    If this is not a prescription, you would need to contact its maker to find out about its gluten-free status.

    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"...

    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...

    Just to clarify, Celiac.com is not taking a position on this article, we are just reporting this news, which is relevant to the gluten-free community.

    Fry oil can be contaminated with gluten, so it's important to be sure they use dedicated fryers. McDonald's uses them, but be sure to ask.

    More information about "The Savory Fig's Recall Issued Far Too Late to Help Celiacs Who Bought Fake Gluten-Free Products"
    Celiac.com 05/18/2024 - In a recent turn of events following the shocking allegations against The Savory Fig bakery in Patchogue, New York, the gluten-free community has been left reeling from the discovery that products labeled as gluten...

    In the USA, food manufacturers are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004. This act mandates that if a product contains any of the eight major food allergens, including wheat, it must be clearly labeled. However, FALCPA does not require manufacturers to disclose the possibility of cross-contamination...

    I'm glad to hear you're seeing some improvement since quitting gluten, but I'm sorry you're dealing with such intense mood swings. This is something others in the celiac community have experienced as well. When you eliminate gluten, your body goes through a period of adjustment, and this can affect your mood and emotions in unpredictable ways. Here are...

    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 will only comment on the possibility that your symptoms are related to nerve damage caused by gluten, AKA gluten ataxia, and if that is the case, besides needing to be 100% gluten-free you likely will also need to also take various supplements to help you recover. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead...

    Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy, and approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. and this recent s...

    Welcome to the forum. So you've been gluten-free for a while, is that correct? You mentioned a negative celiac disease test, can you share more about which test you took, and if possible, can you share the result with us, including the reference range of the test given? If you were not eating enough gluten before the test, it's possible that you got...

    Hopefully your doctor will clarify everything, but given your positive biopsy and symptoms that seem to be relieved when you go gluten-free, it's likely that you have celiac disease, although the normal protocol for diagnosis typically begins with a blood antibody panel, followed by an endoscopy. Let us know how it turns out! After you get the ok to...
