    Scott Adams's post in Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure was marked as the answer   
    It's worth reading the many studies done on AN-PEP enzymes, which are used in GliadinX, and all are posted on their website. The best policy for celiacs is to avoid eating out, but if you're like me, that is a bridge too far--I enjoy...

    Scott Adams's post in What would a diagnosis tell me? was marked as the answer   
    Everyone with celiac disease needs to make their own lifestyle choices--in my case I continue to eat out at restaurants and travel--while some people with celiac disease try to avoid doing either. Of course the safest way to go would...

    Scott Adams's post in Glutenease Mary Ruth Gluten Digestive enzyme? Are these just a waste of money? was marked as the answer   
    The FDA doesn't regulate nutraceuticals like this. The AN-PEP enzyme has been used for decades in commercial beer brewing as a clarifying agent, and is no longer patentable, thus no pharmaceutical companies are interested in it specifically...

    Scott Adams's post in Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis was marked as the answer   
    I think it couldn't hurt for you to be sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free with zero cross-contamination for a couple of months to see if that helps. If you're eating out you're likely getting some level of gluten in your diet. It...

    Scott Adams's post in Confused about test results was marked as the answer   
    It's understandable to be concerned about the unit change between your child's test results. TTG-IgA can be reported in different units (U/mL or kIU/L), and some labs use a conversion where 1 U/mL equals approximately 1 kIU/L. However...

    Scott Adams's post in Catholic Mass for Celiacs was marked as the answer   
    This should be a safe level for you once per week, but if you are super sensitive, or have DH, you may want to only partake in the wine (you may also want to ask if you can drink from a separate chalice). You may also find this article...
