for distilled alcohol, the product can't use wheat, rye or barley as ingredients. This probably varies in different countries.
  20. I don't think that, if you have celiac disease, being gluten-free for only a couple of months is enough time to reverse your symptoms. When you say "like today zero gluten," I get the impression that you may not be strict enough with your diet. If you have celiac disease you need to be 100% gluten-free. Could you still be getting gluten in your diet? These...
  21. The problem with trying to figure this out is that many celiacs have little or no symptoms at all, while others have extreme symptoms. I used to have severe symptoms before I went gluten-free, but if I get accidental gluten now my symptoms are not too bad. You really can't go by a gut test here. I used to have serious sinus issues for my entire life before...
  22. Celiac.com 01/06/2021 - One question we get often is about celiac disease and sports drinks, especially Gatorade. Specifically, is Gatorade gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? First, it's important to distinguish...
