  1. One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
  2. Be sure to look at the inactive ingredients, as it might still be naturally gluten-free.
  3. Celiac.com 11/25/2024 - The relationship between intestinal diseases and anal diseases has long been observed in clinical settings. Many patients with intestinal diseases, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, also suffer from...
  4. My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.
  5. Celiac.com 11/23/2024 - Sancocho is a beloved traditional dish found throughout Latin America, with variations in countries like Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Its roots can be traced back to the indigenous and Spanish...
  6. Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through an incredible journey with your health, and it’s no wonder you’re starting to piece things together and wonder about celiac disease. Your experiences—from childhood through adulthood—paint a picture of symptoms that are often associated with celiac disease, though t...
  7. Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors...
  8. This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work...
  9. Here you go:
  10. This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. ...
  11. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
  12. Celiac.com 11/22/2024 - Bandeja Paisa is a beloved dish from the Antioquia region of Colombia, known for its hearty combination of ingredients and bold flavors. Traditionally served as a large platter, this meal symbolizes the rich, agricultural...
  13. Soy has been on our safe list for nearly 30 years, it is gluten-free. Most soy sauces do include wheat, and should be avoided. 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...
  14. Celiac.com 11/21/2024 - On a bustling evening in downtown San Luis Obispo, Michael Milch, once a writer for HBO's acclaimed shows, finds himself in a new role: serving up his version of the perfect gluten-free bagel at his Salty Bagel...
  15. I don't think there is any way to be sure, as symptoms of SIBO and celiac disease can overlap each other. I was also treated with antibiotics around the time of my diagnosis, which also made me feel better, but in the end only a gluten-free diet did this for the long-term.
  16. I've not tried that, and I only get their fries and a drink when I eat there.
  17. Soy does not have wheat in it, and soy is gluten-free.
  18. I was not 100% sure about this due to this part of their comment "...and has been now referred to specialist for further advise." If the referral is to a gastroenterologist, then they may want to confirm via a biopsy.
  19. So just because a product is made in the same facility does not mean that it is contaminated, it's possible, and likely, that if it is labeled gluten-free, then it is in fact gluten-free. Why are you assuming that there is contamination? What is the product?
  20. Feel free to let us know how your cruise goes with the gluten-free options.
  21. 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:
  22. It is fine to keep her gluten-free at this point, and she can do a gluten challenge if you decide to get a formal diagnosis and do the endoscopy. You did not mention the reference range for her test result, as they differ depending on the lab, but the fact that she had a positive test AND feel better when avoiding gluten, make it very likely that she has...
  23. I'm not sure which doctor you mean, but it's an interesting approach that might possibly help people with food sensitivities, and possibly even prevent some cases of celiac disease from developing. I still wonder what might have happened with me had I listened to my allergist many years back who wanted me to only eat wheat once per week.
