    It looks like these are: https://orgain.com/collections/protein-powder/gluten-free

    To me this makes it a pretty clear cut case of gluten sensitivity, and likely celiac disease. Personally if it is this black and white for you I would not undergo the torture of a gluten challenge. The gene test could be done at any time, but would not confirm diagnosis.

    How long have you been on a gluten-free diet? It took me 1-2 years to recover from several temporary food intolerance issues. For me it was cow's milk, chicken eggs, tomatoes, corn and to a certain extent, garlic. I can now have all of these, but they did cause me serious issues for a while. Many celiacs who still have issues after going gluten-free...

    I believe they are the same size, and yes, they do taste exactly like the originals...I can't tell the difference.

    I've never heard of salt containing gluten, but Morton brand should be fine. If you are concerned about this perhaps get a rock type salt and a grinder.

    It should be safe from gluten:

    Talc is a naturally occurring mineral I believe, and is used to make talcum power.

    They would not increase any celiac antibodies unless they were contaminated with gluten, which is unlikely. The only issue with potatoes would be if you had issues with nightshades, which some people have, but this would not be related to celiac disease.

    While I don't think that you can overdose (I may be wrong here), but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I too have supplemented for years on B12, and my levels were similar to yours. I've had issues for years of having a high red blood cell count, and B12 increases production of red blood cells (among other things), so I've cut back quite...

    More information about "Red Bull and Other Top Gluten-Free Energy Drinks"
    Celiac.com 02/02/2021 - We get a lot of questions about energy drinks, like Full Throttle, Monster, Red Bull, and others. Specifically, which brands of energy drinks are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? We actually...

    Actually for a blood test you really need to eat around a slice of wheat bread a day for 12 weeks: If you are happily on a gluten-free diet, and it is relieving your symptoms, then do you really need to get an official diagnosis? The villi blunting, even after being gluten-free for so long, combined with your symptom improvement, might be enough for...

    You haven't mentioned how long you've been gluten-free. It can take months for recovery, and with DH it can take weeks for an outbreak to go away, which can be triggered by even tiny amounts of contamination.

    PS - Be sure to check out this thread:

    I wonder if your issue could be tied to low stomach acid, rather than high? I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but if the current approach isn't working, it's important to try others.

    Nowhere in the article does it say that raisins are high in oxalate, so I'm not sure where you get #1.

    It's great to hear that you are feeling better! I wrote an intro in that book, and yes, it's got some great info!

    I do still see the Nima Sensor being sold on Ebay and FSAStore.com, so I'm not sure if it isn't still being made.

    Yes, you would just ask for a celiac disease blood test. To me your symptoms are not likely to be caused by celiac disease, but it is a small possibility. I think a bigger possibility is that if you are taking statins for your heart condition muscle pain and weakness is a known side-effect, so be sure to discuss this with your doctor as well.

    I'll look into this, but my diagnosis isn't hemochromatosis, which was ruled out. Excess red blood cells is my issue...thank you!

    Because you've been gluten-free for two years now, and I will assume that you've been doing a very good job with your diet, probably isn't related to celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (unless you were getting regular contamination). So you've been to ear, nose & throat specialists, and they've found nothing? One concern, which they likely would...

    Celiac disease can cause a large variety of symptoms that can be side-effects of the reduced ability of your intestines to absorb essential vitamins and minerals from your foods. Muscle cramps and pain including Charlie horses in your legs and other areas can be symptoms. Do you have celiac disease, or have you ever been tested for it? It might be with...

    Sweet potatoes, although they are a very healthy complex carbohydrate, also contain a lot of fiber, which can cause gas/bloating in some people.

    Hello @Etoasty, welcome to the forum! Of course it is possible that a batch of their beans was cross contaminated, but so far I've not seen anything at all that would verify this. I monitor product recalls and post them whenever there is a recall.

    If you are outside the USA, for example in Europe, some "gluten-free" breads are made using a very low gluten wheat starch (under 20ppm). You may want to see if this is the case, and if so, change that.
