    Our salads come with croutons, can't you just pull them off? (a clue you're in the wrong restaurant!)

    I agree with @trents that if you were gluten-free, or mostly gluten-free, for the months leading up to the blood test you cannot trust the results. Since you did seem to get some relief when you cut out gluten, and seem to also have linked large doses of gluten to periods where you have these "crashes," to me it sounds like you need to pursue the gluten...

    In my opinion the only way to blame this on celiac disease would be if it were untreated--in other words he may be cheating on his diet, or (and I don't know this and am just speculating here), maybe his parents are not properly administering/controlling his gluten-free diet. As a grandparent I do think it would be fair for you to ask his parents whether...

    It is possible the blood test was wrong, depending on what blood test they ran. If you could get the results and share them here it would be helpful. It's possible that your results were not zero, but perhaps a bit under the celiac disease "cut off" level, which can be misleading. Also, if you had an endoscope with "Sprue in my small bowel," it means...

    Is it possible she’s getting cross-contamination, which usually happens if you eat out, or that she could been cheating on her diet?

    11) No gluten, I would kill myself! (yes, I’ve heard this one several times)

    10) Celiac disease sounds psychosomatic to me, the gluten-free diet could be just a placebo effect. (a lawyer I worked for said this to me shortly after my diagnosis.)

    To continue your list: 8. ) Really, ___________ has gluten in it?! (add any obvious item here, a cake, pizza, crackers, bread, rolls, etc.) 9) Can’t you eat just a little bit, it’s really good? (add in any obvious gluten item). PS - This thread might be article worthy!

    We have a friend who has known me know for at least 15 years, and I've been gluten-free through the entire time. We've been over to their home over 100 times, and they have been over to ours over 100, yet, every time I eat at their home she serves things that are clearly not gluten-free, for example she'll put out wheat crackers with the cheese, and when...

    More information about "Is Trix Cereal Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 01/08/2021 - We know Trix is for kids, but is Trix cereal gluten-free for celiac kids? We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently made up a list of nearly one hundred gluten...

    Welcome to the forum, and it sounds like you are on the right path now. Your symptoms sound a lot like what I went through during my final 2-3 months before going gluten-free. This article may be helpful:

    It is well known that ~10% of celiac have an oat intolerance (avenin) in addition to their celiac disease. Not everyone with celiac disease can eat oats, and many attribute this to wheat contamination/gluten reactions, which is incorrect.
  17. Scott Adams
    I think symptoms can vary greatly per individual, and may not have a lot to do with age.
  18. Scott Adams
    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!

    More information about "Is Baileys Irish Cream Gluten-Free?"
    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...

    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.
  23. Scott Adams
    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:

    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!

    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...
