    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.

    Meat glue can be another culprit:

    We've had many members post about thyroid issues, but here is a category of articles on the topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/

    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. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful: 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...

    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...

    For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

    Good idea regarding the GliadinX, and I've never been there, but it seems like they should be able to accommodate you if you take careful approach and talk to the chef before you order. Hopefully someone who has been there can comment. There are also many apps on the market for this, but I do well using TripAdvisor for such things.

    Both regrowth of villi, and destruction of villi happen at different rates in different people. This depends on many things, like age, dietary compliance, different immune systems, etc. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality...

    The risk of getting gluten via wheat germ in cosmetic products is very low, but for those who are super sensitive we recommend avoiding such products, as there are many alternatives without gluten ingredients.

    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: PS - The genetic test results don't diagnose celiac disease, but can give you what your possible risk-factor is for developing celiac disease...

    The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac...

    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...

    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 broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

    I've never heard of anyone having issues with them, and they are labeled gluten-free? Any chance that it might be the high fiber content?

    You can definitely take them together, but with B vitamins it is best to take a full B complex as B vitamins work best when taken together. Have you ever had your vitamin levels checked?
