    Although the standard spiel from medical doctors would be to recommend getting a formal diagnosis, having DH I can fully understand why you might not want to go that route, due to the fact that DH symptoms can be unbearable for most. In the end it is really your call on whether or not you need a formal diagnosis to stay gluten-free.

    In the USA natural flavoring is considered gluten-free, and it would need to include wheat on the label if it contained wheat:

    DH looks like tiny clear blisters that are super itchy, and usually surrounded by redness. If you can't get to a doctor and get a celiac disease blood panel, another option is ordering an online test kit, but keep in mind that to be tested for celiac disease you must continue eating gluten daily until your tests are finished.

    I had severe seasonal pollen allergies until I was diagnosed when I was around 27. I used to have to take both food and pollen allergy shots. My nose was more or less permanently clogged during much on my youth, but I didn't have obvious symptoms from the food allergies, beyond the constant nasal drainage issues. My allergist told me back then, long before...

    Peripheral neuropathy is a fairly common side effect in those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and when this is the case it's called "gluten ataxia" or "gluten neuropathy." It probably would make sense for you to get a celiac disease blood screening before going gluten-free (you can't be tested for it after going gluten-free). The good news...

    I'm having issues with my 15 year old daughter who is sneaking gluten with her friends once in a while. For her it's mostly about peer pressure and wanting to fit in when certain things are served at a friend's house, or after a soccer practice or game. We've talked about it extensively, yet it continues. I've gotten her to take with her and use GliadinX...

    It is a stereotype that cannabis is favored by "low income earners," and for decades people at all economic levels have used it widely, including but not limited to doctors, lawyers, judges, etc. Elon Musk comes to mind, but he's not the only high level CEO or high level corporate person to use it regularly. I think it's important to git rid of such stereotypes...

    WebMD makes it clear that there is scientific evidence that reishi mushrooms can be effective for many things: "There is some scientific evidence of its effectiveness, including lab research and some small human studies," and "Medicinal mushrooms have been approved adjuncts to standard cancer treatments in Japan and China for more than 30 years and have an...

    I agree that there might be better bar choices out there, however, the original poster was asking whether or not Atkins bars are gluten-free, which tells me that they want those bars. They are gluten-free and safe for celiacs.
  18. Scott Adams
    I agree, if you are going to get tested for celiac disease it is best to do it right via your doctor and if they recommend it, a GI.

    Your doctor is using old knowledge here...most celiacs are not underweight, and a significant number are overweight, but the real issue is the damage being done, and how severe your symptoms are. Yours sound severe, so why would your doctor subject you to what amounts to torture for 3 months just to get a piece of paper saying you've got it? Of course with...

    Just to clarify, if something in the USA is labelled "gluten-free," as the Atkins bars are labelled, it does not mean that they contain 10-19 ppm, as they may have zero detectable gluten. It is true that gluten-free certification organizations have even higher standards, but it is a total fallacy to assume that something which is labelled gluten-free automatically...

    Can you tell us if you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, or are you self diagnosed and gluten sensitive? Are you on a gluten-free diet? Here are some topics in our forum that might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=yeast infections&quick=1&type=forums_topic

    3 months wait is unacceptable. I would personally not wait that long and continue to eat gluten, because it will cause your body much damage if you have celiac disease.

    Given that the gluten-free diet is perfectly safe, provided you're getting enough fiber an nutrition, it's your call if you need to go through the gluten challenge and be formally diagnosed. Here are some questions to ask yourself: How important is it to you to have a piece of paper from your doctor telling you that you have this? Would having...

    Why do you say that the author wasn't diagnosed with celiac disease? The author does say that they found out that they had celiac disease, then went gluten-free, and the diet didn't make her fully recover. Or that the "mushrooms can also cause harm." They have been used commonly in Asia for centuries, and can be purchased on Amazon or in multiple stores...

    I would not second guess your doctor as you have two strong positive tests that are very specific to celiac disease. I will assume that they have recommended that you go on a 100% gluten-free diet. This article may be helpful:
