  1. Just be sure that the chocolate milk is gluten-free, as some contain barley malt.
  2. My daughter and I have had them many times without any issues, however, they were indeed labeled "Gluten-Free" on the package, otherwise we would not have tried them. We like them, but they don't have as much breading as the picture on the package shows.
  3. It's worth reading the many studies done on AN-PEP enzymes, which are used in GliadinX, and all are posted on their website. The best policy for celiacs is to avoid eating out, but if you're like me, that is a bridge too far--I enjoy eating out too much, as well as traveling.
  4. There are test kits available (urine test) that can tell you if you consumed gluten in the last ~24 hours, but without that, there is no way to be certain. Eating out in restaurants in the primary source of contamination for most celiacs. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional...
  5. I've not tried them, but making your own anti-inflammatory juice shots at home can be a great way to support gut health while ensuring ingredients are fresh, cost-effective, and tailored to your needs. Many store-bought options (like Thistle’s) are convenient, but DIY versions allow you to control ingredients and avoid additives. Some powerful anti-inflammatory i...
  6. It sounds like an exciting plan, and there is a lot of great naturally gluten-free foods in the Caribbean islands, Mexico, Central America, etc.
  7. If you’ve been strictly gluten-free for several years, your tTG IgA level of 13.6 (within the normal range of <15) is generally a good sign, as it suggests no significant gluten exposure or ongoing immune response. However, some celiac patients on a gluten-free diet may still have low but detectable tTG IgA levels due to minor cross-contamination, slow h...
  8. Celiac.com 05/20/2025 - Gluten-free baking isn’t just about avoiding wheat—it’s about creating delicious, satisfying baked goods that nourish your body and taste just as good (if not better) than traditional options. For people with celia...
  9. Research suggests a significant connection between celiac disease and dysautonomia, particularly conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Celiac-related autoimmune inflammation, nutrient deficiencies (e.g., B12, iron), and vagus nerve dysfunction may contribute to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Some studies report improved...
  10. 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.):
  11. You can see our Terms of Use here: https://www.celiac.com/terms/
  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. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...
  13. if it is an event, you would need to post that in our calendar.
  14. Is this only for those in the UK, or can anyone diagnosed with celiac disease participate?
  15. Celiac.com 05/17/2025 - Adobo, often called the unofficial national dish of the Philippines, has roots stretching back centuries—long before Spanish colonization. Historians believe early Filipinos used vinegar and salt to preserve meat i...
  16. Celiac.com 05/16/2025 - For people with celiac disease, avoiding gluten is just one piece of the puzzle. Research shows that celiac disease often coexists with other autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Type 1 diabetes, ...
  17. Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
  18. 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...
  19. Celiac.com 05/15/2025 - For people with celiac disease or soy allergies, avoiding gluten and soy in food is a daily challenge. However, many may not realize that these allergens can also hide in medications. A recent study examined how...
  20. You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:
  21. Tierra Farm is a sponsor here, but since you brought them up I wanted to mention that they have a 20% off coupon code this month: GF20
  22. This is likely made with Codex quality wheat starch which has been used in Europe in gluten-free products for decades, but is relatively new in the USA (after recent changes to labeling laws here). If labeled gluten-free it must be under 20 ppm, and is safe for most celiacs, but some report reactions to it. We have a category of articles dedicated to...
  23. 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:
  24. This is a typical CYA label, probably pushed by their attorneys, and it could be in conflict with their gluten-free certification. Hopefully they take additional precautions to prevent such cross-contamination.
