  1. Celiac.com 04/21/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption, leading to damage in the small intestine. While it is widely known for causing gastrointestinal symptoms, it can also manifest in other parts...
  2. Celiac.com 04/19/2025 - Risotto alla Milanese is a dish steeped in history and tradition, originating in the vibrant city of Milan, Italy. Legend has it that this golden-hued risotto was created in the 16th century when a glassmaker’s...
  3. I think both systems have merits and faults, but in my opinion no citizen of any country should be denied health care, and it should be a basic human right, no matter your income.
  4. Celiac.com 04/18/2025 - The Margherita pizza is a timeless Italian classic, celebrated for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. Originating in Naples in 1889, this pizza was created to honor Queen Margherita of Savoy. Its colors—red tomatoes, ...
  5. Celiac.com 04/17/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, leading...
  6. This is a very difficult question to answer. The process for FDA approval could take 5-10 years or even longer. It could also fail during clinical trials, or lose funding (average cost years ago to get through clinical trials and FDA approval was $40 million!).
  7. Celiac.com 04/16/2025 - For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, enjoying Italian cuisine can often feel like a challenge due to the prevalence of wheat-based pasta and other gluten-containing ingredients. However, gluten-free...
  8. It’s frustrating how little awareness there is around celiac complications, even among doctors. Your discovery about histamine intolerance makes so much sense. It’s interesting how interconnected these reactions can be (heart arrhythmias from food? No one warns you about that). It’s great that antihistamines helped, and the ranitidine connection is a ...
  9. I think it couldn't hurt for you to be sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free with zero cross-contamination for a couple of months to see if that helps. If you're eating out you're likely getting some level of gluten in your diet. It's hard, but at least this would help you determine if gluten is the culprit.
  10. Celiac.com 04/15/2025 - For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, navigating food and drink options at popular chains like Starbucks can be challenging. While Starbucks is known for its wide variety of beverages and snacks...
  11. Celiac.com 04/14/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The primary treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, which helps heal the damaged small...
  12. Celiac.com 04/12/2025 - In a satirical twist that highlights the absurdity of hidden gluten concerns, a fictional advocacy group called Action on Gluten has "warned" the public about gluten contamination in fentanyl, a potent synthetic...
  13. You should avoid eating there if you don't trust the gluten-free claim that Taco Bell makes for their items on their website. Yes, there can be hidden gluten in some ingredients, but that does not mean that the company did not do their homework before making their gluten-free claim.
  14. It sounds like you’ve had a really rough week with persistent stomach issues after eating at that restaurant. Given your celiac diagnosis, it’s very possible that cross-contamination from the fries (since they weren’t cooked in a dedicated fryer) triggered a reaction, especially if they were fried in the same oil as gluten-containing foods. Your symptoms—diarr...
  15. Celiac.com 04/10/2025 - Celiac disease is widely recognized as an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption in genetically predisposed individuals. However, emerging research suggests that gluten alone may not fully explain...
  16. Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels...
  17. I typically bring my own food on flights and trains, and haven't had any issues doing that, although I never use ice packs. At the very least it's a good idea to have backup GF bars and trail mix whenever you travel.
  18. Honestly, with a 10x or higher level on a TTG-IgA score, there is really no other explanation but celiac disease, at least in my humble opinion.
  19. Celiac.com 04/09/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the small intestine, causing damage to the intestinal lining when gluten is consumed. However, its effects extend far beyond digestive distress. One...
  20. So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source?
  21. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive...
  22. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal, although this may not be the case for everyone.
