I am now 6 weeks into my AIP diet.  I tried re-introducing almonds/almond milk and a bread made with almond flour.  I seem to have another outbreak of my rash.  Bumps on my scalp and itching today - 24 hours after eating almond based foods.  Has anyone else experienced this?  

I keep looking for CC of gluten and for the life of me, I can't figure it out.  I wipe my kitchen down with Clorox wipes every day.  There's no gluten flour in my house although me husband does eat food with gluten.  It is all stored in a separate place in closed containers.  We have separate pots and pans, etc.  

It's making me crazy.

Does the almond flour say "gluten-free" on it? I ask because it's certainly possible that it could be contaminated, possibly where it was milled.

Also, we just did an article on the AIP diet, so please let us know how it works for you, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues:

Yes, the almond flour is gluten-free.  Bob's Red Mill gluten-free.

I don't buy anything that isn't labeled gluten-free.  

Thanks for the link to the AIP article.  I have been on AIP since April 19th.   I have only re-introduced coffee.  The re-introduction of almonds doesn't seem to work.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
