    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:

    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...

    Fluoride helps to re-mineralize enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Do you use fluoride toothpaste?

    I haven't heard of this oven, but it looks great. I was considering getting a pizza stone to make my gluten-free pizzas more crisp, and will look into this. Let us know how it goes!

    It may be better to just keep your original appointment, and the start eating lots of gluten 2-3 weeks before your endoscopy. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

    It sounds like you're going through a challenging time. Keeping track of your symptoms and experiences is a great idea. Have you considered using a symptom diary or a health tracking app? These tools can help you record your symptoms, diet, medication usage, and any other relevant information that could be helpful for your gastroenterologist. Being able to...

    So it only takes one positive blood test to indicate that you have celiac disease, and you have shown us two positive tests here. 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 be done is the IgA Levels...

    Welcome to the forum. Is it possible you're getting gluten in your diet? If you eat in restaurants this may be the case. Also, do you include oats in your diet, or have issue with casein/milk? Shortly after my celiac disease diagnosis I kept a food diary on an Excel spreadsheet (you could use Google Sheets) to track what I ate, and what...

    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...

    In the USA natural flavors is considered gluten-free, but here are the details:

    Vinegar is typically gluten-free, although there are a few types that may not be. In this case it usually means distilled vinegar, which is always gluten-free.

    Your symptoms certainly could be celiac disease. If your rash goes away for the first time in decades after going gluten-free for a month, it is another indication that this could be the case. 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...

    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...

    Vertigo was a primary symptom for me before I went gluten-free, so it is a definite possibility.

    Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

    I just want to mention the possibility for those who had covid-19, it appears that brain fog is also a symptom of long-term covid: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10665893/ It's definitely associated with untreated celiac disease, but wanted to at least mention this because there can also be other causes.

    Thank you for the update on the current state of these cruise lines! This part was very distressing, and if you're correct here they likely made many people very sick on a very expensive cruise: How could they get this so wrong? Did you alert them about their errors?

    I've not heard of this as a symptom of celiac disease, but certain kidney conditions can be related to undiagnosed celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/kidney-disease-and-celiac-disease/ Definitely talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

    As @trents mentioned, Einkorn should probably be avoided by those with celiac disease, even though it seems to be less toxic than all other wheat varieties. The sourdough process further reduces gluten, so it would be very interesting to run a gluten test on the end result--I suspect it might be close to gluten-free--depending on the sourdough strains, possibly...
