  1. Science evolves and this is a pretty solid study that does indicated that the better approach might be earlier introduction to gluten. It will be interesting to see if future research backs this up.
  2. Can you tell me what lab you used for your fecal anti tissue Transglutaminase? Normally it would be a blood test. What did the lab who took your tests say? The typical next step after a positive tTg test would be to get referred to a gastroenterologist for an endoscope, but I'm not sure if that can happen with the fecal test.
  3. Celiac.com 11/02/2020 - Many people with celiac disease experience persistent symptoms despite adhering to the gluten-free diet. Different studies have assessed the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment for celiac disease. A...
  4. Wow, I did not realize this. I was in communication with her for years, and never understood why her home test kits didn't explode in popularity. Just found this: Open Original Shared Link
  5. To me, a non-doctor lay expert, it looks like you've got celiac disease. Thyroid issues are quite common in celiacs, and iron deficiency anemia is very common. The blood tests and biopsy seem to support this.
  6. No need to delete it...it could be helpful to someone at some point.
  7. It seems unlikely that it would have any gluten in it. Is there any possibility she could be sensitive to dairy, or one of the other ingredients in it?
  8. Celiac.com 10/30/2020 - We get more than a few questions about McDonald's, and one question we get a lot is about salads. That is, are McDonald's salads gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Lettuce and vegetables are...

  10. It looks like the product is naturally gluten-free, but does not say "gluten-free" on the label.
  11. I had similar symptoms before I was diagnosed, and if gluten is causing your symptoms it can take up to 2 years to heal. Since you can't get tested, and have already gone gluten-free, I would give the diet more time, and also consider temporarily eliminating other common foods that can cause issues like cow's milk, corn, soy, eggs, etc. for a while, then...
  12. While you may have a yeast issue, I've not seen any scientific info that indicates that "its chemical structure is nearly identical to gluten," and don't believe this is true.
  13. The toaster will be the biggest issue as far as cleaning goes, but the rest should be fine with a good hand washing follow up by putting everything in the dishwasher. I would try not to take it too personally, as some people just may never get it. My wife and I have close friends and we visit with them often at both my house and theirs, but while her...
  14. Celiac.com 10/28/2020 - Eating that Thanksgiving turkey and taking probiotics may promote gut healing and improve gluten-free diet response in people with celiac disease. A research team at Canada's McMaster University has found that...
  15. It might be a good idea to find and take a general gluten-free vitamin/mineral supplement. Most celiacs do have various deficiencies until their gut heals, and some even need to take supplements for longer.
  16. Are you currently taking any vitamin & mineral supplements? A recent study has linked this with anemia:
  17. Celiac.com 10/27/2020 - We get a lot of questions about candy and chocolate, and one of the most common questions we get this time of year is: What Halloween candy is gluten-free? The good news is that there are hundreds of gluten...
  18. Celiac.com 10/26/2020 - The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has announced a new policy that permits any distilled spirits made from gluten-containing grains to be labeled as "gluten-free." The move follows a ruling...
