    Many doctors are now diagnosing celiac disease based on blood tests alone, especially if your results are 10x the celiac level range. If you can find the celiac disease cut off level for your ttg test and share it, it would be more helpful. For example, if it were 20, then you'd be 10x the celiac level.

    Welcome to the forum! Just so you know, the average time for celiacs to heal on a gluten-free diet is around two years. Given that it's only been a couple of weeks, it will likely take quite a bit more time for you to recover. Some obvious things to watch that could also cause the stomach issues would be too much fiber, or even not enough fiber...

    Have you tried more whole foods like eggs, potatoes, vegetables, cheeses, meats, etc.? Some of those weight gain shakes have tons of ingredients. Above all, be sure his diet is gluten-free, and you may need to see if he has additional intolerance issues, but you haven't mentioned other symptoms besides low weight.

    More information about "Kahlúa and Other Top Gluten-Free Coffee Liqueurs"
    Celiac.com 01/22/2021 - We get a lot of questions about alcohol, and one we've seen a lot is about coffee liqueurs, like Kahlúa. We actually did an article specifically on Kahlúa, but those answers apply equally well to any of these b...

    I drink coffee daily and have never had an issue. There is nothing in coffee that people with celiac disease need to avoid, this is a myth.

    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...

    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.

    It is a single case study, but I thought it was interesting. https://pn.bmj.com/content/20/2/144.full

    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...

    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!

    By the way, this is a new and very interesting article on this topic: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joim.13120

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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 ...

    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...

    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...

    If possible can you get hold of the the original blood test results and share them?
  24. Scott Adams
    I would request that your doctor provide you with the results, as they do have them.

    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.
