    More information about "No Biopsy Needed to Accurately Diagnose Celiac Disease in Nearly All Adults"
    Celiac.com 12/14/2020 - The science behind celiac disease diagnosis has been moving rapidly away from biopsy. First, biopsy screening was eliminated for celiac diagnosis in most children. Then, the European Society for the Study of Paediatric...

    FYI, I just saw this press release: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kiaro-offers-exclusive-vegan-cbd-140000611.html

    If you haven't already done so, it's time to keep a detailed food diary, as you may have additional intolerance. Stop eating oats if you do eat them, and consider eliminating soy, eggs, dairy, and nightshades, etc., or at least rotate them--stop for a few weeks, then add them back and record what happens.

    Technically speaking if you are diagnosed with DH you need to be gluten-free, so further testing may not be necessary. If you don't believe the diagnosis is a correct one, you may want to ask for more tests. I would recommend blood tests, but you had them and they were negative. If you were eating gluten daily for at least six weeks leading up to that test...

    At the very least you would want a place that has a gluten-free menu, and then be able to talk with the wait staff and manager when you order. At least one of our moderators always recommends going to higher end restaurants, as they tend to take the time to listen to your special needs when you order. One of the sponsors of this site is GliadinX, which makes...

    If you do I would go with certified gluten-free flours if possible. My main point is that consuming processed foods, especially milled flours, may increase the risk of getting small amounts of cross contamination. Since you started having symptoms again after going gluten-free, I just wanted to point out that shifting your diet to whole foods and cutting...

    Sweet potatoes are a better option, as they are a complex carbohydrate and have lots of nutrition and fiber. One of the longest living populations on earth are on the island of Okinawa in Japan. They actually outlive those in the rest of Japan, who also have long live spans, but after comparing the diets of the regular Japanese vs. Okinawans they found that...

    Patients with celiac disease who ingest any wheat products develop abnormalities in the lining of the small intestine, particularly the upper part (jejunum). The latest protocol I've seen calls for at least 4 samples to be taken.

    Yes, I think you are right, the more processed foods you eat, which include lots of milled alternative flours that could get cross-contaminated, the higher your risk. The same with eating out...even at restaurants that have GF menus you're still likely to get some contamination, especially if you do it regularly.

    Wow @RMJ, a PhD in pharmacology! You've probably mentioned it before, and I seem aloof, but bravo, and why did I not know (or remember) this?

    They don’t put gluten in vaccines.
  12. Scott Adams
    Yes, for sure. By the time my family and I have access I would guess that 100M people would have already been given it. I'm ready to go back to normal, and travel, eat out, etc.

    I may not be the most qualified person to answer, but we had a site sponsor a while back called Epilynx, and we did a ton of product reviews which you can see in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-food-reviews/ They make a line of GF cosmetics, lotions, serums, makeup, etc.

    If you don't need an official diagnosis you could simply go gluten-free, if you are sure this is the cause. This isn't recommended by doctors because they may want to do follow up tests later, although none of my doctors have EVER asked me to do any, and I've had to ask about it. I don't want to steer you away from an official diagnosis, or your doctor...

    Oh well, at least you're hopefully now on the mend! Best to know and deal with it. After a while the diet will be second nature, and you will be happy to have your health.

    Hi @Sharron robinson, welcome to the forum! Have you tried some of the things mentioned in this thread? You probably know this already, but maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet is crucial. As a last resort there is Dapsone, which works, but can have some negative side-effects.
  18. Scott Adams
    Yes, it may also make sense to check your liver enzymes, as well as thyroid function, as celiac disease can cause issues with both.

    Yes, liver issues are fairly common, and if related, can go away on a gluten-free diet. Here are the articles we have on the topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/liver-disease-and-celiac-disease/

    At this point it would be a good idea to request a check of your blood vitamin/mineral levels, especially: "Specifically, for vitamin A, 7.5% of patients showed deficient levels, for vitamin B6 14.5%, folic acid 20%, and vitamin B12 19%. Likewise, 67% of celiac patients showed zinc deficiency, 46% showed decreased iron storage, and 32% had anaemia."

    The average time for full recovery from celiac disease is two years. It's great that your antibodies are going down, and if your diet is 100% gluten-free, in theory they should get close to zero.
