  1. According to their web site it does not contain any gluten, so it is naturally gluten-free, but does not have "gluten-free" on the label: https://www.tazo.com/us/en/products/bottled/tazo-organic-awake.html
  2. Celiac.com 11/27/2020 - Summer has given away, and autumn is definitely beckoning with its crisp air and shortening days. Celebrate the transition with this simple, yet tasty salad that offers the best of summer and fall in one nutritious...
  3. Be careful...some of the Japanese curries use curry cubes that contain wheat. I've seen this personally when looking at them in Asian supermarkets.
  4. I hope everyone is having a happy gluten and covid-free Thanksgiving!
  5. Celiac.com 11/26/2020 - For all that recent research has told us about celiac disease, we still don't know whether changes in the intestinal microbiota of children with celiac disease contribute to the disease, or if they are a result...
  6. The Moscow Mule is popular in the USA: https://moscowmule.com
  7. Be sure to continue eating gluten daily until all tests are completed. I would request the blood test before the biopsy, as they are more accurate for diagnosis.
  8. This article covers the history of celiac disease, and 1950 would likely have been too early for most doctors to figure it out (actually even today many doctors can't figure it out!):
  9. You can't go wrong with a good old-fashioned Margarita!
  10. Have you had a blood screening for celiac disease yet? This would be the normal first step, before an endoscopy. If so, please share your results, if not, you may want to ask your doctor why this hasn't been done yet. Certainly diarrhea is a symptom, as well as well headaches and seizures...here are articles on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease...
  11. Celiac.com 11/25/2020 - Ginger beer is basically ginger ale that is fermented into an alcoholic beverage. True ginger beers are made with sugar, ginger and water, and nothing else! Most top brands of ginger beer are made the old fashioned...
  12. When you say you got the genetic tests, did you also get a celiac disease blood panel that shows different antibody results? If so, please share that info with us, as this is normally how celiac disease is diagnosed, and a referral for a biopsy is made. Issues with teeth enamel is a symptom of celiac disease, but your case sounds extreme. You should...
  13. Yes, continue to eat gluten until the testing is finished...normally a slice of wheat bread a day is the amount recommended.
  14. Celiac.com 11/24/2020 - We get more than a few questions about beer. One question we see a lot is about ginger beer. Specifically, is ginger beer gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease? Ginger beer is a popular cocktail...
  15. Certainly celiac disease can cause severe canker sores: as well as many other issues involving nutrient deficiencies, like beriberi among others. Just knowing that she may have had genetic markers for celiac disease isn't enough information, because more than 20% of people have the genetic markers, yet don't ever develop celiac disease. More...
  16. I would communicate your gluten-free diet needs with everyone involved with your food. So the person who brings you food--ask them if your meal is gluten-free. If they don't know assume that it isn't and insist that they find out.
  17. It sounds like your doctor has already made the formal diagnosis based on your blood test results, iron deficiency, etc., so perhaps the results won't be a big factor for your doctor either way. Three days off gluten likely isn't enough time to heal if you do have gut damage. Let us know how it turns out!
  18. Just so you know there are some forum members who are heavily against proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) because they lower your stomach acid, which can cause other GI issues. If you have GERD it makes sense for your doctor to prescribe this, but it is possible that there are side effects, so be sure to look into that as well.
  19. I too had some severe episodes which landed me in the emergency room at least twice. I also thought I was having a heart attack. For me it just took time, and a couple of years on the gluten-free diet. Since you are 4 years into the diet you probably should not be having such symptoms. You may need to look at other possible issues like food intolerance...
  20. Celiac.com 11/23/2020 - Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic, researchers and laypeople have been wondering if people with certain health conditions, such as...
