    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    To be safe, it's always best to go for products with at least "gluten-free" on their label, or even better, certified gluten-free.

    Thank you for sharing that article. There is indeed a connection between celiac disease and kidney disease, and there is an entire category of research summaries on Celiac.com dedicated to it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/ It's great to hear that your kidney...

    That's good to know, and I wonder if the same is true in the USA?

    Can you tell us the brand of salmon you are referring to? It's doubtful that gluten would be added in a canning factory in Thailand, but still possible. What are the full ingredients?

    For children the DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) should always be done, as their immune systems are not fully developed and the tTG-IgA doesn't always work. Given that he had what you describe as weak positive results, he could have celiac disease. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive...

    The vast majority of people with celiac disease can eat the grains you mentioned, unless those grains happen to be cross-contaminated with wheat, however, some celiacs report not getting better until they eliminate all grains, and/or other foods such as milk/dairy, oats, eggs, etc. This article may be helpful:

    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...

    I found that it contains the following ingredients: Based on the ingredients list provided, this soap does not appear to contain any obvious gluten ingredients. The components such as Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate, and other common soap-making ingredients are typically gluten-free. However, some fragrances or additives in personal care products...

    I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter's diagnosis, and I can imagine how overwhelming this must feel for both of you. While I don't have personal experience, I do know that there can be a strong connection between celiac disease and hormone imbalances, and going gluten-free can sometimes help regulate these systems over time. In some cases, high...

    It could mean that: You have celiac disease but caught it early, before villi damage (especially true if you had a positive blood test for celiac disease--but there is the Marsh scale, and even minor damage could be caused by celiac disease); You have gluten sensitivity--approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have...

    Welcome to the forum. If you can't avoid eating out due to work and travel, you may want to consider taking an AN-PEP based enzyme like GliadinX (a sponsor here), as there has been a lot of research that shows that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. I still eat out because I enjoy doing so, and I used to have issues ~30% of the...

    If you believe that the rash or other symptoms you have might be caused by gluten sensitivity, then perhaps you could ask your doctor to have you screened for celiac disease? Some of the symptoms you mentioned, with the exception of the rash and nausea, don't sound like typical celiac disease symptoms, however, the only way to know for sure would be to get...

    If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

    Weak positive is still a positive test. 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. Using biopsy results only it does not require Marsh 3 damage to make a diagnosis--a diagnosis can be made with Marsh 2 level damage, especially if...

    Most wheat starch has most of the gluten removed, but only Codex wheat starch will test below 20ppm. It's clear that this type of work could never be done with someone who has a severe wheat allergy, not matter which wheat starch was used. As for people with celiac disease, those who are highly sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis (the skin manifestation...

    "marsh being only a 2 and not a 3" PLUS "ttg igg at most is only weakly positive" = celiac disease. Many celiacs are asymptomatic, so you cannot go by symptoms as a diagnostic criteria in all cases. Your TTg-IgA tests were negative due to your naturally low IgA, so the negative results don't mean anything other than IgA tests won't work with you.
