  1. I am not 100% sure how up to date this site's list is, but if you look here: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/newlist.htm Xarelto is listed as "manufacturer doesn’t knowingly add gluten however since they don’t do any final testing they won’t guarantee it to be GF but it is very unlikely that it is contaminated with gluten".
  2. I've heard that they can be tough to get rid of, but what does this have to do with celiac disease? This is a celiac disease based forum.
  3. Consuming too much sugar, like there is in Coke of other sodas, can lead to SIBO (small bowel bacterial overgrowth) as well as a host of other health issues like diabetes and obesity. That said, most are gluten-free and won’t trigger celiac disease.
  4. Peripheral nephropathy is a symptom of untreated celiac disease, as is high fecal fat content, and both can be caused by other things. It would be worth getting a blood test, and in or to do this you need to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed. There are also home test kits now available if you can't get this through your doctor presently...
  5. Hello @Cindy1955, for sponsorship info please see: https://www.celiac.com/ads/ You can personal message me directly with any questions.
  6. If the celiac blood panel was negative then you likely don't have celiac disease. It is possible you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but this condition generally shows elevated antibodies in testing. Certainly trying a gluten-free diet won't hurt you, just make sure you are getting proper nutrients and fiber. It might be worth a try for a few weeks...
  7. If you use the standard ingredients it does appear to be gluten-free, although each ingredient may not list "gluten-free" on its label: Pear Brandy Rose's lime juice ice cubes (or ice) Sprite (soda)
  8. Celiac.com 07/15/2020 - Celiac disease is on the rise globally. To understand the reasons for the rapid growth in celiac disease, it is important to understand how the immunoreactive triggers in gluten-containing cereals interact with...
  9. Celiac.com 07/14/2020 - Nutrient deficiencies are common in people with celiac disease, and closely tied to many of its physical expressions. Even though these deficiencies are potentially important, researchers don't really have much...
  10. It was totally irresponsible of your doctor not to share your positive celiac disease tests with you last year, and certainly this is even more concerning because you're now pregnant, and having celiac disease and continuing to eat gluten could lead to nutrient deficiencies, something that is critical during pregnancy. Here are some articles we've done on...
  11. You can certainly have an allergy to watermelons, however they are gluten-free of course, and are considered low acid: https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/health/sc-health-0316-high-acid-food-20120613-story.html
  12. Ideally you would not use it that long because you would have been on a gluten-free diet to treat your DH, which is the most effective treatment. If you still need to use dapsone then I suspect your diet might not be 100% gluten-free.
  13. Definitely not ok, and this should really be a forum thread, instead of a personal blog post. Consider starting a thread on this topic here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/
  14. Celiac.com 07/13/2020 - Celiac disease is a systemic disease that damages the small intestine and which, left untreated, can lead to numerous related health problems. The only treatment for celiac disease remains a gluten-free diet. Celiac...
  15. Over 20% of the population has the genetic markers for celiac disease, yet only ~1% will get it. Environmental triggers like certain viruses have been shown to be a "trigger" of the disease in some people. This article explores the role of vitamin D in the trigger of celiac disease in those who are genetically susceptible.
  16. They are different things, but before general celiac awareness many people just said I have a "wheat allergy" when going to restaurants because it was a lot easier than trying to give a lecture to a waiter about celiac disease. For better or worse, this approach sometimes worked better, especially back in the 90's, because then the waiter took it far more...
  17. I can't speak for to the gluten-free status of this product, but can say that it likely contains all sorts of ingredients to create the "perfect" taste they are looking for. It might be best to go old school and get a bottle of Smirnoff Vodka (made from corn), and mix your own version of this type of drink. All you'd need is seltzer water and whatever...
  18. A hernia would not likely be related to celiac disease. I've not seen any studies on a correlation between the two. It is possible that people with hernias may end up getting screened for celiac disease more than those without, however I think it's a separate, unrelated issue.
  19. There isn’t a cure for aids, but there is a treatment drug therapy for it. Researchers are working on treatments for all autoimmune diseases.
  20. Celiac.com 07/11/2020 - It's summer and that means grilling and barbecue. No summer cookout is complete without a tasty, delicious Cole slaw. This Carolina version uses apple cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, sweet onion and bell pepper to...
