    There are plenty of gluten-free carbs you can eat, so that should not be an issue. Corn, potatoes, and everything on this list is safe:

    Welcome the forum. In order to screen for celiac disease you would need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it (usually they recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily) for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first...

    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:

    Given that you had a positive blood test for celiac disease, if you also have villous atrophy the likely culprit would definitely be celiac disease, and not SIBO. Villous atrophy is a hallmark of celiac disease, but it can also be caused by SIBO and other conditions. Proper diagnosis often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists...

    Feel free to share your test results here, along with the reference ranges for the tests, and I think you need to delay this test and do a proper gluten challenge. 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...

    I agree, but am not willing to stop travelling do to celiac disease--or eating at restaurants. I realize some people do make choices not to do those things, but for me those things are just too important. We have a section on gluten-free travel: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

    High levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the blood can have various causes, including liver or bone issues, and are not directly related to celiac disease or Thiamine (vitamin B1) supplementation. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have existing medical conditions...

    You would need to contact the NCA about this.

    In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive...

    Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed. 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:

    You can always do the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

    It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity...

    There is a product call Quinoa Flakes that might be a good substitute for oats.

    I would assume that he used gluten-free beer, otherwise he could not win the gluten-free category of this contest.

    How much gluten daily were you eating before your blood panel was taken? 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:

    It's certainly possible, but since it just turned spring it could also be something that is blooming now that you are allergic to. Perhaps new plants around the new houses?

    Napoleon Bonaparte's itch was reported to have affected various parts of his body, including his hands, legs, and body in general. However, specific details about the exact location or severity of the itch are not extensively documented in historical records. It's often mentioned in broader terms, such as "Napoleon suffered from an itch," without specifying...

    Many people with celiac disease don't have symptoms, so your doctor is correct to make this diagnosis based on your results. Did they refer you to get an endoscopy to confirm this? If so, you need to continue eating gluten until all tests are completed, otherwise you might get false-negative results. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

    I've never been there, but this may be helpful. Here's a concise gluten-free restaurant card in Korean along with its English translation: ---Korean: English Translation: This card should help convey your dietary needs clearly in Korean and English when dining at gluten-free restaurants or explaining your requirements to restaurant...

    The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

    Is there any chance you have mold or mildew somewhere in your home? I've heard some horror stories about people who get major allergy and other health issues, and then discover black mold in their home.

    Good point, as I don't believe that sugar is good for anyone, and I avoid it. Eating too much can lead to imbalances in the gut microbiome which can lead to IBS-like symptoms.

    Feel free to share your blood test results here, and if you do include the reference ranges, because sometimes negative results aren't so negative (borderline readings are often just called "negative" by doctors, but elevated antibodies still must be explained). Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease...
