    There is solid evidence that indicates that celiacs are at higher risk for pneumonia, and since this is the way covid-19 seems to be killing people, it certainly makes me wonder if this means that celiacs who get covid-19 might be more prone to end up in the ~20% of those who have worse outcomes:

    Dairy allergies can cause congestion. Have you had allergy tests done? Have you been screened for celiac disease? You don't need to go gluten-free unless you have celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity.

    @cyclinglady is correct here that if it doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen the modified food starch is made from corn, but I just want to point out that a survey was done years ago and there are only a handful of very large companies in the USA that make modified food starch, and 100% of it is made from corn. Only if the product is made outside the USA...

    Actually all modified food starch made in the USA is made from corn. Please see our safe list:

    Panic attacks and anxiety are consistent with untreated celiac disease, and the good news is that if your symptoms were caused by gluten they will improve if you stay gluten-free. Although celiac disease has a wide range of symptoms, and even no symptoms, shortness of breath you are reporting would not be typical, however, it could be related to the...

    The pasta sauce is gluten-free: https://www.prego.com/sauces/classic-italian-pasta-sauces/garden-harvest-tomato-onion-garlic-italian-sauce/ browse their site for more info.

    Does it look like a rash from an allergy, live hives? Could it be caused by friction? I've not heard of gluten being used in cardboard, but I suppose its possible. I know that it has apparently been used in some dry wall.

    Maybe you mean this article?

    I doubt that there would be any gluten on the tabs, and even if there were the amount would be so small it likely would not cause issues. That said, obviously not doing it would be the safest choice and what I recommend, whether or not there is any gluten on the tabs. If you're dead set on trying this, and it sounds like you are, be sure you're with...

    A Nima sensor is accurate and would be far less expensive than owning and taking care of a gluten sniffing dog.

    If you're going to eat out I advise getting an AN-PEP enzyme and taking 1-2 with the meal. Here is a new article we just published on this topic:

    They actually had an incident and product recall because of a mixed up box car that added wheat to a batch. Unfortunately this happened at the same time they were rolling out their new gluten-free line. It was a major snafu, but it doesn't speak at all to the current safety level of their products. They did correctly handle the recall.

    It has been shown that a certain percentage of people have an intolerance to oats. It’s more likely that you are in this category than it is that Cheerios contain gluten to a level that would cause you issues. “But some boxes to get hot spots with more and go untested as they only test batches.” Although this claim has been made by different peopl...

    I am not sure what you mean by having it in the "grain category" but please let me know. Smirnoff, like any distilled alcoholic beverages, is gluten-free.

    Just to clarify, the ppm is not measured per serving. Under 20 ppm does not have anything to do with serving size. At that tiny level a vast majority of celiacs will have no symptoms, even if they at more servings. Yes, if you eat 10 servings you will get more gluten if something was at 10 ppm than if you ate only 5 servings, however, you would also get a...

    Yes, I felt like I was in a moving elevator when I wasn’t.

    IF one bag had 10ppm gluten then your overall exposure would be only 10ppm, even if you ate the whole bag...it is not measured per serving then multiplied.

    If they are 100% gluten-free it can take anywhere for a few weeks to a few months for their tests to normalize. I would just add that the lower the number are to begin with, the faster it will likely occur, and the higher the numbers, the longer it could take.

    Many people need a formal diagnosis to help justify the difficulty of staying on a 100% gluten-free diet for life. Also, they will be able to more easily get follow up care such as blood tests and biopsies. However, for many who can stay gluten-free without the piece of paper that says "celiac disease," there are other considerations, for example private...

    Celiac.com 02/25/2020 - Sierra Soups of Fresno, Ca is recalling its 13 ounce packages of "Pasta e Fagioli" because the soup mix contains an individually wrapped package of pasta, which contains gluten. However outer packaging states the product is Gluten Free. People who have allergies to gluten run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction...

    Vertigo is a very common symptom of gluten sensitivity, and I had this as well as brain fog. You might find this article interesting:
