This PEP sounds promising, perhaps too good to be true? Well I hope not.

Google turns up little else on this topic and it does not appear to be available for purchase anywhere. Please let me know how it might be gettable if it is, or if anyone thinks it's mularkey I also appreciate that input.

Hmmmm

That article is from 2006.

I can't find anything newer either, except a 2007 article referencing the 2006 research.

Stanford U was(/is?) working on it some - perhaps looking into some human trials, but who knows when there's nothing to be found.

Yeah it's disappointing there seems to be nothing new on it since 2006. I'll try to search some medical journals and see if anything pops up.

I expect the Dutch to come through on this one, as it was a Dutchman who first connected the disease to wheat flour in the diet.

Here is an updated link to the clinical trials:

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
