    Yousasf, one of the classic signs of celiac disease is a skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis, or DH for short.
  2. trents
    Yes, but I wasn't sure if you were referring to the pill form or the oral rinse form of nystatin.

    "does Lactose free cheese have Casein?" Lactose is the sugar component in dairy. Casein is the largest protein fraction in dairy. Removing the lactose does not affect the protein. Just for the sake of clarity, celiacs can be lactose intolerant but what I am saying is don't assume that is the issue. It could also be casein intolerance. If you use...

    Casein is the primary protein in dairy so I'm not sure what you are saying here. Whey is another protein found in dairy but seems not to cause problems like casein does for some people.

    Whoops, typo. Let me correct it: "The studies that I referred to above also concluded that most of the subjects who claimed to be gluten free but were not were still dining out. Eateries appear to be the biggest threat to otherwise conscientious celiacs.

    It usually isn't the lactose that's the issue with dairy for celiacs. It's the protein casein found in dairy products. For some people, it can cause villi blunting like gluten does. Digestive enzymes are generally not helpful for celiacs. A good substitute for oats is buckwheat. Highly nutritious and delicious, IMO. Buckwheat is related to rhubarb and is...

    Have you tried the nystatin mouth rinse for the oral thrush?

    Welcome to the forum, Ailish! Some of our forum members have reported "gluten withdrawal" symptoms when first quitting gluten. Also, it can take quite a while to catch on to the many places gluten can be found, not only in the food supply but in medications and supplements. Recent studies have shown that most people who believe they are eating gluten...

    Have you tried pro biotics? I suspect your gut biome mix is out of balance, allowing yeast/fungi to systemically be out of control. If you don't mind my asking, what meds are you regularly on? Could something you are taking be dinging your gut biome? How are your blood sugars?
  11. trents
    Yes.

    A number of autoimmune diseases are associated with celiac disease. It is very common for celiacs to develop other autoimmune conditions over time.

    What antibodies are you talking about as having spiked? Celiac antibodies or COVID? This is not clear to me from your post.

    You may also have non celiac gluten sensitivity. Symptoms are a lot the same but there is currently no test for it so first you rule out celiac disease. The rememdy is also the same, namely, abstinence from glute for a lifetime.

    It also makes me wonder if when a biopsy sample is sent to a lab for analysis of potential celiac disease, whos tissue is being evaluated? Yours or the person who was scoped before you?

    "Dapsone is a small molecule with anti-inflammatory immunosuppressive properties as well as antibacterial and antibiotic properties. It is used clinically to treat leprosy and malaria, and is being investigated for the treatment of a variety of skin infections."

    I have not heard of this particular symptom before in the celiac community. But I wonder if you are experiencing an allergic reaction to gluten or wheat as opposed to a celiac reaction.

    There is a 44% chance that a first degree relative of someone with celiac disease will develop celiac disease. If you had some triggering stress event such as a viral infection, you could still develop celiac disease yourself. With both genes the guns are loaded.
  19. trents
    Extremely likely. That Ttg-IGA is quite high and that test is considered to be the centerpiece of antibody testing for celiac disease.

    All foods contain histamines but some are naturally high in histamines like bananas and avocados and many fruits. Aged, pickled and dried things are especially high in histamines as are canned foods. All foods increase in histamine levels over time when stored as in canned or preserved. There are also over the counter DAO supplements that purport to help...

    Carrying a supply of gluten free protein/energy bars can also help bridge the meal gap when gluten free eat out options are not available. And let me comment on what AlwaysLearning said: "A lot of it really depends on just how gluten free you intend to be. For me, being 100% gluten free means not eating out at all, unless the entire restaurant is gluten...

    I can't find them on Medline.

    The gold standard of distinguishing between celiac disease and NCGS is to have an endoscopy/biopsy done of the small bowel lining. NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test at the present time to directly diagnose NCGS. Yes, you need to be on a strict gluten-free diet the rest of your life if you want to keep...

    With great difficulty and inconsistency. Eating out is by far the greatest threat to eating truly gluten free.
  25. trents
    Nothing in those lab results suggests you have celiac disease. Even your iron markers and B12 are all just fine. These are things you would likely be deficient in if you had celiac disease. But you could have non celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) for which there is no test at the present time. NCGS produces a lot of the same symptoms but does not damage the...
