    Burgher, you raise a good point. My observation is that our European forum participants, who live under universal health care, consistently testify of the difficulty and the wait times of getting appointments with specialists for endoscopies. And your experience with the polyp reminds us that an endoscopy may have more value than just a means of confirming...

    Welcome, Chris! Substantial healing of the small bowel villi usually takes months and up to a couple of years. A big part of that equation is how successful you are in avoiding incidental exposure to gluten such as might be found in supplements/meds and cross contamination. Every gluten event is a setback to healing. Research any meds/supplements/vitamins...

    Welcome to the forum, Halime! We are happy to hear you have committed to eating gluten-free. I wish to encourage you to really educate yourself as to where gluten shows up in the food supply. It is not good enough to cut out major sources of gluten like bread and pasta but also you must eliminate the minor sources as well. Gluten is found in places you...

    I would suspect she is still getting some small amounts of gluten, like from cross contamination or foods labeled "gluten free" that still contain enough gluten to generate reactions in more sensitive celiacs.

    I would think that if they are rinsed thoroughly before consumption it should not be an issue. I don't think there would be an uptake metabolically speaking of the gluten.

    The Aloe Vera oil should be safe since it's "100%" aloe vera and also it's topical. Plain table salt will not be a problem. Can't see how any wheat, barley or rye cross contamination would happen with either of these products.

    It's not common but it can happen: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sinus-infections-that-dont-quit-when-you-should-worry/#:~:text=Also in rare cases%2C sinus,from sinusitis%2C” he says.

    Unless it is stated to be gluten free, probably not because of the cross contamination in growing, harvesting, transporting and milling with wheat, barley and rye.

    This pandemic might turn everything into larabars as far as tasting food goes. The thing I struggle with in regards to protein/energy bars is that many of them include a large amount of inulin to make them high fiber. Boy, does inulin give me the toots!
  11. trents
    Plastic increases the fiber content.

    I think you have to tick that box in your preferences.

    Bob's Red Mill online. Shipping might be expensive for you however since Bob's is in Oregon.

    You might want to cut out oats, at least for the time being, as about 10% of Celiacs react to oats like they do wheat, even oats that are not cross contaminated with wheat/barley/rye. Switch over to some other gluten free hot cereals such as corn grits, sorghum or buck wheat (not related to wheat). There are some delicious alternatives to oatsmeal.

    I have suffered with chronic, low grade sinus infections/inflammation much of my life. I was dx with celiac disease in my early 50s, about 18 years ago. It has been much better in the last several years but that coincided with retirement and less exposure to UR infections that was previously the case. I have permanent damage now to my sinus cavity mucosa...

    There could be a connection, at least indirectly through inflammatory processes being increased in general while back on gluten. And, as you say, you may also be allergic to wheat. With something like that its hard to say what the trigger is given the fact that the cold and flu season is upon us and the heating season as well. Are you experiencing...

    All of the symptoms and lab value irregularities you describe could be related to celiac disease. They are all well documented problems frequently accruing from or associated with celiac disease. Most or all of the things you mention may have a vitamin/mineral deficiency basis. Celiac Disease damage the villi lining the small bowel which is where essentially...

    Not all soy sauce contains wheat. La Choy brand does not. Hellodee, I assume that you clarified with Heinz that they use a soy sauce recipe that does contain wheat. My understanding is that in Asian culture there are basically two traditional formulations for soy sauce. One contains wheat and the other does not. Most of what we see in western countries...

    I would think that what you are experiencing is not abnormal at all. Even people without celiac disease commonly experience what you describe after being on antibiotics. For a long time, medical scientists have suspected that overuse of antibiotics, particularly early in life, can be a contributing factor to celiac disease because they kill off certain...

    Sorry, the B-complex at Costco is not Kirkland but Nature Made. I told you wrong.
  22. trents
    Costco carries a lot of gluten-free products, not only vitamins and supplements but food items as well. And they are clearly marked most of the time. Costco has good quality control.
  23. trents
    Kirkland (Costco store brand) multivitamin. gluten-free. Also, I would suggest taking a B Complex. Again, Kirkland has a gluten free B complex.

    SIBO?
  25. trents
    Yes, not much to conclude until you get the biopsy report.
