  1. This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades. In the United States, all food manufacturers, including any that ship foods for sale in the USA, are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, which mandates clear...
  2. Celiac.com 05/02/2025 - For those who experience unpleasant reactions after consuming gluten, understanding whether they have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is crucial for managing their health. Although both conditions...
  3. Celiac.com 05/01/2025 - Polenta, a humble yet hearty dish, traces its origins to Northern Italy, where peasants once relied on stone-ground cornmeal as a staple food. Before corn arrived from the Americas, polenta was made from spelt or...
  4. Scientific Response to Dr. Osborne’s Claims on Rice and Corn "Gluten" Dr. Peter Osborne, a doctor of chiropractic (DC) and clinical nutritionist (DACBN), has argued that prolamins in rice (oryzenin) and corn (zein)—often called "gluten-like" proteins—may trigger immune reactions in celiac disease, despite not containing the same toxic sequences as wh...
  5. It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional con...

  7. Celiac.com 04/30/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. While the primary treatment is a strict gluten-free diet, many patients—even those without severe digestive s...
  8. If the manufacturer says it contains gluten, then I would definitely go with that over the government website.
  9. People say lots of things, but the site above is a government website and should have the correct ingredients (perhaps ask the pharmacist where they got their info?).
  10. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
  11. Celiac.com 04/29/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, fast food can feel like a minefield. Cross-contamination, hidden gluten, and ever-changing menus make dining out risky. But some major chains now offer safer...
  12. Thank you for sharing your husband’s remarkable journey—it’s truly inspiring to hear how a holistic, root-cause approach has made such a profound difference in his health. It’s fascinating how his cardiologist connected dietary inflammation, gut health, and even historical factors like abdominal radiation to his A-fib, leading to a tailored plan that finally...
  13. Celiac.com 04/28/2025 - For people with celiac disease, the only current treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet—which can be expensive, restrictive, and difficult to maintain. But what if there was another way to manage the c...
  14. Celiac.com 04/26/2025 - Stuffed bell peppers are a timeless dish that has graced dinner tables for generations. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, this recipe has evolved over time to incorporate regional flavors...
  15. This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially p...
  16. I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist m...

  19. Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with ...
  20. Good on you--it looks like you followed the recommendation in the article: "Communicate Clearly: Inform your barista about your gluten-free needs and ask about preparation methods."
  21. Welcome to the gluten-free journey! It’s great that you’re exploring ferments like kefir—they can be a wonderful support for gut health, especially when navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity. Kefir is rich in probiotics, and many people find it soothing during gut healing. It’s great that you’re already thinking about making sauerkraut and kimchi too—those...

  23. It sounds like you’ve noticed a clear connection between gluten exposure and your Afib episodes, which is really important insight.
