Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food
Scott Adams replied to kate g's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not... -
I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free? Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months...

Confused with test results
Scott Adams replied to Captain173's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal... -
The product is Certified Gluten-Free, but that does not mean they would be immune to any possible manufacturing issues: https://feel-good-foods.com/product/chicken-soup-dumplings/ As @trents mentioned, some people have issues with xanthan gum, even though it is gluten-free:

I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...

If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures t...

That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in ...

It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent...

Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
