  1. 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...
  2. 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?
  3. 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).
  4. 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/
  5. PS - We have tons of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/
  6. 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.
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. Were you officially diagnosed with celiac disease at the time of your colonoscopy? If so, they must also have done an endoscopy, is that correct? I ask because celiac disease cannot be diagnosed with a colonoscopy. Did you also have a celiac disease blood panel done? If you are eating gluten now it would be best to get a blood test done for celiac disease...
  12. Welcome to the forum! Have you thought about getting tested for celiac disease before you go gluten-free? I ask this because you can only be screened for it while you are on a regular gluten diet.
  13. Many people seem to like Jules GF flour.
  14. Has your diet been 100% gluten-free since your diagnosis, or is it possible that you are still getting gluten in it? 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.):
  15. I've not heard of a connection before between celiac disease and eosinophilic fascitis, however given the high number of disorders that are related to celiac disease it's certainly possible that in some with eosinophilic fascitis, there might be a connection. While both conditions involve an abnormal immune response, there is no established connection between...
  16. Maybe stick to whole wheat bread for your challenge, as it will cause less blood sugar issues than white bread.
  17. Celiac.com 08/26/2024 - The study "Gluten is a Proinflammatory Inducer of Autoimmunity" explores the significant and diverse ways in which gluten, a protein found in many grains, affects human health. Although gluten is well-known for...
  18. Although dogs and cats evolved from a common ancestor about 42 million years ago, I don't think that they are very closely related nowadays, although both are naturally carnivores.
  19. Are you certain that his diet is 100% gluten-free? 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.):
  20. You should definitely talk to your doctor about your high blood sugar issue, as that can be far more serious than celiac disease symptoms.
  21. Celiac.com 08/23/2024 - Moroccan Chicken Tagine is a celebration of North African flavors and culinary traditions, showcasing the rich heritage of Morocco’s diverse cuisine. Named after the distinctive earthenware pot in which it is t...
  22. If you have been diagnosed already with celiac disease, then you would not need to eat gluten again, especially if you are trying to get screened for cancer. Cancer screening would not include a gluten challenge, only testing for celiac disease would require this. While an endoscopy is used to diagnose celiac disease, and a doctor might also see an issue...
  23. In general all ingredients are listed on the bottles of aspirin that I've see, and one needs to look at the inactive ingredients for any gluten or corn derivatives, although I've not seen any gluten in those I've looked at within the USA. Corn may be harder to avoid though.
  24. 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:
  25. 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.):
