    It looks like it is naturally gluten-free by ingredient, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.blackbeardeli.com/product/Liverwurst-Braunschweiger-Natural-Casing "PORK LIVERS, PORK, BACON (CURED WITH WATER, SALT, SUGAR, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ERYTHORBATE, SODIUM NITRITE, SPICE EXTRACTS), BEEF, SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF NONFAT DRY MILK...

    I will have to assume that you have a good handle on your gluten-free diet, and didn't eat out or eat things that could have been contaminated. Obviously contamination is my first thought, but if you're sure that your diet has been clean then it could just be a bug of some sort, including something from the cucumber.

    We have also published many articles on this topic here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/depression-and-celiac-disease/

    In general it's better to get tested before going gluten-free, however, if you find relief on a gluten-free diet and are not one to need a formal piece of paper to keep you on a the diet for life, then a formal diagnosis may not be necessary. There are disadvantages to a diagnosis, for example higher life insurance and possibly health insurance premiums,...

    Nothing in our article is incorrect. The link you posted does not say the guidelines are temporary, and they have not posted any end date to the current changes. They are the current guidelines for diagnosing celiac disease in the UK--which doesn't include biopsy for the vast majority of celiacs. If the guidelines change we will post an article about such...

    There is no indication that this move is temporary, and I seriously doubt that it is. This move will save money, still provide celiac disease diagnoses that are 95% accurate. Europeans switched to this model, even before covid, for diagnosing children and adolescents: Studies have already been published that show that low biopsy rates drive our current...

    In medical terminology "suggestive of Celiac" means probably celiac disease. Can you share your blood test results? This would give us far more information to try to help you.

    If you are in England they have stopped doing biopsies to diagnose celiac disease except in certain cases where the blood tests are not definitive: Be sure to talk to your doctor soon about your blood test results, and whether or not you need a biopsy, or need to go gluten-free.

    We’ve published multiple studies on why biopsies need only be the exception and not the rule when diagnosing celiac disease, and blood testing will become the new gold standard, not biopsy. In Europe they are already switching to no-biopsy diagnoses in children and adolescents, and this change was pre-covid: There is no indication that the UK will e...

    So keep in mind that if your doctor wants to do any follow up tests you would need to continue eating gluten until they are finished. You mentioned that you are now gluten-free, so you may wish to talk to your doctor before taking that step. Your symptoms do sound consistent with celiac disease, especial given your positive blood tests, but could also...

    A biopsy would still be needed for 5% of people per the article, and the standard tTG test is 95% accurate in diagnosing celiac disease--thus 95% of people can avoid biopsy. That is a great thing! Who wants to undergo a risky procedure that could give them an infection or subject them to a risk from the anesthesia?

    Natural Flavoring is gluten-free, but can contain MSG:

    Many people with celiac disease don't have symptoms, yet if they keep eating gluten have the same risks as those who do have symptoms, so be sure not to let this guide your decisions regarding your test results. You should keep eating gluten and get the biopsy that your doctor recommended. If you do have celiac disease you should go gluten-free after all...

    Very interesting info @Posterboy. Perhaps the there are other prescription drugs that can trigger GI issues, especially in those with autoimmune diseases.

    If any of your first degree relatives have celiac disease, you might want to look at this Mayo Clinic study where "The team screened 360 out of a total of 477 first-degree relatives, finding a total of 160 first-degree relatives who were diagnosed with celiac disease, 62% of whom were female. All diagnosed first-degree relatives had positive anti-TTG titers...

    Sure, but you're still excluding her family history that she already mentioned. Of course she should discuss this with her doctor, including her family history, and the fact that she's now developed symptoms.

    More information about "Is it Common for People with Celiac Disease to Have a Rash?"
    Celiac.com 10/06/2020 - One question we get often is about celiac disease and rashes. Specifically, is it common for people with celiac disease to have a rash? Skin rash alone is not a specific symptom of celiac disease. However...

    Some doctors would diagnose you with celiac disease based on these results alone, as biopsy confirmation seems to be falling out of favor, especially for children. In the UK, for example, they would diagnose you based on your current results, which are 95% accurate: Keep eating gluten and discuss whether or not you need a biopsy, but given your family...

    More information about "Early High Dose Gluten Introduction Can Help Prevent Celiac Disease"

    On the contrary, many celiacs spend decades feeling unhealthy even though they are on 100% gluten-free diets, and many are even on grain-free and other very restrictive diets. Some feel like they are going crazy and cannot even venture outside or do any travel without bringing their own food. This "alarming" headline is for those celiacs who are not recovering...
