    I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. It's tough when dietary needs add financial strain. While I can't provide specific advice on EBT benefits, you may want to reach out to your local Department of Social Services or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) office. They can provide guidance on potential benefits or assistance programs...

    It's great that you're seeing changes after going gluten-free! Diarrhea can indeed be a symptom of celiac disease, especially during the initial stages of gluten elimination. It might indicate your body's response to the dietary change and the healing process underway. Celiac disease can affect people differently, causing constipation in some and diarrhea...

    You called it "Crush" but did you mean "Crest"? https://ca.crest.com/en-ca/oral-care-products/mouthwash/crest-pro-health-bacteria-guard-mouthwash-with-alcohol It looks like it is naturally gluten-free:

    Yes, before I started taking supplements regularly I used to get agonizing Charlie horses, especially at night. See my signature block for a link to my supplement list. 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,...

    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:

    We have some very old recipes on our site here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-flour-mixes/ and I very much trust this author's mix:

    I've not had them before, but are the ones you had issues with these? https://www.utzsnacks.com/products/utz-bbq-ripples-potato-chips?variant=40674192130092 If so, it looks like they might be naturally gluten-free, but don't say "gluten-free" on their label:

    The idea that very sensitive individuals with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) can experience a reaction from skin contact with gluten is a topic of ongoing debate and research within the medical and scientific community. While some anecdotal evidence and individual reports suggest that skin contact with gluten-containing products can lead...

    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/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

    The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace because it contains gluten which is not declared on the label. Kool Kitchen - Veggie Burgers - 476 g i UPC: 651539200944 This recall was triggered by a consumer complaint. There has been one reported reaction associated with the consumption of this product. The Canadian Food...

    It would be good to get more info about those tests, as the way they are written it is hard to know for sure exactly what tests were done. If the first test was a tTg-IgA that was positive for celiac disease, then the next step would likely be an endoscopy to confirm it. It her symptoms have improved on a gluten-free diet you may wish to pass on the endoscopy...

    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. Your positive blood test alone makes it pretty likely you have celiac disease, but combined with a positive endoscopy results the chances you have celiac disease would be extremely high.

    Unfortunately skin contact with gluten is not so black and white, and it turns out that some super sensitive people do have issue when using skin products that contain wheat, especially those with dermatitis herpetiformis. Our forum is full of examples of people who have reactions to various forms of skin contact with gluten.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Make sure that your mother and other first degree relatives also get tested for celiac disease, as 30-40% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease. Also, you can still have fried chicken, but it needs to be made with gluten-free ingredients. Here are some recipes: https...

    I agree, and eating out is the number one source of gluten contamination, even in restaurants that offer gluten-free menus. Unfortunately the turnover at restaurants is high, and not everyone working in them is trained properly...or care enough.

    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...

    More information about "Speculating on Benjamin Franklin's Health: Could He Have Had Celiac Disease?"
    Celiac.com 04/06/2024 - Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most renowned Founding Fathers, was a man of many talents and achievements. From his contributions to science and literature to his pivotal role in shaping the nation's early...

    The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...

    Having celiac disease genes does not rule out the possibility of having non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption in genetically predisposed individuals. It involves an immune response that damages the small intestine. On the other hand, non-celiac gluten sensitivity refers to a condition...

    Just so I understand, you have not been diagnosed with celiac disease, and include gluten in your diet, is that right? 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,...

    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:
  24. Scott Adams
    I believe that this may not be correct: "People with Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity do not have Celiac genes." I believe that both people with and without celiac genetic markers can have NCGS. @Rachel SA, did have an endoscopy for celiac disease? A colonoscopy is different, and doesn't look for celiac disease. Perhaps they did both? If you did a colonoscopy...
