Dear celiac.com followers,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Louise, and I am reaching out to you as a fellow member of the gluten-free community. Like many of you, I understand the challenges and triumphs that come with adopting a gluten-free lifestyle.

I am currently conducting market research for my academic studies which is aimed at enhancing the gluten-free experience for individuals living with coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity. Your insights, based on your own experiences, would be immensely valuable to me.

I am particularly interested in understanding the importance of high-quality gluten-free products in your day-to-day life. As someone who has been following a gluten free diet for the past 10 years, I recognise the struggles and hardships we often encounter. Your perspective could provide valuable insights into the preferences and needs of our community.

If you have a few moments to spare, I would greatly appreciate it if you could broadly share your thoughts on the following:

How has your experience been living with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Do you find it challenging to access high-quality gluten-free products that meet your dietary needs?

In your opinion, how important is the quality of gluten-free products in maintaining a healthy and enjoyable gluten-free lifestyle?

What are your thoughts on the idea of a unique quality ranking score for gluten-free products? How valuable do you think this would be in guiding your product choices?

A unique quality ranking system simplifies gluten-free product evaluation, providing clear and comparable information. It can help you make informed decisions, streamline product comparisons, and find assurance in product quality. The system's personalisation allows you to prioritise criteria that align with your needs. In essence, it's a concise guide to help you make optimal gluten-free choices.

I understand the value of your time, and any insights you can provide will be treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality. Your input will directly contribute to shaping a project that aims to improve the gluten-free journey for all of us. 

Thank you in advance for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your contribution to this research.

Best regards,

Louise

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten consumption is discontinued, these processes cease. Antibodies begin to disappear from the blood and the villi begins to rebuild. Many people begin to experiment with the gluten free diet before they seek testing and their doctors often neglect to check for this before ordering blood tests and biopsies.  If you want to be sure that you don't have celiac disease, you would need to endure a "gluten challenge" for a period of weeks. This would consist of resuming gluten consumption in the amount of at least 10g daily (the equivalent of about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and then get retested or re-biopsied. But regardless of whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same: total abstinence from gluten for life.

      I can’t remember if I had started the gluten free diet or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Bridget connors! When you had the blood antibody testing done and the biopsy, had you already been restricting your gluten intake for a significant period of time, say weeks or months at least?

      Hi my name is Bridget I was newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity but I have a very severe reaction to gluten and was wondering if anyone else has this and was told they didn’t have celiac. My brother and his son have it and I think I do as well. I have horrible burning lips that started three years ago that turned into cracks sometimes in the corners of my lips and my lips swell and turn bright red all around the edge and burn and tingle. Then I started get sores on my tongue and inside of my lips. When there’s a bad flare of if I eat any sugar or citrus it’s like I’m burning my mouth and more sores appear. I had chronic diarrhea to the point of incontience sometimes and stomach pains nausea. Migraines then came horrible leg and hand feet cramping. Then joint pain. Sleeping problems vomiting and more recently very foul smelling gas. So I stopped eating all gluten and every symptom has gone away. If I accidentally eat gluten it comes back with a vengeance and more symptoms appear each time!!! It’s crazy it’s like the gluten is poisoning my body. This last exposer my ear was killing me and the lymph node behind my ear and my throat and a big canker on the side of my tongue. Anybody with any thoughts?? I’ve had biopsies and blood tests everything comes back normal I don’t get it.
