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 it must be declared on a product...

The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. 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.): If you have some time...

We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences.

Gluten free parakeet food
Scott Adams replied to AllyJR's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Most commercial parakeet seed mixes contain gluten-based fillers like wheat or barley, but it is possible to find (or make) a gluten-free alternative. A good starting point is to look for mixes that focus on naturally gluten-free seeds like millet, flaxseed, hemp seeds, quinoa, and buckwheat—just double-check for cross-contamination. Some specialty pet s...- 1 reply

Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains ele...

I think vitamin & mineral supplementation is key for you, and at the very least you should consider taking 1-A-Day multivitamin and perhaps additional supplements. This recent study is interesting: https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(20)30239-0/fulltext The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that...

Gluten free thyroid medications
Scott Adams replied to KimMS's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost. -

Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?
Scott Adams replied to jeriM's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I wish I had known you during the egg shortage! Are you living in a mansion now from the eggs sales?😉 -
No, it means that you inherited one DQ8-positive gene from one of your parents. The people who did your genetic test should be able to tell you which parent has the gene, but that parent should also get a celiac disease blood test done annually, as should any of your siblings and/or children.

Any chance you are getting traces of gluten in your diet? 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.):

Your interpretation is on the right track! Based on your results, you do have one of the genetic markers associated with celiac risk—HLA-DQ8—which means you inherited DQA1*03 from one parent and DQB1*0302 from the other. These two alleles together form the HLA-DQ8 haplotype, so having both confirms the DQ8 positivity (not just one alone). Since you’re ...

Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?
Scott Adams replied to jeriM's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It’s absolutely possible for celiac flares to affect your eyes—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity report eye inflammation (like uveitis or dry eyes) during systemic reactions. Since celiac is an autoimmune condition, the inflammation isn’t limited to just your gut; it can trigger immune responses elsewhere, including the eyes. The fact ... -
I must be NCGS
Scott Adams replied to Emdoller's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your journey sounds incredibly frustrating—dealing with mysterious symptoms for years, only to piece together the puzzle yourself, is both impressive and exhausting. It’s wild how something as routine as antibiotics can seemingly trigger such a cascade of issues, and it must’ve been scary to deal with the hives and swollen tongue without clear answers. The ... -
Welcome to the forum @drewsmom01, it’s frustrating how much trial and error goes into managing chronic digestive issues, especially when diagnoses seem to change or contradict your lived experience. It sounds like you’ve been through so much over the years, from the initial diabetes and gastroparesis diagnoses to the recent confusion after your upper GI/...
