Considering having a blood test
Scott Adams replied to Kristina12's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
To be tested for celiac disease using blood screening you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks beforehand. 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... -
I also just want to mention that it's possible that your doctor might diagnose him with celiac disease without a biopsy, because his score was ~7x the level of diagnosis, so it is worth having a discussion with your doctor about this approach. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue...

First off, I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve been facing, both with your recent celiac concerns and the dermatitis you've been dealing with. It’s clear you’ve put in a lot of effort to figure this out, and it’s frustrating to still have lingering questions. Regarding your TTG-IgA result of 11.6 U/mL, you’re correct that many labs and celiac ...

Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies. 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...

Neurological/Nervous System Symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Jordan Carlson's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and I’m glad to hear you’ve already noticed improvements since going gluten-free! It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease to feel like their body is in a prolonged recovery phase, especially if the damage from years of undiagnosed celiac was severe. Your symptoms, like tingling, seeing stars, a pounding heart, ... -

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Oat Cereal
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level... -
Is Coffee Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Actually if shared equipment with a top allergen, and wheat is one of them, as a best practice it should be disclosed on the ingredient label as "made in a facility that includes wheat" or "made on shared equipment with wheat." Most large companies now disclose any possible risk with the top 8 allergens, but not all companies do this. -

Water filters and gluten
Scott Adams replied to Tonya Kane's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues. I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can... -

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.

Your experience sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re already seeing some improvements on a gluten-free diet. Based on your HLA gene results, the alleles you have (DQA101:02, DQA102:01, DQB102:02, DQB106:02) show a mix of gene types, some of which are associated with an increased risk of celiac disease, though none are definitive indicators on the...
