  1. I think it can vary greatly from person to person, and in your case it seems that the villi damage has healed, or was never bad enough for you to get serious malabsorption issues, which is a good thing!
  2. This thread has been closed. I will share a final update on this: "Anaphylaxis Cases After COVID Vaccine Rising But Still Rare: CDC" https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/943673
  3. Celiac.com 01/07/2021 - One question we get a lot is about gluten-free alcohol. Specifically, which brands of Irish cream are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Irish cream is basically sugar, cream and whiskey...
  4. Yes, but if you had “very high” TTG and IGA, it can’t be ignored, and usually means celiac disease, or at the very least gluten sensitivity. Either of these conditions require a gluten-free diet.
  5. Well, if you did a biopsy on a gluten-free diet it won't tell you anything about you possibly having celiac disease. You need at least 6 weeks for blood tests. Here is some info on a gluten-free challenge:
  6. After being gluten-free for years, some people get more sensitive to tiny amount of contamination, and some people less. It seems to vary greatly from individual to individual. This article might help: I hope you recover quickly! Happy New Year!
  7. Some celiacs can't tolerate corn, and it is considered a separate intolerance. You might want to look into food sensitivity testing, which Alcat (one of our site sponsors), does. Some celiacs, like myself, have temporary intolerances to foods, which go away after 1-2 years on a gluten-free diet. I could not tolerate corn for about two years after going...
  8. In the USA saying that something is made with no gluten ingredients isn't the same as putting "gluten-free" on a label, which has a specific meaning of under 20 ppm detectable gluten, and, except for distilled alcohol, the product can't use wheat, rye or barley as ingredients. This probably varies in different countries.
  9. I don't think that, if you have celiac disease, being gluten-free for only a couple of months is enough time to reverse your symptoms. When you say "like today zero gluten," I get the impression that you may not be strict enough with your diet. If you have celiac disease you need to be 100% gluten-free. Could you still be getting gluten in your diet? These...
  10. The problem with trying to figure this out is that many celiacs have little or no symptoms at all, while others have extreme symptoms. I used to have severe symptoms before I went gluten-free, but if I get accidental gluten now my symptoms are not too bad. You really can't go by a gut test here. I used to have serious sinus issues for my entire life before...
  11. Celiac.com 01/06/2021 - One question we get often is about celiac disease and sports drinks, especially Gatorade. Specifically, is Gatorade gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? First, it's important to distinguish...
  12. I'll admit that I'm truly amazed at all of the negative comments about Daiya, which have been ongoing on this forum for years now. If I were a principal in that company I'd definitely consider reformulating. They have a plant-based approach to their foods, and making cheese this way can't be easy: https://daiyafoods.com/who-we-are/
  13. You can read all about it here, but I think the go to today would be porcelain: https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-fillings#1
  14. Yes, it looks like Schar has a puff pastry dough: https://www.schaer.com/en-us/products/puffpastrydough
  15. It can take some people up to 1-2 years to recover, and depends a lot on the amount of intestinal damage you have at the time of your diagnosis.
  16. Most celiacs should probably be on a high quality B complex, as well as supplement vitamin D. Many need to take magnesium citrate and zinc as well.
  17. Here is the category where Celiac.com's articles on celiac disease and diabetes reside...some may be helpful: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/
  18. 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...
  19. @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...
  20. @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...
  21. 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...
  22. 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.
