    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
