    As this point do you really need a piece of paper with a formal diagnosis to tell you that you should not eat gluten? This is always the question I ask to those who seem to have figured out that they have a gluten sensitivity, but got bad instructions from their doctor about the testing protocol. Only you can answer this question, but would you keep eating...

    It sounds like it is naturally gluten-free, and both Thailand and Viet Nam are not countries that produce or use much wheat. Normally wheat is declared as an allergen if it is used in the same facility, usually with: "Made in a facility that processes wheat," but this I believe is a voluntary declaration and it isn't required on the label unless it is an...

    Keep in mind that you'll need to eat lots of gluten daily before any further tests can be done, and for a biopsy you need to do this for at least 2 weeks beforehand. Given that you stopped eating all grains for at least 3 weeks before your blood screening it's certainly possible that your tTG-IgA level might have reached the "weak positive" area or higher...

    More information about "Celiac Disease vs. Gluten Sensitivity: How to Tell the Difference"
    Celiac.com 10/02/2024 - The terms "celiac disease" and "gluten sensitivity" (AKA non-celiac gluten sensitivity) are often used interchangeably, but they represent different conditions with distinct causes, symptoms, and treatments. For...

    Yes, and we've done some articles on this which could be helpful:

    A quick look at their website and Provitalize claims to be gluten-free, so I wonder if you are getting gluten or some other food that you have an intolerance to in your diet? https://thebbco.com/products/provitalize Shortly after my celiac disease diagnosis I kept a food diary on an Excel spreadsheet (you could use Google Sheets) to track...

    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    To be safe, it's always best to go for products with at least "gluten-free" on their label, or even better, certified gluten-free.

    Thank you for sharing that article. There is indeed a connection between celiac disease and kidney disease, and there is an entire category of research summaries on Celiac.com dedicated to it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/ It's great to hear that your kidney...

    It's difficult to know the source of your issues without knowing more about what you've been eating, and whether or not you fully understand a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful: Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their...

    That's good to know, and I wonder if the same is true in the USA?

    Can you tell us the brand of salmon you are referring to? It's doubtful that gluten would be added in a canning factory in Thailand, but still possible. What are the full ingredients?

    For children the DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) should always be done, as their immune systems are not fully developed and the tTG-IgA doesn't always work. Given that he had what you describe as weak positive results, he could have celiac disease. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive...

    The vast majority of people with celiac disease can eat the grains you mentioned, unless those grains happen to be cross-contaminated with wheat, however, some celiacs report not getting better until they eliminate all grains, and/or other foods such as milk/dairy, oats, eggs, etc. This article may be helpful:
  15. Scott Adams
    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...

    I found that it contains the following ingredients: Based on the ingredients list provided, this soap does not appear to contain any obvious gluten ingredients. The components such as Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate, and other common soap-making ingredients are typically gluten-free. However, some fragrances or additives in personal care products...

    Not all gastro docs do this, but it is considered the standard for diagnosing celiac disease. Here's more info:

    I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter's diagnosis, and I can imagine how overwhelming this must feel for both of you. While I don't have personal experience, I do know that there can be a strong connection between celiac disease and hormone imbalances, and going gluten-free can sometimes help regulate these systems over time. In some cases, high...

    It could mean that: You have celiac disease but caught it early, before villi damage (especially true if you had a positive blood test for celiac disease--but there is the Marsh scale, and even minor damage could be caused by celiac disease); You have gluten sensitivity--approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have...

    Welcome to the forum. If you can't avoid eating out due to work and travel, you may want to consider taking an AN-PEP based enzyme like GliadinX (a sponsor here), as there has been a lot of research that shows that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. I still eat out because I enjoy doing so, and I used to have issues ~30% of the...

    If you believe that the rash or other symptoms you have might be caused by gluten sensitivity, then perhaps you could ask your doctor to have you screened for celiac disease? Some of the symptoms you mentioned, with the exception of the rash and nausea, don't sound like typical celiac disease symptoms, however, the only way to know for sure would be to get...

    If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
