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

  2. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary.

  6. The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options.
  7. You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.
  8. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
  9. I think this varies a lot from person to person, especially if you eat out at restaurants regularly. What is your level, and how long have you been gluten-free?

  11. I just searched Google for "gluten free seafood options in Ohio near springdale" and got this as the highest rating--they have a gluten-free menu: https://pappadeaux.com/
  12. May Flower International Inc of Maspeth, NY, is recalling its 8.82-ounce/250g packages of “Beijing Soybean Paste” food treats because they may contain undeclared wheat.

  15. I think both systems have merits and faults, but in my opinion no citizen of any country should be denied health care, and it should be a basic human right, no matter your income.

  18. This is a very difficult question to answer. The process for FDA approval could take 5-10 years or even longer. It could also fail during clinical trials, or lose funding (average cost years ago to get through clinical trials and FDA approval was $40 million!).
  19. Celiac.com 04/16/2025 - For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, enjoying Italian cuisine can often feel like a challenge due to the prevalence of wheat-based pasta and other gluten-containing ingredients. However, gluten-free...
  20. It’s frustrating how little awareness there is around celiac complications, even among doctors. Your discovery about histamine intolerance makes so much sense. It’s interesting how interconnected these reactions can be (heart arrhythmias from food? No one warns you about that). It’s great that antihistamines helped, and the ranitidine connection is a ...
  21. I think it couldn't hurt for you to be sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free with zero cross-contamination for a couple of months to see if that helps. If you're eating out you're likely getting some level of gluten in your diet. It's hard, but at least this would help you determine if gluten is the culprit.

  25. You should avoid eating there if you don't trust the gluten-free claim that Taco Bell makes for their items on their website. Yes, there can be hidden gluten in some ingredients, but that does not mean that the company did not do their homework before making their gluten-free claim.
