    Oryzenin is a protein derived from rice. Rice itself is naturally gluten-free, which means that oryzenin, being derived from rice, is also gluten-free. This makes oryzenin a suitable protein source for individuals who need to adhere to a gluten-free diet due to conditions such as celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Zein is a protein derived from corn...

    The general "best practice" would be to treat gluten like you would rat poison, even if you have no symptoms if you get contamination. The autoimmune process that triggers inflammation in your gut, skin, or nerves is likely still happening, even though there may be no obvious symptoms. The analogy of diabetics who still consume sugar and use more insulin...

    This article may be helpful, but in the end you might need to eliminate all grains to be healthy.

    It looks like you have 2 positive tests for celiac disease, your Transglutaminase IgA is over 5x the cut off for celiac disease (some doctors may diagnose you just by this and the fact that it runs in your family), and your Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG is ~2x above the level. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what...

    For some people there are other conditions that can cause elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA). This article discusses them:

    If your levels have not gone down at all in a year, it's possible that your diet is not 100% gluten-free. Do you eat outside your home, for example in restaurants? If so, this is a common source of 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...

    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...

    It sounds good and nutritious! Thanks for sharing a great snack idea. I make mini-pizzas in a frying pan using GF corn tortillas, as well as quesadillas, enchiladas, etc. Corn tortillas a versatile and high in fiber.

    Thanks for sharing this and it's always great to hear about someone with celiac disease who has safe travels. I'm glad to hear that at least the hotels understand what it means to be gluten-free, and can cater to us!

    For most celiacs it takes 6 months or more to see a big decline in tTg levels, but some people take longer. 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 with a gluten-free diet However...

    Alcohol sweeteners are usually gluten-free, but they are a very common cause of IBS-like symptoms in many people. We have an article on this topic that will be published on Celiac.com this Saturday.

    We have 2 categories where we've summarized articles that related to mental health issues that are related to celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/schizophrenia-mental-problems-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders...

    I agree, and while there is a small minority of people with celiac disease who only recover after excluding all grains, most people with celiac disease can include corn, sorghum, quinoa, rice, millet, etc, without issues.

    Celiac disease can trigger similar symptoms, and I also had symptoms similar to what you described that led to panic attacks and trips to the emergency room, but be sure to talk to your doctor about your symptoms, as they could also be unrelated to celiac disease, and caused by another condition.

    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:

    If your doctor is screening you for celiac disease then they've given you bad information. You need to be eating gluten, a lot of it, daily for 6-8 weeks before any antibody blood testing can be done. 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...

    I'm not sure about Vicks, but this article has some options:

    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...

    Yes, and the cost savings for doing this there can be substantial, and the dentists are often trained in the USA.

    As of my last update in January 2022, Medicare typically does not cover dental procedures such as tooth implants. Medicare Part A may cover certain dental services that are necessary for the treatment of a medical condition, such as jaw reconstruction after an injury or certain dental procedures performed in a hospital setting. However, routine dental care...

    More studies have been done on AN-PEP enzymes than any others for breaking down gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. GliadinX, a sponsor here, is an example, you can read the studies here: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications Note that they are only recommended for small amounts of accidental gluten ingestion, as you might...

    Cow's milk is naturally gluten-free, even if the cows are fed gluten containing grains.

    Since most info is available online now, I don't believe that is still available.

    More information about "Exploring Other Causes of Villous Atrophy Beyond Celiac Disease"
    Celiac.com 02/10/2024 - Villous atrophy, a condition marked by the blunting or flattening of the microscopic structures called villi in the small intestine, is most commonly associated with celiac disease. However, emerging research and...

    Eating a restaurants is a common source of contamination. In this case it's possible that the tortillas were made in a shared facility and may have had some level of wheat contamination, or perhaps when they heated them up on the grill or cooked other things you ate there your food was contaminated. I take GliadinX (a sponsor here) whenever I eat outside...
