Celiac.com - Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Support Since 1995

  1. I have given some examples showing where I got my information from. As opinion is divided as to whether or not it is an issue I was simply suggesting it as something to consider. I think when it comes to nutrition - as we are learning more and more all the time and NO ONE has all the answers - it would be nice if people can keep open minded and at the very...
  2. It's obviously easier to be diagnosed celiac if you are eating gluten but if you've already stopped, the best bet is a genetic test. If that test comes back negative then you know you can't have celiac disease (though you might still have an intolerance or allergy.) If it comes back with a result indicating you have at least one of the genes you MAY get...
  3. Hope you feel better soon. The elimination diet is a good idea. My boyfriend has not only celiac disease but multiple food allergies so it can be a challenge.
  4. Nice to see everyone being open to different ideas. I didn't say I was definitely correct just that it was a possible explanation. I know people with severe food reactions in addition to celiac disease. There is adequate support for cross reactivity - both for and against. I believe when it comes to food allergies and celiac disease that it is better...
  5. Not a problem. I have read that from some sources and I have read the opposite from others - from celiac disease researchers and Doctors. I am not saying I know 100% that my view is correct, however from my reading I think it can be an issue for some. The original link I gave was written by a Doctor, however here is another example (see below). What...
  6. Most of us do not have this issue but some of the super sensitive do. I imagine it is not common (certainly I've not had the issue) but I know people who have had this issue. I am putting the idea out there as an option as people have different symptoms and what most people can handle, some cannot. Whilst I am no expert or Doctor, I am studying grad level...
  7. I agree with the previous poster.. cross contamination could definitely be an issue. Another possible issue could be cross reactivity. This is the concept that some people who are extremely sensitive to gluten will have a reaction from eating foods which do not contain any gluten (such as cheese or chocolate) simply because they contain a protein which...
  8. I agree with the other posters to get tested for celiac disease before going gluten free. I have celiac disease... my sister was told she has IBS however often this is a misdiagnosis. Luckily my sister is so far celiac disease free, however as the symptoms can be confused it is worth checking. She does find that cutting way down on gluten (especially wheat...
