A.I. weighs in on beer
Scott Adams replied to Oldturdle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, you can believe this, and many people have reported drinking regular beer for years but having not damaged villi or elevated blood antibody tests. However, the problem is that there are different sensitivity levels among celiacs, and some do react to very low levels of gluten. This article is interesting, as it covers "gluten-removed" beers which still... -
Celiac induced small fiber neuropathy
Scott Adams replied to Carlyallyn's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree that supplementation can help. 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... -
In the USA you can deduct the extra cost of gluten-free foods over the year vs. regular foods, but the process is tedious and most people don't do it. Here are some articles we've done on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/tax-deductions-for-gluten-free-food/

Digestive Issue?
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes, this can be common in celiac disease. Is your diet 100% gluten-free? How long have you been gluten-free? When you consume gluten, it can damage the lining of your small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and causing symptoms like diarrhea and undigested food in your stool. To me it sounds like your intestinal damage hasn't healed. Many... -
Cross contamination
Scott Adams replied to normagain's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Cross-contamination with gluten can still cause damage to the intestines even if you don't feel immediate symptoms. For those with celiac disease, any exposure to gluten can trigger an immune response that leads to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining, which can hinder your progress and overall health. It's crucial to maintain strict gluten-free... -
I'm really sorry to hear this, and I can understand your frustration and need to figure out what is going on. I would follow your doctor's advice about the aspirin, and be sure to always take it when you have a full stomach, as it can cause stomach upset when taken on an empty stomach. I am not sure what your medical insurance covers, but would it be...

Trying to read my lab results
Scott Adams replied to Bayb's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree with @trents and it sounds like your biopsy results indicate changes in your small intestine consistent with celiac disease, including increased intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous blunting. These findings suggest inflammation and damage typical of celiac sprue, but final diagnosis will depend on correlating these results with your clinical symptoms... -
Given that you have an allergy, it might make sense to call companies directly about their products. Look for hard seltzers labeled gluten-free and free of corn-derived ingredients. There may be brands that fit these criteria, but always check labels for any allergens.

Welcome to the forum. Can you tell us more about your situation? Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? Are you gluten-free? If so, for how long, and is your diet strict?
-
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. You have 3 positive tests here, which make it extremely likely that you have celiac disease, especially with the family history, symptoms, etc. I think you ought to be very strict with your gluten...

Here are some articles we've done on studies that link celiac disease with eating disorders: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=eating disorders&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy

I agree and @SMK7 your next step would be an endoscopy, and even if that were to turn out negative you may still want to go gluten-free, as you may be in the early stages of celiac disease, and are definitely mounting an immune response to gluten. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there...

E.A.C. Rash (round hot )
Scott Adams replied to PAD's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum @PAD, it sounds like you go a blood test for celiac disease, hopefully you were eating lots of gluten in the weeks leading up to your blood draw if this is the case. Since it runs in your family your odds of also having it are much higher than the general population. Here are some article on celiac disease and liver disease: https... -
Brands of Gluten-Free Parmesan Cheese
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Yes, you are correct, but what I meant was that it is completely unknown whether or not eating it will pose a problem for people with celiac disease who are gluten-free. The research articles discuss the autoimmune interaction when microbial transglutaminase AND gliadin interact in the body--people with celiac disease are gluten-free. I've been eating meat... -

Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score. Many biopsy...

Brands of Gluten-Free Parmesan Cheese
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
I just want to mention that the articles you shared are very early research, and at this point there is no reason to fear microbial transglutaminase in dairy or other food products--it is gluten-free. It's possible that for a minority of people with celiac disease eating microbial transglutaminase could trigger a reaction, but at this point there is no evidence... -
Glutened…
Scott Adams replied to jennlove's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's probably too late for this, but this article, and the comments below it, may be helpful: -
I suspect that you and your husband may have issues with the mono and diglycerides used in their products, but I seriously doubt that there is any gluten in their products. Mono and diglycerides can be derived from both animal and vegetable fats. The specific fatty acid composition of mono and diglycerides might affect digestion. Some people may have difficulty...
