    The presence of the HLA-DQA1*05 allele, also known as DQ2.5, is associated with an increased risk of developing celiac disease. However, it's important to note that having the allele does not guarantee the development of the disease. This article has some info:

    It certainly possible that gluten could be used in the glues used to make puzzles, but in most cases this should not be an issue for most people with celiac disease, as you're not eating the pieces. It's also possible that very sensitive people might have an issue, especially those with an allergy. Normally washing your hands after doing the puzzle should...

    The key to a faster recovery is a 100% gluten-free diet, but recovery can still take some time, depending on how bad your villi damage is. 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...

    I agree with @knitty kitty and there should be no need for you to do Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide "therapy" to recover. Just be sure your diet and anything else you consume is 100% gluten-free, and realize that the healing process can take a while. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to...

    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...

    Some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

    You say that a canned fruit made you sick, but is that all you ate that day? Could you have gotten contamination somewhere else, or could you have just gotten a normal stomach bug that day? Were there other ingredients in the canned fruit, for example corn syrup?

    What is Titanium 3?

    Did you quit taking Imodium and it helped end your diarrhea, or did you quit all meds? Also, did you check all of your meds to be sure they are 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...

    When I travel I typically search Yelp and be sure to read the review, both good and bad: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Gluten+Free+Restaurants&find_loc=Fort+Lauderdale%2C+FL

    After your gut heals on a gluten-free diet those with celiac disease can go into remission and not have obvious symptoms if they get gluten in their diets, while others may have even more severe symptoms. Both the healing and damage process to your villi caused by gluten can be slow, but if you continue to get regular doses of gluten the damage would very...

    Interesting stuff. It appears that Covid-19 infection can also trigger both as well. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8318549/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9340059/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9111648/ This study focuses on the importance of being up to date on your shingles vaccine: https...

    So you still have panic attacks after going gluten-free? How long ago were you diagnosed?

    Can you post a link? I've not heard of any "reactivation" of those viruses caused by covid vaccines.

    Do you work in a bakery? We've had many others who've had issues because they worked in a bakery, supermarket with a bakery inside, etc.

    I didn't get diagnosed until I was in my mid-20's, but had severe symptoms for a few years leading up to that point. After I got diagnosed and went gluten-free, some long-term health issues seemed to also go away, and I had those issues long before my severe symptoms kicked in. For example chronic nasal congestion, strange rashes, blepharitis, and panic...

    In your first post you mentioned that his positive tTg-IgA blood test result was followed up with a positive biopsy result--so you have two positive tests that are both the gold standards of diagnosing celiac disease--he most likely has celiac disease and should be 100% gluten-free. In your first post you also mention that you "have been pretty strict...

    Here is some more reading on brain fog and celiac disease in case you are interested: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q="brain fog"&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy
  23. Scott Adams
    It's doubtful that his original test results were incorrect, and younger people recover more quickly, so once gluten has been eliminated his villi should heal, and the tTg-IgA antibodies should decrease, if his diet has been 100% gluten-free. It sounds like you're doing a good job with his diet, so keep up the good work.

    Sorry, but we don't publicize the time limit.

    Taking steroids for other autoimmune conditions can potentially impact celiac disease blood antibody tests and endoscopy results. Steroids, particularly systemic corticosteroids, are known for their immunosuppressive effects. They can suppress the immune system's response, including the antibody production that is typically measured in celiac disease blood...
