  1. Yes on the feathers...and bones...I’ve never tried it, so can’t vouch vor it as a delicacy, Fresh duck eggs are great, and are almost always free range.
  2. Perhaps be sure your brown rice is not the culprit. Although it’s unlikely, grains can be cross contaminated in areas where they package them, during shipping from the fields, etc. If possible use a brand that says Gluten-Free on it or even better certified gluten-free.
  3. For me it took a combination of the gluten-free diet and using a traditional Chinese bamboo pillow. It turns out that most cultures did not have soft pillows, especially when you look 100 years back and earlier. For hundreds of years the Chinese have used bamboo pillows which are much harder. Here is a picture of mine. It took me about 2 to 3 months to get...
  4. I too had chicken egg intolerance for a few years before and after my diagnosis. I could tolerate duck eggs with no issues. The can be found at farmer’s markets and Asian supermarkets, but if you get them at the latter beware that the also sell them with a developed embryo inside (a delicacy in parts of Asia, they are normally marked with a red Sharpie m...
  5. It sound like you’ve eliminated processed foods and looked closely at your diet for sources of possible contamination. Have you looked at your lotions, cosmetics, conditioners, shampoos, etc. for wheat? Also, do you ever eat outside your home, especially food from restaurants?
  6. Celiac.com 01/15/2021 - Is Kahlúa gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? One question we get a lot is about gluten-free alcohol and liqueur. Specifically, is Kahlúa gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? ...
  7. On the ttIgA does it show the markers for normal, and the high mark? Each lab seems to have their own scale, so it would be helpful to have this.
  8. It's a bit depressing hearing that after 25 years of hard work on this site, that the best some doctors can do when you're diagnosed is to tell you not to eat gluten, which is exactly what they told when I got diagnosed. Back then there was basically zero information on the Internet about celiac disease. At least now there is a lot of info online, but given...
  9. Also, 48 hours on a gluten-free diet isn’t nearly long enough to eliminate symptoms caused by gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. With celiac disease full healing can take up to two years, depending on the gut damage level. I do remember raw garlic causing me issues during my healing time frame, but I could eat it after. Keep a food diary and you m...
  10. I agree, they normally do a ttg test as well, is that the only test that was done?
  11. I would only add that you should really put in more effort to make sure you’re 100% gluten-free. If gluten is your issue, then this is the only way to know for sure. It should relieve your symptoms.
  12. My symptoms included severe knots in my shoulder and neck muscles that often caused bad stiff necks, and this would sometimes cause a pinched nerve in my neck which included tingling sensations that shot from my right shoulder to the top of my head. I did get an MRI done on this, but they only found a compressed disk in my neck. After years of being gluten...
  13. Celiac.com 01/14/2021 - It's no secret that most gluten-free food sales are for snack foods. It's also no secret that most gluten-free snacks are nutritionally inferior to comparable non-gluten-free snacks. It's also true that the...
  14. This topic made me wonder how many celiacs have had their gallbladder removed only to discover that their problems were really caused by gluten and celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity? I know my mother had her gall bladder removed before her celiac diagnosis. They checked my gallbladder before I was diagnosed as well. Given your level of sensitivity...
  15. From the studies we've summarized, if your liver issue is caused by celiac disease and is due to eating gluten, then much of it could be reversible after a long-term gluten-free diet. How long have you been gluten-free? Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? I know that others on this board have corrected liver issues after being gluten-free for a time...
  16. Alcat, which is a site sponsor, has a full celiac panel that is as accurate. Click here to read more about it. There are other companies like imaware that offer the tests, but I don't know which labs they use, and don't think they offer the DPG test that Alcat does offer.
  17. It would make sense for you to get a blood screening for celiac disease, but you'd need to eat gluten daily for ~6 weeks beforehand for the test to be accurate.
  18. Celiac.com 01/13/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently created a list of nearly one hundred gluten-free breakfast cereals. We've also compiled a list of UNSAFE non-gluten-free...
  19. This is a symptom that I've not heard to be associated with celiac disease and going gluten-free. Did you see a doctor and have a monogram or other scan done to be sure the lumps are not something more serious? I would advise doing this no matter what.
