  1. Today
  2. I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.
  3. A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.
  4. Yesterday
  5. Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me. Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.
  6. I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.
  7. I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll...
  8. Celiac.com 01/01/2025 - For individuals with celiac disease, staying gluten-free isn't just a preference or a health trend—it's a medical necessity. However, a recent poll by Celiac.com revealed a concerning statistic: over 20% of celiacs a...
  9. Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle. Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency. Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and body due to the disruption...
  10. Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal. I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D. Finally relief! I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.
  11. Do you eat processed gluten free foods?
  12. You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.
  13. It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products witho...
  14. Your daughter's results, along with her symptoms and family history, certainly suggest further investigation for celiac disease is warranted. The low total IgA can explain why some IgA-based tests, like tTG-IgA, are negative, as there's simply not enough IgA in her system for reliable results. The weak positive tTG-IgG is notable, especially with her symptoms...
  15. Last week
  16. Thank you for sharing your story—it really highlights the lifelong challenges of living with celiac disease, especially during a time when gluten-free options were nearly nonexistent. It’s heartbreaking to hear about your mother’s struggles and the severe health complications she faced, and I completely agree that more research is needed into the long-term ...
  17. Welcome to the forum. Scallop medallions should be gluten-free, even if they used meat glue (transglutaminase) to make them, and not everyone who has celiac disease will react to meat glue, but some might. The likelihood of scallops containing transglutaminase is relatively low, as fresh or frozen scallops are typically sold without additives. However...
  18. Regarding #1, you'll need to determine this yourself, as there aren't tests to determine this. I had issues with casein/milk during my recovery period, and had to avoid this for 2-3 years after my diagnosis. It can be a temporary intolerance for many celiacs that may go away after your villi recover. There is research that I shared which indicates that...
  19. Hi all fellow coeliacs. I was diagnosed with coeliac as a young child. I am now 62. My mother had coeliac my sister has coeliac and my brother also. My mother went through a lot of struggles due to coeliac being there was not much understanding for her as a child and adult there were no gluten-free foods except meat and veg and a hard rusk...
  20. I'm wondering if anyone has used Scallop medalions when doing bacon wrapped scallop medalions. I have the gluten free bacon but not sure about the medalions. Some use a binding product Transglutamas but it's hard to find which ones do or don't and info varies as to it's effect on celiac sensitive people. Any input out there? Overview
  21. I'd like to suggest nuts.com. They have a gluten-free section. I've never had an issue and their nuts are super fresh tasting. I eat them every day as afternoon snack. They label the packages as gluten-free, and more and more as Certified gluten-free. Here's their statement on gluten free: Gluten-Free The FDA is the only regulatory agency...
  22. My D was always low. It got better with gluten free diet, but was always below range or barely in range. I tried increasing D vitamins, found that K2 helps absorption of D. It improved a bit, yet remained on low end of ok range. After covid and bad flu years, i really wanted to get my D way up. We live in the Pacific Northwest, do lots outside 3/4 of...
  23. Celiac.com 12/31/2024 - Ajiaco is a beloved Colombian soup, often regarded as a national treasure. Originating in the Andean region, especially around Bogotá, this hearty dish is made with chicken, a variety of potatoes, corn, and an ...
  24. Hi Knitty! Thanks for the reply! I can do squat but with alot of trouble and power. I will take all You advices in consideration and explore them further.... I am really lost in all of this...i mean villious atrophy can create soy, gluten, milk, casein....i mean what is left to eat? So when i had first EGD histology was MArsh 3b. After 1y on gluten...
  25. Hello! I would appreciate help understanding my 17 year old daughter’s celiac panel. Symptoms are general stomach discomfort, daily headaches (for years), fatigue. My husband is in process of being diagnosed as well. test results: Demidiated Gliadin Abs, IgA - negative Demediated Gliadin Abs, IgG - negative tTG IGA - negative ...
  26. Just the blood tests originally, which lead to the biopsy. The original blood tests and what they provided are lost, though I don't recall any hard evidence that it was related to celiac. They found a few polyps, but couldn't link them to celiac or gluten-intolerance. I have been under my own and my doctor's assumptions this whole time.
  27. Did you have any celiac antibody blood tests? Or just the gastroscopy/biopsy?
  28. No mask Do not eat out My vitamins are gluten free
