What is better for celiacs? I know advil causes stomach issues but am not sure if it makes a difference.

I think it depends on what issue you are using for, what other conditions you may have, and what medications you are taking.

I was told by a doctor that any NSAID like Advil may cause stomache issues.

I usually just use advil for headaches. But I get headaches all the time so I don't know how good it is for me.

Both medications can have some serious side effects if not used properly or depending on your general health.   Acetaminophen can damage the liver an NSAID can damage your small intestine, like gluten can, if used in excess.    Look to your diet for possible triggers and those might not just be gluten.

      Oats gluten free?

      Have you had a DNA test to look for the most commonly occurring Celiac genes?   There's some scientific evidence that Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a precursor to Celiac Disease in genetically predisposed people. Which foods do you react to?  How do you react?

      You are right, I just feel I may have not been on top of it and Ive caused damage for years without knowing. Seems like nothing though?

      No, one crumb from a month before the blood test would not materially affect the results of the test. I sense you are devoting a lot more "worry energy" to this than it deserves. That will do you more harm than a tick over normal on the TTG-IGA score.

      Sometimes I have a bit of stomach, discomfort, anxiety, tiredness, and soreness but nothing that stops by normal day to day activities. I work a ton and am very active so likely it is related to that and not my celiac but unsure with everyone's symptoms and stories I see online.  I will definitely start doing this every year from now on. Could one crumb of gluten from a month before that blood test caused that spike ? I am trying to really trace back and think
