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...

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:

So if the normal range for your tests is below 15.0 U/mL, and your results are 120.9 U/mL HIGH, it definitely looks like you could have celiac disease. Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm this, but with such high results it is also possible that the diagnosis might be made on your blood test results alone (more info on that is below)...

Welcome to the forum! Could you also post the reference ranges for your test results, unfortunately each lab has a different range, so there is no way to interpret your results without that info.

The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac...

The whole point of the gluten-free diet is to send the disease into remission. For some this process means strong reactions when exposed to even trace amounts of gluten, while for others it seems they have little to no reactions when exposed to larger amounts of gluten. In either case, research has shown that repeated gluten exposure will trigger the autoimmune...

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 gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

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:

It is very doubtful that there would be cross-contamination in a meat packaging facility--they have very strict USDA regulations that they must follow.

Let us know how it turns out...

I live in a mixed household, so it can be done, but it does take understanding from those in the family who still eat gluten.

No, celiac disease requires a 100% gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. In general people with treated celiac disease who are on gluten-free diets should be like anyone else who gets chemotherapy, and should obviously undergo recommended cancer treatments. One factor would be making sure that all medications they take are gluten-free. It sounds like your mother's cancer may have been...

It looks like it is naturally gluten-free, and I've not heard of any bacon that isn't naturally gluten-free, although you should always double check the ingredients:
-
If you have a positive endoscopy result, including a positive blood test for celiac disease, it definitely means that you probably have celiac disease. Since you were eating a low gluten diet your blood test results were likely lower than they would have been if you were doing a proper gluten challenge before the test. You could not get false positive results...

If you suspect that your son could have DH it might make sense to get him screened for celiac disease, and also consider having a dermatologist do a skin biopsy for DH. This article might be helpful if you decide to get him screened for celiac disease:

I've not known anyone with the covid rash, but I wonder if any of the remedies listed in this article might be helpful?

I'm not sure if you can find one that would be labelled gluten-free, as olive oil is naturally gluten-free and safe for celiacs.

1 Week Gluten-Free And I Have The Worst Gas Please Help!
Scott Adams replied to sallyb's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: -
A weak positive test is still a positive test, so it's likely that you may have celiac disease. 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:

I mostly drink green teas from Taiwan, but in general nearly all teas should be gluten-free. I don't order them online, and usually get them in tea stores in San Francisco.
