    This brand claims to be certified gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Yupik-Organic-Green-Lentils-Pound/dp/B07TYZK19F/

    Agreed, you need to be eating gluten before any tests for celiac disease, with the exception of genetic tests. 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:

    I typically pack a couple of gluten-free sandwiches and energy bars in my carry on backpack when I travel abroad, and have never had issues going through airport security in Europe or the USA (you would go through customs after you arrive, not before the flight). I typically fly on a USA airline, but have flown on AVA and Lufthansa without any issues. I think...

    Interesting, I've never heard of Magnesium L-Threonate.

    Let us know how it goes.

    You are showing a screen shot here of 3 meds, which one are you curious about? It's best to go to the website for the product to find out if it is gluten-free or not.

    Only the company can tell you if their product is gluten-free. If you contacted them and they said it's gluten-free, then it should be gluten-free. A quick look at their website shows no gluten ingredients: https://www.beanogas.com/anti-gas-pills/beano-tablets

    Actually I don't understand YOUR reply here. Feel free to explain, as @patty-maguire has posted a very helpful response here that seems to exactly answer your original post.

    Hopefully she was eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread's worth of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before the blood tests, otherwise they cold produce false negative results, or weak positive instead of strong positive. Also, children should have this blood test done: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide). This article might be helpful...

    It seems very strange to me that your doctor keeps brining up HIV when you've tested negative for it--I've never heard of this before--time to get a new doctor! You've had a positive blood test for celiac disease, so your doctor should now be looking in the direction of repeating this test (to do so you need to be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks beforehand...

    If you have additional food sensitivities along with celiac disease finding safe foods to eat can seem like a very daunting task. During the discovery and healing stage many people keep a food diary, and try to keep the foods they eat very basic, which can be boring, but making simple things like rice, potatoes, vegetables, chicken, fish, etc. until...

    Can I ask what the reference range is for the tTg test he took? Different companies have different ranges, so it's hard to know where he falls just with his current measurement. Also, what was his initial tTg result at the time of his diagnosis--did it go down at all? It's very important that his diet is 100% gluten-free, and even tiny amounts of gluten...

    Agreed, celiac disease, like diabetes, is a lifelong condition:

    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...

    ANSWERS: Q: Is celiac disease the same as an allergy to wheat? A: NO Q: Can adults and older people get celiac disease, or does the disease only affect children? A: Celiac disease can affect those who are genetically susceptible, including children, adults and older people. Q: Can someone with celiac disease grow out of the disease...

    Due to the climate in Viet Nam, they do not produce wheat or wheat products there, so contamination of this product is highly unlikely.

    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: FYI: Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your s...

    Can you me more specific? We're all just trying to help others here...

    It's great that you've been keeping a food diary, and this will be very helpful for you to identify foods that cause your issues. Many people who are gluten sensitivity also have additional food sensitivities.
