  1. If Velveeta contained "traces of gluten" they would disclose it on their label, but they do not: https://www.kraftheinz-foodservice.com/product/10021000633309/VELVEETA-American-Cheese-Loaf-5-Lb-Pack-of-6?categoryid=0000070270 We double checked and they the product is gluten-free by ingredient, and there is no allergen warning for "wheat."
  2. Be sure that you've been eating gluten daily for at least 4-6 weeks before your blood tests.
  3. Good luck with everything and I hope you've found a solution! Keep in mind that most celiacs and those with gluten-sensitivity don't have obvious symptoms, and many have zero symptoms, so just eating some gluten and having no reaction won't rule them out...but I do hope that you don't have either issue!
  4. Celiac.com 11/13/2020 - Whether you're looking for gluten-free groceries, baked goods, take-out or dine-in, finding gluten-free food near you is easier than ever. Best of all, there's an app for that, literally. In fact, there are several...
  5. Celiac.com 11/12/2020 - We get more than a few questions about ketchup. Specifically, is ketchup gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease? The answer is that most all ketchup is made with tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar...
  6. If you are in the UK, they are not diagnosing celiac disease in most cases by blood tests alone, and your results are sky high. Do you have the full blood test results that you can share? This article may be helpful to you:
  7. Yes, our summary does include much of what your summary says... 😄
  8. Hi Vonnie, Mental issues including behavior issues caused by celiac disease is quite common, and here are some articles on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/schizophrenia-mental-problems-and-celiac-disease/
  9. Although bad breath is not listed in the most common symptoms of celiac disease, many people have reported this here as one of their symptoms. Here is a search of our site for "bad breath": https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="bad breath"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and
  10. Did you get any blood tests done? Normally you would have a blood screening before doing the endoscopy. If so, please share the results. If not, you should ask your doctor to do this before you go gluten-free.
  11. I would follow your doctor's advice and repeat the blood test after 6 weeks of eating gluten. If the results are positive I would consider myself, at the very least, gluten sensitive, and go on a gluten-free diet. Due to your unusual circumstances your doctor may ask you to do another biopsy if you have positive blood tests. It's your call whether you would...
  12. For a gluten challenge I believe they recommend at least 6 weeks of eating ~1 slice worth of wheat bread a day before the blood tests. Certainly doing this would be a good idea if you would not otherwise be able to maintain a gluten-free diet for life, or if you had any doubts about whether or not you should be gluten-free.
  13. They should be taking at least 4 specimens when doing a biopsy: So the scenarios you've presented are indeed possible.
  14. Celiac.com 11/11/2020 - Most ketchups are made with naturally gluten-free ingredients. However, many brands do not label their ketchup as gluten-free. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands...
  15. Oh, and here are some articles on the MTHFR mutation and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=MTHFR&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and
  16. In case anyone is interested, here are the summaries we've done on the connection between celiac disease and liver issues: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/liver-disease-and-celiac-disease/
  17. There was a really good knockoff that I used to sell when I owned The Gluten-Free Mall called Josef's Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, but they are no longer available. https://www.amazon.com/Josefs-Gluten-Chocolate-Sandwich-Cookies/dp/B001B485RO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
  18. I can't tell from your post if your diarrhea issues have gone away. If not, be sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free, and that you don't have additional food intolerance issues (some could be temporary), like cow's milk, other grains, soy, etc. The average time to healing is about 2 years, but this depends a lot on how badly your gut damage was, and...
  19. I believe that this is not correct. All protocols I have seen indicate that you MUST be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy for celiac disease is done. This could explain why your results were negative. Many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity do have additional food intolerance issues, some of which may be temporary...
  20. All seltzer should be gluten-free, and I doubt any would bother labelling it GF.
  21. Welcome to the forum! To me it seems like, at the very least, you have gluten sensitivity, even if it might be technically classified as "non-celiac gluten sensitivity." Your blood test results and genetic test support this, and may even support you having celiac disease, although that's not been confirmed yet with a biopsy. You have classic celiac disease...
