    Just to clarify, this article does not mention any brands, it is new research that is being done and the bread is not currently commercially available.

    The prevalence of MTHFR gene mutations varies by population. The two most studied variants are C677T and A1298C. C677T Variant: Homozygous (two copies of the mutation)**: About 10-15% of the general population. Heterozygous (one copy of the mutation)**: About 30-40% of the general population. A1298C Variant: Homozygous...

    I agree with @trents and a full celiac disease blood panel would be a good idea given your symptoms. I would also like to know more about the test you ordered for gluten intolerance.

    Your symptoms certainly sounds like celiac disease, and I would request a celiac disease blood panel as well because not everyone performs or interprets the endoscopy/biopsies correctly. 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...

    Can you share with us what product you mean? Rigorous cleaning processes between product runs, and throwing away some of the first gluten-free product run through the equipment, can mean that the products are indeed gluten-free.

    Yes, the quote attributed to Hippocrates is often rendered as "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This statement reflects the idea that a healthy diet can be a fundamental part of maintaining good health and preventing disease, rather than relying solely on medicines. While the exact phrasing may vary, the essence of the message emphasizes...

    Given that you paid so much for these tests, I think it would be a good idea to contact Rootcause Foundation and find out exactly what test for gluten that they ran, and what your results were. I've never even heard of a test for gluten allergy, but have heard of testing for wheat allergy. They should be able to tell you what test you were given, which...

    Did you get a blood panel done for celiac disease? If so, what were the results?

    AMB Food Inc. in Brooklyn NY is recalling 8 oz bags of Pop a Nosh Mix Munch Regular and Honey BBQ snacks because it contains pretzels, but does not list Wheat as an allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The products were distributed...

    Yes, I recommend creating a new post on the forum describing your son's symptoms.

    Feel free to share your blood test results for your celiac disease panel (hopefully they did this). The endoscopy procedure is generally safe and complications are rare. Sedation ensures that the patient feels minimal discomfort. Most people do not remember the procedure and experience only mild side effects like a sore throat or bloating afterward.

    If this is not a prescription, you would need to contact its maker to find out about its gluten-free status.
  17. Scott Adams
    Of course it's best to get the findings directly from your doctor, as I'm not a doctor, but the findings described in your endoscopy report could be consistent with celiac disease, but they are not definitive without the results of the biopsies. Here's how each finding relates to celiac disease: Irregular Z-line: This finding is related to the esophagus...

    So your MD diagnosed all of this? It seems like many tests must have been run to find such a large array of issues. These are what stick out to me, in relation to gut health, and I'm not sure what the findings were, or what tests were done to determine them: Food allergies Possible autoimmune Tick or parasites problems Leaky gut Small...

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

    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.):

    First of all, I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles. Living with celiac disease and managing food restrictions can be challenging, especially when you're facing financial difficulties. It's great that you've started changing your eating habits to manage your health better, even if it means some foods are affecting you differently. Here are a...

    I did not call celiac an allergy.

    There are other allergens in the cookies, including soy and dairy: @R. M. LOMBARDO, given that Mondelez International now makes gluten-free Oreos (in several varieties) and now Chips Ahoy!, as well as other gluten-free products, I'm not sure it's fair to call them "Big Wheat" anymore. I just bought a package of these for my daughter for $3.84 at Safeway...

    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. If going gluten-free relieved your symptoms, then you may already have your answer--you likely have celiac disease. If you need a formal diagnosis to help you stay on a gluten...
