  1. Celiac.com 12/13/2024 - The study investigates whether there is a causal relationship between autoimmune diseases and schizophrenia. Schizophrenia, a severe neuropsychiatric disorder, has been associated with immune system dysfunction...
  2. I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,...
  3. In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always included a fair amount of rum. I just found these:
  4. Since the originator of the group no is no longer active here, I put you in charge...perhaps you can revive it?
  5. 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:
  6. Eye irritation can be so frustrating, especially when you're already adjusting to life with celiac disease. It’s great that you’ve seen an eye doctor and taken steps like using a heat mask and drops, which seem to have helped with the dryness. Sometimes, lingering irritation can be linked to inflammation as your body heals, or even to other factors like all...
  7. PS - This article has more info:
  8. Thanks for sharing this! One of our long time authors share this one a few years back, but I haven't tried it:
  9. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
  10. Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant l...
  11. Celiac.com 12/12/2024 - Moroccan Harira is a deeply traditional soup, typically served during the holy month of Ramadan to break the fast. Known for its hearty and warming ingredients, harira combines lentils, tomatoes, and a fragrant...
  12. Try using our search engine, but select articles, and in this case I also selected titles only: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=cheese&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy
  13. You may want to search the same site for other makers of the drug, if there are any. Many times generic manufacturers make the same drugs using different inactive ingredients. 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" and click it...
  14. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
  15. Given your long list of symptoms it would make sense to see if a 100% gluten-free diet helps relieve them, especially the anemia, and if so, it would make sense to just stay 100% gluten-free. Also, capsule endoscopy is not ideal for diagnosing celiac disease, as subtle villi damage cannot be detect by it.
  16. A classic CYA response, but their answer means that yes, Alprazolam 0.25 TABLETS contain zero gluten ingredients.
  17. While having an official diagnosis may offer some benefits, especially in places in the UK where the government offers food subsidies, and where follow up tests can be ordered afterwards, there are also drawbacks:
  18. This one is likely gluten-free, with the possible exception of the Fragrance (Parfum), which might require confirmation from the manufacturer due to its proprietary nature. If you have extreme gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, contacting the product manufacturer for verification is recommended. https://chi.com/shop/categories/styling/sprays/44-iron...
  19. Yes, there is a grey zone where some people with elevated blood antibodies that don't quite rise to the level of positive for celiac disease might be in a pre-celiac disease state, and will eventually test positive, while others in this grey area may never test positive. I would say that many in this group might have NCGS, especially if their symptoms go...
  20. Celiac.com 12/11/2024 - For those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or general preferences for gluten-free products, skincare products like lotions also become important. Though gluten doesn’t typically absorb through the skin, ...
  21. Your experience sounds incredibly challenging and frustrating. It’s impressive that you’ve been so methodical in tracking your triggers and finding safe foods. While it may feel bizarre, sensitivities like these can sometimes point to underlying conditions like chemical sensitivities, histamine intolerance, or even specific food additives. Have you considered con...
  22. Welcome to the forum! The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen...
  23. I agree with @trents on the sourdough bread--regular bread should be used, or Saltine crackers, etc.
  24. I'm sorry about your financial issues, and unfortunately we can't offer any legal advice here, but at least you've figured out that you have celiac disease, and have hopefully lead a more healthy life as the result.
