  1. Your blood test was not negative (TTG-IgA result - 4 where <4 negative), but looks borderline if above 4 is positive or weak positive, but you can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response...
  2. Welcome to the gluten-free lifestyle! It’s great to hear that eliminating gluten has already helped with your fibromyalgia symptoms—that’s a huge win in just three weeks. Mistakes happen (especially when traveling!), so don’t be too hard on yourself. Each slip-up is a learning experience. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is ...
  3. If you're looking for a gluten-free stool softener for post-surgery use, Docusate Sodium (Colace) is a widely recommended option, and many of its formulations are gluten-free. The Colace Clear Gel Liquid version is often considered safe for celiac patients, but since labeling practices vary, it’s best to verify with the manufacturer (some pharmacies can a...

  5. Sorry to hear that you got glutened! Thanks for sharing, and I hope the GliadinX saved you more misery with some of your other meals.
  6. If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.
  7. I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.

  11. Your family’s story is both inspiring and ahead of its time! Making your home completely gluten-free in 1978—when awareness and labeling were so limited—was a radical act of love and protection for your son. The fact that your husband, a foodie, fully supported this decision speaks volumes about your family’s dedication. It’s remarkable how that choi...
  12. Since gluten sensitivity or celiac disease could be a factor (alongside other potential allergens like dairy, eggs, or environmental triggers), getting proper testing is key. In Christchurch, you could start with a pediatrician or GP who can refer you to an allergist/immunologist or a pediatric gastroenterologist (if celiac is suspected). For allergy testing...
  13. Your experience highlights a common frustration in celiac disease diagnosis—discrepancies between lab results, biopsy findings, and clinical symptoms. The "localized mild nodular mucosa" noted in your duodenal bulb could indeed be significant, even if the overall pathology was deemed negative. Nodularity in the duodenum is often associated with lymphocytic i...
  14. Except the topic of this site is celiac disease...how does the video relate to our topic here?
  15. The burning sensation you describe—particularly upon waking or after exercise—could indeed be related to systemic inflammation, which is common in autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's and celiac disease. Gluten exposure, even in small amounts, may trigger an immune response that exacerbates inflammation, leading to the achiness and burning you feel, es...
  16. 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. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...
  17. Celiac.com 08/04/2025 - Celiac disease is widely recognized as an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the small intestine and impairs nutrient absorption due to gluten exposure. Most people associate it with gastrointestinal symptoms...
  18. 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"...

  20. The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!
  21. Your symptoms--all of them--are associated with untreated celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. I had many of them myself when I was diagnosed at ~25 years old--and it is interesting that you mentioned your eyesight improvement to 20/20, as I also had to wear corrective glasses at the time of my diagnosis, but after 2-3 years on a gluten-free diet I no...

  24. This is an interesting case. A positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody with a negative endomysial antibody (EMA) and normal duodenal histology can present a diagnostic challenge, especially in an asymptomatic patient. While the absence of villous atrophy and negative EMA suggest that the likelihood of active celiac disease is low at this time, such...
  25. Have you tried to start a gluten-free diet since your diagnosis in 2019?
