    Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

    Yes, you can also tell by the tag in the upper left hand corner that says, "Altered or synthetic content".

    "Risk free genetically"? Very low risk, actually. But, we are still learning about the genetics of celiac disease. Speaking of milk, some studies show that CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) can damage the small bowel villi like celiac disease does. Also, some meds (NSAIDS, Olmesartan - a blood pressure med) and some infections can also blunt SB villi.

    @Aretaeus Cappadocia! The post you were looking for about omeprazol acting as an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant was made (yesterday, I believe) by knitty kitty. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat flour...

    Often, biopsies are not done unless there are positive blood antibody results. Biopsies are often a "reflexive" medical order, meaning they are prompted by positive results from other kinds of testing. @LC9, low gluten consumption can sabotage celiac blood antibody testing, as can, as I have already mentioned, being IGA deficient. In either case, it...

    Welcome to the celiac.com community, @LC9! I take it from the way you spell "coeliac" that you are in the UK. One question to begin with. Had you reduced your gluten intake before the specific tests for celiac disease were run?k A second question. Can you provide us with the names of the celiac specific tests that were done? There is a certain...

    @ddk37, you've pretty well summed it up. It's important to understand the labeling subtleties and the choices made with regard to them may be different for those who are supersensitive celiacs vs. those who are not. So, the more detailed information that some manufacturers include on their labels helps us make better decisions.

    I have seen this shift to a more "cautious" approach about gluten-free claims in the restaurant sector. Menus that used to advertise certain offerings as "gluten-free" now use the term "low gluten" or "gluten sensitive friendly" or something similar, signaling that though the intentional ingredients are gluten-free, some gluten may be introduced in the preparation...

    Thanks for the follow-up report. What you discovered about your multivitamin might be helpful to someone else. I hope you can find a substitute that does not contain iodine.

    Welcome, @Brandy.gluten-free to the celiac.com community! Please check your first post for a typo. Did you mean to type "elasticity" instead of "electricity"? What about plastic surgery for the turkey neck? Yes, I know, kind of expensive and may not be covered by insurance.

    Keep in mind that testing for celiac disease is invalidated once you have been eating gluten free or even nearly so. So, unless you were to reintroduce gluten (a "gluten challenge") it would not be possible to get valid test results. Skin biopsies during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis is one of the testing methods for celiac disease but not...

    Welcome to the celiac.com community, @BelleDeJour! You might try a low iodine diet as iodine can exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You will need to consider how this might affect your thyroid condition, however. Exactly what is the nature of your thyroid disease? Hypo? Hyper?
  24. trents
    Yes, it does. And joint pain is another celiac symptom that is now well-recognized.
  25. trents
    Being as how you are largely asymptomatic, I would certainly advise undertaking a gluten challenge in order to get formal testing for celiac disease. We have many forum participants who become violently ill when they undertake a gluten challenge and they therefore can't carry through with it. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. The reason I think it...

    Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ThomasA55! Before I give my opinion on your question about whether or not you should undergo a gluten challenge, I would like to know how you react when you get a good dose of gluten? Are you largely asymptomatic or do you experience significant illness such as nausea and diarrhea? You mentioned intermittent joint...
