    Yes, it sounds like you may be overthinking things a bit. I think the last thing a barber would want to do is spray some hair chemicals in their customer's mouth. 😉 If you are supersensitive, however, it's better to be overly cautious, rather than the opposite. Many people forget about checking their hair care products, makeup, lotions, medications, e...

    So you are on a gluten challenge to be re-tested for celiac disease, and this is because you tested negative before? Since you have such bad symptoms may I ask why the official diagnosis is so important? 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 o...

    Hi @Blue Roan, around 10% of people with celiac disease cannot tolerate oats, so you may be in that group. Try eliminating them for a few weeks to see how it goes. 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...

    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...

    Hi @Cramper, thanks for the update! Are you on a gluten-free diet? 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...

    It's hard to believe that Celiac.com will turn 30 next year! When I thought of that today this old thread came to mind. I hope everyone is well!

    Stonewall Kitchen of York, Maine is voluntarily recalling a limited amount of their Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Mix because it may contain an undeclared allergen, wheat. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat (which contains gluten) may risk serious allergic reaction if they consume this product from impacted lots listed below. ...

    Welcome to the forum @Marie Cooper. This thread is pretty old, so you may not get a reply from the original posters. Are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

    Just a quick question, can the host live in any state in the USA?

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's not uncommon to have some discomfort or pain after an esophageal dilation procedure, especially if biopsies were taken. The fact that you're still struggling to drink liquids and experiencing pain a week later is concerning, though. Since you've already been to the hospital and had a CT scan that came back fine...

    Where did you hear that young adults with (untreated) celiac disease die within a year?! While it's possible that some people who are untreated could die if they continue eating gluten, the likelihood is still relatively low. In general, if someone with celiac disease goes 100% gluten-free, especially when they are younger, they can expect to have a...

    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:

    Taylor Farms Pacific, a Tracy, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 19,976 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) apple walnut with chicken salad bowl products due to misbranding and undeclared wheat allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product may contain wheat, a known allergen, ...

    I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with celiac disease, but it's great to hear that you've experienced some improvements and are taking proactive steps to manage your health. Fingernail issues can sometimes indicate deficiencies in certain nutrients, despite taking supplements. Since you're already on a regimen that includes vitamins...

    Welcome to the forum! If he is getting gluten in his diet, and the evidence points that way, it seems like the most likely place would be at his day care program, but you did not mention whether or not your household is gluten-free. If there is regular gluten foods in your home, it's possible he could be sneaking some from time to time. When he's at...

    It's difficult to say how long it took for you to reach this stage of damage, probably years, but now it's time to focus on recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment...

    If you know that gluten causes your symptoms, then there is no need to be retested unless you need a formal diagnosis for some reason. 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.

    I just did a very thorough clean on all of my cooking equipment, dishes, utensils, etc., but everyone has different sensitivity levels. I live in a mixed house gluten vs. gluten-free, but we've managed to keep things safe for us who are gluten-free.

    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...

    It's understandable that you're concerned about gluten contamination, especially after being diagnosed with celiac disease. While high temperatures can help break down some proteins, including gluten, it's important to note that it may not completely eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, particularly on porous surfaces like grills or slow cookers. For...

    Determining the appropriate daily calorie intake for an individual requires considering various factors beyond age, gender, height, and weight, such as activity level, metabolic rate, and overall health. However, as a rough estimate, the average daily calorie requirement for a sedentary 22-year-old male who is 168 cm tall and weighs less than 50 kg could...
