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.): -
Unless the oven is just caked with gluten it isn't likely that your pizza would get contaminated to the point where it would be above 20 ppm gluten. A basic cleaning like you did should do the trick.

Celiac.com 08/14/2024 - Refractory celiac disease type II, commonly referred to as RCDII, is a rare and severe form of celiac disease. Unlike typical celiac disease, RCDII does not respond to a gluten-free diet. This condition is marked... -
Reacting to Brown Rice
Scott Adams replied to Jelly bean's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product... -
It's really hard to say when there will be a prescription treatment available for celiac disease. I've been saying that we're really close for over ten years now. A few attempts have already fizzled out in the later stages of FDA approval. I now think we're at least 5 years away, but I could be wrong.

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 studies have been done, and we've done our best to summarize them here, but there is no easy answer to your question: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/

I like the idea of the company not performing the testing, which seems like a huge conflict of interest to me.
-
There have been studies done, and I believe certain gluten-free brands try to use the type that don't trigger reactions:
-
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 Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

Reacting to Brown Rice
Scott Adams replied to Jelly bean's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Brown rice is considered to be gluten-free, so if you have celiac disease it should be a safe option. I'm not sure if you can find a brand with "gluten-free" on its label, but if you can perhaps order that one? -
Dermatitis Herpetiformis on feet
Scott Adams replied to Kitkatco's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
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: -
Is popcorn gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Caden 12's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Pure, uncontaminated popcorn is gluten-free, but like anything, it can be contaminated by toppings or poor handling, as well as by other ingredients that could be added. More info: -
Great question, as there have been studies to show that meat from grain-fed beef is gluten-free: I suspect that there must have been cross-contamination, and there could be many avenues for this, but it does make one wonder if it isn't better to grind your own beef?
-
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of frustrating symptoms. Low vitamin D can definitely contribute to fatigue, muscle weakness, and bone pain, which might explain some of what you're experiencing. Anxiety can also manifest physically in various ways, including chest pain, muscle tension, and tremors. However, given the range of symptoms you're describing...
-
Great questions, and maybe another topic for an article! The GFCO has become the standard, but could probably be greatly improved, but I've not looked into the standards of other organizations like SCS Global, NCA, and NSF.
-
@Eldene, if you run some searches here you will find many posts on nutrition, junk food, etc., so these are definitely topics of discussion here as well. Many of our articles also cover different topics, for example we've done articles on junk food, lectins, oxalates, etc. Here is a search of Celiac.com for "junk food": https://www.celiac.com/search...

PS - I agree with your interpretation about the G12 test being more accurate for the 33-mer which is the portion of gluten in wheat that causes the immune reaction and gut damage. The info in that brochure, along with the answers I got back from Dr. Fagen at HRI, led me to write the article--I don't believe that the Gluten Free Watchdog's analysis holds much...
-
More research is being done in this area, but much more needs to be done. Cross-reactivity is well known: and the fact that certain oat varieties seem to also trigger reactions in some but not all people with celiac disease is also well known (and the G12 test can detect this type of oats, which is new news to me).
-
I'm not sure about the absorption difference, but I've been taking Citracal Maximum Plus from Costco for years now, but my gut healed decades ago, so I guess this would depend on how long you've been gluten-free.
