    Here is the category where Celiac.com's articles on celiac disease and diabetes reside...some may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

    Actually Gluten Free Watchdog has made no serious claims about General Mills cereals for years now, and they have failed to publish their data, which they said they would do. Instead it is behind a paid fire wall. I've heard nothing from them for years on this topic. Why can't they test 100 boxes and find 2-3 that contain gluten? Where are the lawsuits from...

    @Bunnehlvr Welcome to the forum! I would not worry about what others think about your dietary choices. At this time in your life finding good health is the most important thing of all. Your story definitely sounds like, at the very least, you have gluten sensitivity, and more likely celiac disease and/or dermatitis herpetiforms (the skin manifestation...

    @bethwhite06 Welcome to the forum! I would not freak out and wait for the results. If you do have celiac disease it's much, much better that you know than to not know. Most people with celiac disease don't have obvious symptoms, but their health risks are the same whether they have symptoms or not. They may also want to do a blood test to confirm...

    More information about "Newly Diagnosed Celiacs Need More Information About Managing a Gluten-Free Diet"
    Celiac.com 01/05/2021 - The only current medical treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet. Still, researchers don't know much about how people with celiac disease experience and manage a gluten-free diet, especially upon diagnosis...

    Did you have have to ask your doctor to test you for each of these individually, or did they run a general test for you? I am just curious, as I've not had any of these checked except ferritin.

    Elevated antibodies and negative biopsy to me would mean you're definitely gluten sensitive, as the antibody tests are very specific to your body's autoimmune reactions that are trigged gliadin consumption. You are in the grey area where doctors can't say "celiac disease," but they also cannot say that you are not gluten sensitive. Some doctors in these instances...

    Thank you for the clarification, and we've covered some of the research on corn, but feel free to post any research links on corn protein. Here is a summary we did way back in 2005, and if you look at the addition at the bottom the corn used in the study tested at 82ppm, and was contaminated with wheat gluten: We're aware that some celiacs have additional...

    In the hopes of cheering you up (but not making you get sick!), there are options at Taco Bell that don't contain any gluten ingredients, however, cross-contamination could be an issue. If you absolutely had to go there, I'd recommend taking a few GliadinX capsules beforehand. If you think you can't afford them, see the bottom of this page where you can get...

    If you make these claims you need to back them up with support, sorry but simply calling me ignorant doesn't cut it. I know for a fact that people with high blood pressure (like me) can take either vaccine when it becomes available. You made this claim, you need to provide the evidence to back it up.
  12. Scott Adams
    Regarding #1, this statement is not correct. People with allergies are allowed to take the vaccine. They currently recommend that if you have a history of allergies to vaccines that you take it at your doctor's office, or at a hospital setting where you can get anaphylaxis support if needed, and wait there for up to an hour afterwards. I've seen no rules...

    More information about "Atopic Dermatitis More Common in Adults with Multiple Autoimmune Diseases"
    Celiac.com 01/04/2021 - Researchers have long known that the common chronic skin disorder atopic dermatitis is associated with other atopic conditions. A growing body of evidence supports a connection with non-atopic conditions, including...

    The good news is that IF your neuropathy issues are gluten-related, then your symptoms should slowly go away if your diet is 100% gluten-free. Taking B vitamin supplements, including B12 can help, and you may want to include zinc and magnesium citrate as well. Here are some article on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related...

    Sure, you got all this great info about this future author who hasn't published their book yet from "a researcher at John Hopkins University," but could not remember the author's name, but you do know that they deleted their articles to make "corrections," and you even have the new link to their re-published article? Ok... So you haven't mentioned what...

    Of course any ingredient or food could be contaminated with gluten. This list assumes that each ingredient on it is pure.

    And how many have died from either of these covid vaccines...zero? How many now have taken it...millions? No deaths have been reported. Quit fear mongering @marc9803 . You still haven't mentioned ANYTHING here about the number of deaths worldwide so far from covid-19, the number of deaths that will occur without anyone getting a vaccine for covid-19, or the...

    Good luck, let us know how things turn out!

    It would be worth sending an email, or calling your doctor to see if you can get the results sooner, especially if you are suffering on a gluten-free diet. It sounds like all your celiac screening is now completed (I assume you had a blood test before your biopsy), and if so, you should be able to go gluten-free, but I'd let you doctor know beforehand.
  22. Scott Adams
    It is interesting for sure, and some past summaries we've done have shown that zinc deficiency is even more common than anemia: "67% of celiac patients showed zinc deficiency, 46% showed decreased iron storage, and 32% had anaemia."
  23. Scott Adams
    The important thing for you to know is that you should not go gluten-free at this point until you have the recommended biopsy. You need to keep eating gluten until all testing is finished. More and more doctors are diagnosing celiac disease by only using blood test results, although your results may not allow this, but you may want to discuss this with your...
  24. Scott Adams
    The number I used, 20, was pulled out of thin air, but the idea is that @Sotorp will have a lower reading than if they were eating gluten daily until the testing was concluded. If the cut off for celiac disease was 10 on a test and they score 7, but were gluten-free for a time before the test, what exactly will that tell you? Many doctors would tell them...

    This article nicely covers where things are with vaccine reactions, and concludes: “In general, the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the rare risks, experts say.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/here-are-the-cdc-guidelines-for-allergic-reactions-to-covid-19-vaccines Millions have now been vaccinated, including my mother, and we are sim...
