I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

Working in a kitchen with gluten?
Scott Adams replied to PixieSticks's topic in Super Sensitive People
Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten... -

Daughter waiting for appointment
Scott Adams replied to jjiillee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,... -
In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always included a fair amount of rum. I just found these:

Active or close down?
Scott Adams replied to Goldenmom61's topic in DFW/Central Texas Celiacs's Events
Since the originator of the group no is no longer active here, I put you in charge...perhaps you can revive it? -
Refractory Celiac - doctor?
Scott Adams replied to Mmar's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes: -
Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet
Scott Adams replied to aperlo34's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Eye irritation can be so frustrating, especially when you're already adjusting to life with celiac disease. It’s great that you’ve seen an eye doctor and taken steps like using a heat mask and drops, which seem to have helped with the dryness. Sometimes, lingering irritation can be linked to inflammation as your body heals, or even to other factors like all... -
Gluten-Free Foods
Scott Adams replied to Dana Gilcrease's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
PS - This article has more info: -
Thanks for sharing this! One of our long time authors share this one a few years back, but I haven't tried it:

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:

Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant l...

Alprazolam gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Redward's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You may want to search the same site for other makers of the drug, if there are any. Many times generic manufacturers make the same drugs using different inactive ingredients. To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click 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.):
-
Given your long list of symptoms it would make sense to see if a 100% gluten-free diet helps relieve them, especially the anemia, and if so, it would make sense to just stay 100% gluten-free. Also, capsule endoscopy is not ideal for diagnosing celiac disease, as subtle villi damage cannot be detect by it.

Alprazolam gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Redward's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
A classic CYA response, but their answer means that yes, Alprazolam 0.25 TABLETS contain zero gluten ingredients. -
New to all of this
Scott Adams replied to Newhere19's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
While having an official diagnosis may offer some benefits, especially in places in the UK where the government offers food subsidies, and where follow up tests can be ordered afterwards, there are also drawbacks: -
This one is likely gluten-free, with the possible exception of the Fragrance (Parfum), which might require confirmation from the manufacturer due to its proprietary nature. If you have extreme gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, contacting the product manufacturer for verification is recommended. https://chi.com/shop/categories/styling/sprays/44-iron...

Yes, there is a grey zone where some people with elevated blood antibodies that don't quite rise to the level of positive for celiac disease might be in a pre-celiac disease state, and will eventually test positive, while others in this grey area may never test positive. I would say that many in this group might have NCGS, especially if their symptoms go...
