    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:

    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.

    It would probably make sense to start out with your doctor's recommendation, and be sure any meds and supplements you take are gluten-free, and the get a follow up test for your iron level in a few months. Most people can still absorb iron if they take a supplement, but it is possible you could require an infusion if your levels don't increase over that time...

    Congratulations! Symptoms can vary quite a bit from person to person, and most people report the opposite--diarrhea when eating gluten which usually goes away after a while on a gluten-free diet, but constipation is also a fairly common symptom that our members report.

    Prilosec and PPI's in general are some of the most overprescribed drugs ever, and it has become clear that prolonged use can have very negative side effects caused by decreased nutrient absorption--the exact thing that celiac disease causes when it destroys your villi. They certainly should not be prescribed for DH alone.

    Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score. Many biopsy...

    The only way to actually eliminate celiac disease as a possibility would be to get a blood panel done for celiac disease. This article might be helpful, but even if you don't have celiac disease, 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...

    Good luck!

    You could put her on a gluten-free diet, and then for at least 2 weeks before her endoscopy put her back on a heavy gluten diet, but be sure to discuss this with her doctor. 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...

    Although it seems unlikely, if you are supersensitive it may be possible. Consider wearing a covid-type mask when you are doing this job, just to eliminate it as the issue. Also, do you eat outside your home? Eating at restaurants is a common source of gluten contamination.
  13. Scott Adams
    It is possible that the meals you ate were cross-contaminated, and since you were on vacation perhaps you also ate at more restaurants than usual, which is also the most common source of gluten cross-contamination. 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...

    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...

    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:

    Thanks for posting this...they reformulated and discontinued using wheat starch as an ingredient. I'm not sure if you saw this article we did, but I tested one crust as positive for gluten (this was their old formulation) using a Nima sensor:

    If I am reading this correctly it looks like she's at least 2x the cut off, so and if so, she likely has celiac disease. What has her doctor said about this result? Have they scheduled an endoscopy?

    Although this study didn't specifically look at celiac disease, it is interesting that certain autoimmune diseases appear to be triggered by covid-19, as many people in our forum have claimed that their celiac disease might have been triggered by their covid-19 infection: Long-Term Autoimmune Inflammatory Rheumatic Outcomes of COVID-19 https...

    Celiac.com 03/11/2024 - 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...

    It's great that they are improving, and we actually have an article coming out on this topic on the 20th, regarding this article: https://bnnbreaking.com/lifestyle/food/carnival-cruise-line-sets-sail-with-new-gluten-free-dining-options

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
