Hi everyone!

Does anyone know of a gluten-free scanner app for I Phones that checks household products as well as food?

I believe there are apps on the market that can do this, however, I strongly encourage you to learn to read labels because info in such apps is often outdated, as ingredients can change without notice.

The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping.

It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Yeah, hard for me to not eat salmon though it does cause varying degrees of irritation to the rash. Alright, guess I’m gonna have to be careful with iodine. Thanks for the article.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Parkrunner · Posted

      I probably had celiac for 40 years, late 20s to late 60s, before being diagnosed.  I was a runner and had mild intestinal symptoms most of the time.  There was a couple of months in my late 40s where I had significant diarrhea every day for 6 weeks.  Saw two PCPs about it and celiac wasn't on their radar.  In my 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s I had insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, muscle cramps, muscle twitching, and cardiac arrhythmia.  It took osteoporosis and fractured vertebrae before I got diagnosed.  Long term undiagnosed celiac will lead to osteoporosis. Once you go gluten-free, symptoms should away eventually.  But you may have other food intolerances.  I happen to be lactose intolerant...

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      Previous Biopsy Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your situation is incredibly frustrating and emotionally draining, especially with the conflicting biopsy results, unclear diagnosis, and the added stress of personal losses. Given your DQ2.5 homozygous status, family history of celiac, and past biopsy findings (damaged villi, ulcers, lymphangiectasia), the evidence strongly suggests celiac disease—despite the initial doctor’s dismissal. The nurse practitioner’s call likely reflected the biopsy’s concerning details, even if not formally labeled "celiac." Your severe reactions to gluten, including weight loss, nausea, and bloating, further support this. The gluten challenge is notoriously difficult, especially for sensitive individuals, and your physical and...
