    I've sent an email to Dr. John Fagan, Chief Scientist at Health Research Institute, asking for his comments on that article, and I'll share any response. In his initial reply he doesn't say one way or the other whether or not he used blocking agents like non-fat dry milk (NFDM), bovine serum albumin (BSA), or casein, but since he's at an accredited lab I...

    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    More information about "Family Seeks Policy Change After Alleged Discrimination at Provo, Utah Water Park"
    Celiac.com 07/23/2024 - A mother from Utah County is advocating for changes after her teenage daughter, who has type one diabetes and celiac disease, experienced what the family claims was discrimination at a Provo water park. The mother...

    From a marketing standpoint it wouldn't work because no brand would want a 1/5 star anything on their labels. I think losing certification needs to happen if a company fails enough times, but the main thing here seems to be ending the step down testing process which may be leading to gluten creeping into GFCO certified products. As far as I can tell, the...

    More information about "Probiotic Intervention for Enhanced Gluten Digestion and Gut Health in Celiac Disease Management"
    Celiac.com 07/22/2024 - Gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains, is notable for its partial digestibility, posing significant challenges for individuals with celiac disease and related disorders. For these individuals, even minimal...

    Many doctors mistakenly dismiss the possibility of celiac disease in those who are overweight, but there is a lot of evidence that shows that being overweight is fairly common in celiacs, and here is a category with our summaries of the studies on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/obesity...

    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.):

    I'm not sure if this was covered already, but be sure that his iron pill is gluten-free, as well as any other meds or supplements. 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...

    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.

    It is not impossible to get neuropathy as a symptom from having non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). While celiac disease is more commonly associated with neurological complications such as neuropathy, there is evidence that non-celiac gluten sensitivity can also be linked to similar neurological symptoms. Studies have reported that some individuals...

    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...

    If you have celiac disease and go 100% gluten-free most damage can heal relatively quickly. According to this study: 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 in adults with celiac disease after treatment...

    This article is a bit older, but probably still relevant. Be sure that any medications or supplements you take are gluten-free:

    That is correct--if you have celiac disease it takes longer for the antibodies to show up in your blood than it does for the damage villi damage to appear. 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...

    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. I had gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive s...

    More information about "Assessing Nutritional Knowledge of Health Students Regarding Celiac Disease"
    Celiac.com 07/19/2024 - Celiac disease is a systemic, immune-mediated condition affecting the small intestine, triggered by gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Globally, the prevalence of celiac disease is around 1.4%, but...

    Some people on our forum need a formal diagnosis on a piece of paper in order to comply with a 100% gluten-free diet, but some don't. If you feel like you can go gluten-free without it then a formal diagnosis may not be necessary. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read...

    Olive oil is a good oil that is gluten-free.

    A positive test is still positive, and I personally don't believe in such a thing as a "weak positive," as this designation is relatively new, and began around 10 years ago. If you'd like to share your actual blood test results here feel free to do so, but be sure to include the reference range for positive. The next step is normally an endoscopy...

    This article may be helpful, but if you can have potatoes you may want to seek out a vodka made from potatoes?

    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...

    Long-term relationships are never easy, but the fact that both of you seem to be trying to make sacrifices and work things out to stay together is a good sign. As you've probably already discovered, gut microbiome imbalance is being linked in research to more and more health issues, and scientific research on this is still in its infancy. Although we published...

    Your symptoms after reintroducing gluten could indicate celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Blood tests like tTG-IgA aren't always conclusive, especially after being gluten-free. An endoscopy and biopsy are the gold standards for diagnosis. Advocate for a gastroenterologist referral, even if it means seeking a second opinion or a new doctor. Healing from...

    This varies greatly from person to person--some get symptoms within minutes, and for others it takes hours or even days. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
