The usual amount of time for an endoscopy would be two weeks of eating a slice of wheat bread each day, longer for blood tests:
-
If you want a definitive diagnosis you may want to postpone the endoscopy for a few weeks and keep eating gluten until it’s finished, otherwise you may not get a clear answer, although your blood tests results probably indicate gluten sensitivity at the very least, and possible celiac disease.

Is this an article or author biography, to me it seems like the latter, and doesn’t explain very much about their approach, other than this bit which I believe is misinformation: “few medical specialists are in fact aware of the actual inflammatory reactions which are caused by prolamins present even within cereals celiac patients are allowed to eat...

Unless your goal is weight loss you need to eat more according to how much you exercise.
-
Maybe, but such results might lead to a doctor telling you it’s not celiac disease “because you’re under 20,” which would be a false conclusion.

@Kate333 My vertigo symptoms included a spinning sensation, and the feeling that I was going down in an elevator when I wasn’t in an elevator, and the feeling like you get if your standing on the edge of a tall building looking down. This sometimes triggered panic attacks which made it far worse. These symptoms actually started as far back as when I...

As noted this article was originally published in 2008.

Also, I did not get a chance to read it but since it was deleted by the author I’d be very suspect of this “new” way to explain and/or cure food intolerance.
-
The link to the article no longer works and it appears that it was removed by the author, so I’m removing the link.

Technically speaking you risk false negative celiac disease results if you’ve been gluten-free in the weeks leading up to the tests. If your results are negative you could not rule out celiac disease, which, I presume, is one reason why you’re getting the tests in the first place.
-
I may have been too harsh, especially not knowing how the conversation went, but my thought here was that if you told them you’re gluten-free and doing fine, but they pushed you into a gluten challenge, that approach seems wrong to me. I would have told you that you’ve probably got gluten sensitivity and not pursued a celiac diagnosis unless that’s what ...

Are Pfizer's And Moderna's Covid Vaccine Really Safe?
Scott Adams replied to Misslee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@marc9803 your posts, unfortunately, are full of misinformation. As @RMJ has pointed out, there is no antifreeze in the covid-19 vaccine, so please stop spreading misinformation that is clearly designed to make people afraid of it. You say that "There's another group who simply said they are not stupid to take any of those first generation covid vaccines... -
Thank you for this recipe!

Actually vertigo is a symptom of celiac disease, and it is a symptom that I had before being diagnosed.
-
I do wonder if a gluten challenge for some people is worth the risks, especially in your case where it seemed that you had figured it out, and were happily gluten-free. Obviously I wasn't privy to your conversation, but asking a celiac, even a self-diagnosed one, to eat gluten for a month to prove that your self diagnosis is correct is just wrong. If...

If you have celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while, probably at least a year, possibly two, and you still have ongoing gastro issues you should definitely consult with your doctor about it. I don't know why they would not want to pursue other possible issues. Keep in mind that during your recovery time you should also pursue other...

Safe Gluten-Free Food List (Safe Ingredients)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Safe & Unsafe Foods & Ingredients
There is not gluten in any vaccines that I know of. As far as I know there would not be a reason to put gluten into any vaccine. -

Sertraline?
Scott Adams replied to upsilamba's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If it is in the pill form, it looks like it is possible that it could have wheat starch due to this ingredient "sodium starch glycolate" which can be "Starch glycolates are of rice, potato, wheat or corn origin": https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=c7ab46cd-b3a0-3f9e-97e6-e6125e1a52a2 -

Sertraline?

This site allows you to search for the prescription name and if you click on the result you can see it's ingredients. It it only lists "starch" it could contain wheat starch: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ -

If you have been getting regular gluten contamination in the foods you've been eating then you may have flattened villi and other problems associated with celiac disease, many of which are brought on by malabsorption of nutrients. It sounds like you already know this, but if you've been diagnosed with celiac disease you need to be 100% gluten-free,...
