    If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful:

    It's harder to find gumbo on the West coast!

    Oats may be the culprit, as ~9% of people with celiac disease cannot tolerate oats, even "gluten-free" oats. All of the gluten-free certifications that I know of certify to below 10ppm. In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it...

    Thanks for the update, and I'm glad to hear that you are doing better now.

    I am not sure which med you mean, but if you do take it just verify that it is gluten-free. 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...

    Is it possible you are sensitive to other ingredients in these products? Since both are certified gluten-free it seems unlikely that both would contain gluten.

    Codex Alimentarius wheat starch has been around for decades, and tests under 20ppm. DiGiorno released a gluten-free pizza a few years back using it which did not go over too well, and they recently reformulated: I must admit, the taste and texture of products made with this wheat starch is superior, and this type of wheat could potentially be even better...

    Congratulations on taking it by the horns! I think your approach is best.

    If such a product ever came to market, I assume that their packaging would make it clear that the flour is gluten-free, after all they are investing millions of dollars to develop it. I would not assume that the product would be easily mistaken for regular wheat flour. Also, this product would not necessarily be suitable for all celiacs, or those with...

    I don't know much about Eosinophilic Esophagitis, but 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 my reactions were, if any. This allowed me to identify foods that caused me IBS-like symptoms, and in my case I had to eliminate chicken eggs, dairy, tomatoes...

    I would recommend that you get the endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Your other choice would be to just go gluten-free if you can stay on the diet with out a diagnosis. Since it runs in your family you have higher odds of also having it. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t y...

    I had similar symptoms that was associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition...

    It's certainly possible that you were not eating enough gluten before the tests, and it's too bad they did not do a full panel and do other blood antibody tests as well. 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 w...

    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...

    In 2002 Celiac.com ran a similar poll question where ~42% of people reported cheating regularly on their gluten-free diets, so in comparison to 22 years ago there has been a significant decrease in the number of people who report cheating on their gluten-free diets.

    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:

    In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level...

    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...

    Annatto, a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree, is generally considered gluten-free. It does not inherently contain gluten. However, as with any food product, there is a possibility of cross-contamination during processing or packaging, depending on the manufacturing practices of the specific brand or supplier. To ensure...

    Given your many symptoms which are common among those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it would make sense for you to try a gluten-free diet for 3-4 months to see if it helps.
