    This is a complicated question, and there is no easy answer. This article illustrates this: I am in the process of getting an extensive ALCAT food sensitivity test, I received the results, and will be writing a detailed article on my own experience of eliminating foods that I react to, and rotating other foods. Are you eating oats? About 10% of...

    Thanks for sharing this, it's important for everyone to get vaccinated. The known risks of getting Covid-19 are great, the known risks of having issues from either vaccine are extremely small.

    The main thing here is at least you have confirmation, and can begin working towards a full recovery by staying gluten-free. Hopefully your doctor also learned something.

    I agree with @trents that your tests are firmly positive, so much so that even if your biopsy were negative I don't really see how your doctor could tell you, with a straight face, to keep eating gluten. If your biopsy were somehow negative or inconclusive, my guess would be that your doctor would still ask you to go gluten-free to see if it relieved your...

    Hi Sophie, Just so you know, you don't need positive markers on all of the genetic tests to have an increased risk for celiac disease. Some markers will increase your risk more, and not having some will decrease your risk a bit more, but having any of these markers really means that you could get full blown celiac disease at some point in your life. ...

    To me both tests look positive, unless I am missing something here, and given the fact that you were 100% gluten-free for at least a week leading up to the test, they likely would have been even higher had you continued eating gluten. I welcome @trents and @GFinDC to weigh in on your results. Neurological symptoms are common in celiac disease, and here...

    I've not had my levels checked yet for B1, so unfortunately I don't know. My assumption is that in my case, this fat soluble version of B1 is being absorbed better, and it, along with magnesium citrate, seem to be helping with this issue. On a side note, my doctor has only checked me twice for vitamin levels, and only when I asked. My doctor is aware of my...

    Welcome to the forum! The test results you shared are genetic test results, and for those tests it doesn't matter whether or not you are eating any gluten when you take them--your genes don't vary. In your case it looks like you do have some genetic markers that make getting celiac disease a possibility, but this alone does not mean that you have celiac...

    More information about "Can Red Potato Pulp Improve Gluten-free Bread Nutrition and Quality?"
    Celiac.com 02/25/2021 - Numerous starch-based gluten-free breads are made with corn, potato starch and hydrocolloids, all of which are low in nutrients and devoid of health promoting compounds. These types of bread have some advantages...

    Hello @Gingersnipz and welcome to the forum! This thread is pretty old, so you may not get replies from some of the original posters, but re-evaluating things you eat regularly is a great idea. I use a Nima Sensor to test things I'm not sure about, and recently discovered that a package of psyllium fiber powder I was using contained gluten (it did not say...

    Wow...it's definitely scary to hear that someone 28 could be hit this hard (given that I'm quite a bit older than you!). Protecting yourself is just 50% of the equation, not getting it and spreading it to others is the other 50%. I wonder how people would feel if they got it and had not symptoms, and spread it to someone older, or someone with a health...

    Please let us know how things turn out...I hope you eventually figure everything out and that he recovers quickly!

    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: /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 celiac disease...

    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:
