    It's certainly possible, but since it just turned spring it could also be something that is blooming now that you are allergic to. Perhaps new plants around the new houses?

    Napoleon Bonaparte's itch was reported to have affected various parts of his body, including his hands, legs, and body in general. However, specific details about the exact location or severity of the itch are not extensively documented in historical records. It's often mentioned in broader terms, such as "Napoleon suffered from an itch," without specifying...

    Many people with celiac disease don't have symptoms, so your doctor is correct to make this diagnosis based on your results. Did they refer you to get an endoscopy to confirm this? If so, you need to continue eating gluten until all tests are completed, otherwise you might get false-negative results. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

    I've never been there, but this may be helpful. Here's a concise gluten-free restaurant card in Korean along with its English translation: ---Korean: English Translation: This card should help convey your dietary needs clearly in Korean and English when dining at gluten-free restaurants or explaining your requirements to restaurant...

    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...

    Is there any chance you have mold or mildew somewhere in your home? I've heard some horror stories about people who get major allergy and other health issues, and then discover black mold in their home.

    Good point, as I don't believe that sugar is good for anyone, and I avoid it. Eating too much can lead to imbalances in the gut microbiome which can lead to IBS-like symptoms.

    Feel free to share your blood test results here, and if you do include the reference ranges, because sometimes negative results aren't so negative (borderline readings are often just called "negative" by doctors, but elevated antibodies still must be explained). Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease...

    It is interesting that B1 lowers your glucose levels. Benfotiamine is the fat soluble version, and:

    It's not uncommon for individuals to suspect yeast overgrowth or candida, especially given the range of symptoms they can cause. While endoscopy is a valuable tool for examining the upper digestive tract and identifying certain conditions like reflux, ulcers, and inflammation, it may not directly visualize or diagnose conditions like SIBO (small intestinal...

    I see "gluten-free" on the front, so yet, it is safe for those with celiac disease: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Superfine-Blanched-Almond-Flour-2-lb/896217647

    Yes it is:

    That is interesting, because after I went gluten-free my nasal issues and allergies seemed to improve drastically. Is it possible you are still getting some gluten in your diet? 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.):

    Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."
  15. Scott Adams
    You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

    Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. 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.):

    Feel Good Foods is voluntarily recalling its Gluten-Free Plain and Everything flavored Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Bagels. The products may contain undeclared gluten that may be present due to cross-contamination. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to gluten run the risk of serious allergic reaction if they consume these products. The Gluten...

    I hope your recovery continues, and just want to ask what type of supplementation your doctor has you on since finding out you have osteoporosis?

    Hello @brian1, it sounds like you're based in the UK, is that correct? I am not sure what the rules are there but one of our moderators @cristiana may know. Have you had your nutrient levels checked? Low levels of certain vitamins can cause energy level issues. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to...

    The current medical recommendation is for all first degree relatives of those with celiac disease to be screened for it on a regular basis. Hopefully you've let your relatives know, but if not, it's a good idea because you might help one of them from years of suffering or worse.

    Both of my kids and my brother ended up having gluten issues--I'm positive for both DQ2 and DQ8, and got one gene from each parent. My mother also has celiac disease.

    If you look at the related articles below this article you will see the case of Paul Seelig, who went to prison for many years by doing exactly the same thing, but he sold regular bread and marked it as gluten-free.

    I've never heard of this before, may I ask who told you this, and where in the filter might there be gluten?
