    If you mean their Pizza Sauce with Cheese it looks like it is naturally gluten-free, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.chefboyardee.com/products/pizza-and-sauces/pizza-sauce-cheese

    You mentioned that you've been gluten-free, were you eating gluten daily before your celiac disease blood tests and the capsule endoscopy? If not, you could have false negative results. Also, capsule endoscopy is not as accurate as a traditional endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, and the study below found "The team's results show that small bowel...

    It there any chance you ate other things besides the chicken? I ask because the ingredients are just chicken, and nothing else. If cross contamination with wheat were possible, they would have to include this as an allergen warning. Also, it's possible there is salmonella or other pathogen on the chicken which could cause similar symptoms.

    How long have you been gluten-free? 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...

    Many people with celiac disease go into remission once their gut heals. Some in this group get severe symptoms with even the smallest amount of gluten, while others don't get any symptoms when they eat lots of it. Just like the villi/gut damage from celiac disease can take years to heal, for some people it can also take weeks, months or longer for symptoms...

    More information about "Forced to Choose: A Father’s Battle Between Gluten-Free and Feeding His Family"
    Celiac.com 07/30/2024 - Andrew Bloodworth, a father diagnosed with celiac disease, faced a heartbreaking choice: to either afford food for his children or maintain his gluten-free diet. His story highlights the financial strain celiac...

    Eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test is critical, and the results of the test won't be accurate if you do not do this. 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:

    Many people with celiac disease are asymptomatic, but unfortunately if they keep eating gluten they still run the same health risks as those who have symptoms.

    I hope you have been eating gluten daily, lots of it, for your endoscopy. Some people mistakenly go gluten-free before all testing for celiac disease is completed, and doing that can cause false-negative results.

    When you are first diagnosed it is very normal to feel overwhelmed and depressed about the vast dietary changes that a 100% gluten-free diet entails. There are a couple of things that can help you feel like you have "regained control," and the two that I recommend are learning to read ingredient labels so that you can shop with confidence, and the other...

    I would say that a strict gluten-free diet should improve symptoms in most celiac disease patients, but some will need to eliminate more foods, as they may have additional food intolerance issues.

    I agree with @Russ H, and this is a very old rumor that used to be more common back when I was diagnosed. People used to claim that the heat from deep frying gluten would degrade the gluten and make it harmless, but modern gluten testing has put this rumor to rest--the harmful components of gluten do not degrade, unfortunately, when heated--not even in a...

    I did a quick Yelp search and found several options, but be sure to read the reviews carefully and speak to the staff before ordering to test their knowledge and responsiveness to their need to be gluten-free. https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Gluten+Free+Restaurants&find_loc=Nantucket%2C+MA Others on this forum, including myself, take...

    More information about "Reversing Hashimoto's: How a Casein and Gluten-Free Diet Transforms Immune Health"
    Celiac.com 07/29/2024 - Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroid disorder characterized by inflammation and impaired function of the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism. The disease involves a complex interplay of genetic...

    I tend to avoid situations where I might be perceived as rude for bringing my own food to a meal. One approach is to just eat beforehand and mention that your new gluten-free diet as the reason your being extra careful, and this might give you a chance to educate your friends and family about celiac disease, as it is important that they understand this now...

    I just want to mention that is well known that sourdough bread has far less gluten in it than regular bread. For a gluten challenge you should be eating regular bread. 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...

    Due to the formatting characters here I can't really tell what your results say. Can you re-type them so that we can read them easier?

    Welcome to the forum! I was around your age when I was diagnosed with celiac disease, and in the months leading up to my diagnosis I also ended up in the emergency room several times thinking I had heart issues. In my case vertigo symptoms that led to panic attacks were the culprit, and others here have reported very similar issues. It's good to hear...

    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...

    More information about "Eating Disorders, Body Image Dissatisfaction, and Gluten-Free Diet Adherence in Celiac Disease Patients"
    Celiac.com 07/25/2024 - Patients with celiac disease must follow a strict gluten-free diet to manage their condition. However, this dietary restriction can introduce psychological challenges, including eating disorders and body image issues...

    If you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the only treatment is a gluten-free diet. You've been told that your test results show that you don't have celiac disease, and I was curious about your blood test results because sometimes the results are in a grey area, rather than a black and white yes or no. For example, if the cut off for a...

    There is definitely a connection between celiac disease and liver issues, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/liver-disease-and-celiac-disease/

    In all honesty that designation is fairly recent, and very confusing--what I really think it means is that for patients OR doctors who really don't like the concept of a lifelong gluten-free diet it provides a way for either to "copout" on making an official diagnosis. There isn't for example, a "strong-negative" designation, where you might score 1...

    There is no way to tell for sure, this would depend on the level of exposure and the time period, and it would be different for each person. 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.):
  25. Scott Adams
    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.
