  1. I would only add that the article this thread is based on also found that 8% of products sampled which were certified gluten-free did not meet thee required certification standards, so it raises the question of just how much protection such a certification actually affords anyone.
  2. Good luck, I hope they decide to get checked.
  3. Welcome! It sounds like you've had quite a journey with your health. Your experience with IGG responses to cow's milk protein (CMP) is interesting. It's great that you've seen improvement since cutting out milk. It's wise to do genetic testing and consider all factors before deciding on an endoscopy. Staying off milk and gluten for a while to see how you...
  4. I've never heard of someone with gluten sensitivity whose libido increased when they ate gluten. For most people it seems like the opposite would be the case.

  8. Since you have a corn allergy you may want to get a vodka that is made from potatoes, just to be on the safe side. This article may be helpful, but be sure to check the website beforehand to verify the info before making a purchase:
  9. How did your tests go? It seems you've been gluten-free for a while now, so hopefully you understand that, just like the blood tests, your endoscopy (if for celiac disease), will likely be negative for celiac disease, because you've been gluten-free for so long. To be screened for celiac disease you would need to be eating gluten daily for weeks, which, given...
  10. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful:
  11. Some doctors, for example Dr. Rodney Ford and Kenneth Fine, MD, believe that gluten sensitivity is a spectrum, and most people with celiac disease start out with just NCGS, but due to a viral, antibiotic overuse, or other environmental trigger--end up with full blown celiac disease, at least for those with the specific genes for it. Certainly those with NCGS...
  12. The articles below offer info on how to get more fiber into your gluten-free diet:

  14. Celiac.com 07/08/2024 - Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the digestive system and is known for causing malabsorption due to damage to the small intestine's lining. This condition is triggered by...
  15. When considering treatments for non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), it’s important to focus on evidence-based approaches. There is currently no scientific evidence supporting the use of water ionizers to treat NCGS. Water ionizers claim to alter the pH level of water, but NCGS involves the body's response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, ...
  16. Celiac.com 07/06/2024 - Grey Fox Brewing, a Kelowna-based brewery, has garnered top honors in the gluten-free beer category at the recently held Canadian Brewing Awards. The brewery, known for its dedication to crafting quality gluten...

  18. First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but it's great that you're actively seeking answers and support. It's not unusual to feel overwhelmed with such complex symptoms, but you're not alone. Regarding your questions: Diarrhea and Celiac Disease: Having diarrhea again after cutting out gluten doesn't necessarily rule out celiac disease...
  19. Please let us know what you find out.
  20. Celiac.com 07/04/2024 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the ingestion of gluten causes an immune reaction that damages the small intestine in genetically predisposed individuals. This disease can lead to various systemic...
  21. PS - We have categories of research summaries, but they relate to celiac disease...you may find them helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/schizophrenia-mental-problems-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve...
  22. I am definitely not a psychologist or expert in that area, but it seems like even if you found some test that indicated that she has gluten sensitivity, she may not believe it anyway, and would still continue eating gluten. Has she ever agreed with you that gluten causes some of her mental and other health issues? Has she ever been gluten-free for at...
  23. I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds incredibly frustrating and overwhelming to deal with worsening symptoms despite following a gluten-free diet. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions that might help: Cross-Contamination: Double-check your diet and kitchen practices to ensure there's no accidental gluten exposure. Even...
  24. Mannitol can be derived from various sources, including wheat. However, the process of manufacturing mannitol typically removes proteins, including gluten. If the mannitol is highly purified, it might not contain significant amounts of gluten. While it is unlikely that a small daily pill containing highly purified mannitol derived from wheat would...
  25. Sorry, I can't change her genetics, and am just replying to your query about her genetic markers as they might relate to celiac disease. It's unclear from your posts whether or not she's ever had a blood test for celiac disease, has she? If so, can you share those results? If not, this would be the only way to diagnose celiac disease. It sounds like...
