    This article is really about additional things in the diet which may be troublesome for those with celiac disease. These artificial sweeteners are all likely gluten-free, but for many people can cause IBS-like symptoms. They would be something to eliminate if you still have symptoms after going gluten-free to see if they are a trigger for you.

    There is some evidence to suggest a potential connection between histamine intolerance and celiac disease, although the relationship is not fully understood. Histamine intolerance occurs when there is an imbalance between histamine levels in the body and the body's ability to break down histamine. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, digestive issues...

    I think that for the vast majority of those with celiac disease washing your hands after touching bread should be enough to keep you safe. There are some who are super sensitive that may disagree, but if you do have concerns go with @trents's suggestion and use gloves.

    I also had a time after my diagnosis when I could not eat chicken eggs for a few years, but was able to eat fresh duck eggs during that time. I was able to find fresh duck eggs at farmer's markets and/or Asian markets.

    A company like Kraft, or any food manufacturer, needs to include wheat in an ingredient label if there is any chance of contamination during manufacturing for several important reasons: Allergen Awareness: Wheat is one of the top allergens, and even small amounts of wheat can trigger severe allergic reactions in individuals with wheat allergies or...

    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...

    We've written articles about the differences between Canadian and USA, European, etc. laws, which are the likely cause of their change in Canada, but not the USA--here they still say gluten-free on their website as I've mentioned. I doubt a single thing has changed with the product, but lawyers likely have pushed the change due to the differences in Canadian...

    I'd recommend that your son try a 100% gluten-free diet to see if his symptoms go away, then you will know the cause. 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've not had them before, but is it possible that you have a sensitivity to soy or milk/dairy, as they are listed as ingredients? It's not impossible that they somehow had an issue with a batch. Have you contacted them about your issue?

    Here in the USA I've had Classico sauces many times with no issues, and their own web site still claims they are gluten-free and do not contain gluten ingredients. It's up to you whether or not you want to include them in your diet, but there is a big difference between the statement that they cannot guarantee that they are gluten-free, and your statement...

    It's very unfortunate to hear that your parents did not, and still do not, take celiac disease seriously. Have they ever Googled information about the disease? I doubt they will find a single source that says it should not be taken seriously, or that people with it should not go gluten-free.

    More information about "Insights from Celiac.com's Latest Poll #2: 18% of People with Celiac Disease Cheat on their Gluten-Free Diets"
    Celiac.com 02/24/2024 - A recent poll conducted by Celiac.com shed light on various aspects of celiac disease knowledge and experiences among respondents. However, one finding stands out starkly: 18% of respondents admitted to cheating...

    This list is very old and now archived, but we used to try to keep such a listing. If you post what state/city you are in others here may have recommendations:

    This article might be helpful and covers the main blood tests for celiac disease, and IgE is not one of them.

    I'm not sure what your Marsh scores were for your villi damage, however, healing your villi/gut damage can take time, and for some people it takes at least a year. 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...

    If you're certain that your diet has been 100% gluten-free, and the only thing that changed after your last test is your recent bout with Covid-19, it seems possible that it could be related, but I've not seen specific research that indicates a connection between covid-19 causing elevated antibody levels. For some people there are other conditions...

    You are correct, a stomach biopsy would not diagnose celiac disease. Did you ever have an endoscopy done or a celiac disease blood panel? You may want to try eating 2 prunes after each meal, and if this aggravates your issue switch to prune juice.

    No, lactose-free and dairy-free are not the same. Here's the difference: Lactose-Free: Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. Lactose-free products are those that have had the lactose removed or broken down into simpler sugars, typically through the addition of the enzyme lactase. People who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme...

    Good advice, as the most common source of contamination would be eating outside your home, especially at restaurants (even if they have items marked GF or a GF menu).

    I believe a typical thyroid panel would reveal possible thyroid issues, but any autoimmune thyroid disorder may cause elevated tTg in some people (for example Hashimoto's disease is an example). The other thing to consider would be going casein/dairy-free for a few months and have your tTg levels rechecked, as this is also a possible trigger of high tTg in...

    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.). Be sure that no gluten is in your diet, meds, supplements, etc. For some people there are other conditions that can cause elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA). This article discusses...

    Did the also do a test for your tTg-IgA level? This is the standard test for celiac disease. 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...

    Are you gluten-free, and if so, did it help with your lymphocytic colitis?
