  1. Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and below 20ppm, and has been used in gluten-free products in Europe for decades. We have a category dedicated to articles on this topic here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/
  2. Probably the best way to eat it would be to make curry regularly and just eat it that way.
  3. I also find the study very interesting, and we did a summary of it years ago, and go slammed for doing it (see the comments). I am always amazed at the knee jerk reaction by some in the celiac disease community when we do articles on such topics. In this case, there is a lot of good information to process from the study.
  4. I think turmeric can definitely help because it lowers inflammation, and it also thins your blood. I was taking it for quite a while, but stopped because I also have to take aspirin, and the combination of turmeric and aspirin would mess up my stomach. Similar to aspirin, turmeric should be taken with food, as it can cause stomach irritation. There...
  5. It sounds like you're going through a tough time with both dermatitis herpetiformis and now Pityriasis rosea. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease to experience additional skin issues after accidental gluten exposure, as your immune system can become more reactive. While dermatitis herpetiformis is a well-known manifestation of c...
  6. 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.):
  7. We've done an article on the AIP dies here:
  8. Without knowing anything about why you are having spine surgery I'm not sure how anyone could make a recommendations for you to delay it. Certainly there is a reason you and your doctors are planning this, which we know nothing about, and you should discuss your vitamin deficiencies with your doctor now.
  9. Celiac.com 08/29/2024 - The Caprese Salad, or Insalata Caprese, is a quintessential Italian dish that celebrates the simplicity and freshness of Mediterranean ingredients. Named after the island of Capri, where it originated, this salad...
  10. I'm sorry to hear about what your son has been going through. It's understandable that you're concerned, especially with the close timing of his celiac disease diagnosis and the onset of bone edema. While it's true that bone issues like edema aren't commonly linked directly to celiac disease, there have been cases where children with untreated celiac disease...
  11. Yes, interleukin-7 (IL-7) is indeed being studied in the context of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IL-7 is a cytokine that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of T cells, which are key players in the immune system. In the case of MS, research is focused on understanding how IL-7 contributes...
  12. 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.
  13. Celiac.com 08/28/2024 - Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder triggered by gluten consumption, leading to damage in the small intestine of genetically predisposed individuals. Despite its rising prevalence, many aspects of celiac...
  14. Celiac.com 08/27/2024 - Tempura is a popular Japanese dish known for its light and crispy texture. It typically consists of seafood or vegetables coated in a batter and deep-fried until golden brown. While tempura may seem straightforward...
  15. This is possible, however, in someone with celiac disease this is also a common area for those with DH.
  16. Many people with celiac disease do not have symptoms, however, their health risks are still the same as those who do have symptoms, so the recommended gluten-free diet for life is the same. In your case I'd still recommend getting an annual celiac disease blood panel done just in case, and perhaps at least one more endoscopy just to make sure your villi have...
  17. Is there a reason you don't want to be on a gluten-free diet, given that there are lots of health risks associated with eating gluten if you have celiac disease?
  18. Since the Franz Gluten Free is vacuum sealed I haven't had any issues with shelf life. Very few GF breads are sealed in vacuum packaging. I also like Canyon Bakehouse, but it is much more expensive than Franz, which I get for about $5 a loaf (a price that is comparable to some of Costco's high end wheat breads).
  19. In case you'd like to read more on Hashimoto's and celiac disease we have many articles in this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/
  20. PS - We have tons of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/
  21. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads.
  22. Although we've heard that drywall can contain gluten, and I believe this might be in the glue used to make it, even if this is the case most celiacs will not have issues from minor exposure. You may want to wash your clothes that were exposed, just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure how sensitive you are, but people with dermatitis herpetiformis might be...
  23. It is known that celiac disease can go into remission after someone has been gluten-free for a period of time, but if your diagnosis was correct, the symptoms will return eventually.
  24. So it sounds like you would prefer to self-diagnose rather than to get tested, which would require you to eat gluten daily for 6-8 weeks. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. This a...
  25. 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, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...
