  1. Celiac.com 01/20/2025 - The ability of the vertebrate intestine to regenerate is a well-known phenomenon, but most research has focused on the role of crypt stem cells, small compartments within the intestine responsible for producing...
  2. Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.
  3. If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a...
  4. As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies...
  5. How long ago were you diagnosed? There are many symptoms and issues for those who are newly diagnosed, and recovery can take a while. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with...
  6. Celiac.com 01/17/2025 - Maintaining a gluten-free diet is essential for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but the cost of gluten-free foods can be daunting. Many people assume that a gluten-free lifestyle automatically comes...
  7. It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease, especially those undiagnosed for a long time, to experience lasting digestive issues even after going gluten-free. The damage caused by years of inflammation in the small intestine can sometimes lead to other conditions like delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), acid reflux, or food intolerances. Staying u...
  8. Celiac.com 01/16/2025 - Celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption, is known for its gastrointestinal and systemic impacts. Recent research indicates potential connections between celiac disease and chronic...
  9. @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.
  10. Celiac.com 01/15/2025 - Celiac disease is a complex autoimmune disorder that requires strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet for effective management. This diet, while essential for recovery and symptom relief, poses several nutritional...
  11. Definitely share your skin lymphoma suspicion with your doctor, as they can run some simple tests to determine the cause. You also should bring up and treat your iron levels, as they can contribute to frailty.
  12. I lean towards very probably celiac disease due to the two positive tTg-IgA blood tests. Although there are other things that might cause this test to be elevated in certain individuals, the most likely cause by far would be gluten sensitivity. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms...
  13. What is the LCHF diet...low carb high fiber?
  14. Celiac.com 01/14/2025 - As the gluten-free food industry expands, those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity have more options than ever. From bread to cookies and yes, even pretzels, the market is brimming with snacks designed to...
  15. The link is in my signature block, but is:
  16. Keep in mind that Dapsone can have some serious side effects, so be sure to look into those before you start using it. More about that is here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dapsone-oral-route/description/drg-20063327
  17. Celiac.com 01/13/2025 - Celiac disease is a complex autoimmune condition that affects the small intestine in individuals with a genetic predisposition. It is triggered by consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The...
  18. It took me 2-3 years to feel like my gut recovered, and then I still had gluten ataxia issues for well over a decade. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free...
  19. Celiac.com 01/11/2025 - Japanese curry, or "kare," is a beloved dish that has become a staple in Japanese households and restaurants. Its origins trace back to the late 19th century when the British Navy introduced curry powder to Japan...
  20. I've not tried the product, but it is definitely possible that it contains barley and wheat grass, and is gluten-free. I would imagine that they are regularly testing their product for gluten content, since they are making the claim that their product is gluten-free. I personally avoid these ingredients, but some celiacs do consume them without issues. PS...
  21. Welcome back! Many celiac patients navigating perimenopause or menopause consider estrogen therapy, and there’s growing research highlighting its potential benefits. Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest t...
  22. It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, pa...
  23. I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.
  24. Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that...
