  1. Since most info is available online now, I don't believe that is still available.
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. I don't know of an app, but I did use an Excel spreadsheet to keep my food diary many years ago. Lupin/Lupine is a common ingredient now in some gluten-free pastas, and it is a member of the pea family, and some people are sensitive to this as well. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery,...
  5. Welcome to the forum! 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.):
  6. Was she gluten-free during the 7 years? If so, her villi would heal, and if a follow up endoscopy was done it would show no celiac disease damage--which is normal after being gluten-free, but this does not indicate that the disease has been cured, only that the damage has healed due to the treatment--a gluten-free diet. If she starts eating gluten again the...
  7. It's been a while, but as I recall there are so many ingredients in Ensure, that it would be difficult to know for sure exactly which is causing you issues. I recommend pairing down the foods you eat to whole foods for a while, so stick to vegetables, meats, nuts, fruits, cheeses, etc., and then slowly eliminate the most common allergens one at a time for...
  8. I have not verified this, but wanted to share it ASAP. This came me today via an email from Michelle Black:
  9. Can you eat mashed potatoes? They offer many nutrients beyond rice cakes.
  10. If you still have this rash, is your diet 100% gluten-free? 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.):
  11. 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, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free...
  12. 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...
  13. I hope you let the company know this, because they are definitely advertising for those with celiac disease.
  14. I think your case might be unusual, as the primary symptom for most people with DH is severe itchiness. Did you ever have a blood panel done for celiac disease, and are you on a gluten-free diet?
  15. A dermatologist would need to do the skin biopsy for DH.
  16. Is your diet 100% gluten-free? If you eat at restaurants probably not. 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.): Your doctor should also evaluate you for refractory celiac disease, as this can be a more serious condition, although it can be tied...

  18. The only way to know for sure is to get a biopsy for DH, and also a blood panel for celiac disease. 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:
  19. Strange, if you go to their website it says "Manufactured and packaged in a gluten-free and priority allergen-free facility" and the only ingredient is Coconut. https://camino.ca/products/baking-products/coconut/shredded-coconut-unsweetened/ Could you have a nut allergy/sensitivity, which is quite common.
  20. Refractory celiac disease can be a difficult to deal with. 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.):
  21. I usually use Yelp to find restaurants, but be sure to read the good and bad reviews: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Gluten+Free+Restaurants+Panama+City%2C+FL&find_loc=Fort+Lauderdale%2C+FL
  22. Please share the brand if you can, as it will serve as a warning to others.

  24. Be sure to run any new supplements or meds by your doctors first.
  25. In general both of these items, pineapple and coconut, are typically processed near the areas where they are grown, which is generally tropical areas where wheat is not grown. I suppose anything is possible, but in the USA both items would need to include an allergen warning on their label if wheat were a possible contaminant. I'm not sure how long...
