Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist m...

  10. It sounds like you’ve noticed a clear connection between gluten exposure and your Afib episodes, which is really important insight. While it’s understandable to hesitate about medication if it feels like it might mask your symptoms, your cardiologist’s concern likely comes from wanting to protect your heart from potential risks, even if Afib is triggered inter...
  11. 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.

  17. 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:
  18. I think this varies a lot from person to person, especially if you eat out at restaurants regularly. What is your level, and how long have you been gluten-free?
