She does call it an allergy and say it can be diagnosed with a blood test, which could be slightly misleading, but anyone who's heard about it for the first time can go and get the info they need.

I saw it this morning and took note of the use of the word "allergy", but happy to see it mentioned. I also went to the store today and noticed a freezer full of new gluten free products....what's happening in the world??? :rolleyes:

Well, I know "allergy" is not correct, but "auto-immune disease" doesn't make as tidy a sound bite. I mean, it's like eating out and getting the bill and it says "allergy alert." Technically not correct but better than nothing so long as they got my order right. Plus there are a LOT of people that I've met who give me the blank stare when I say auto-immune but know exactly what I mean about needing to avoid gluten when I say 'allergy'. It might be more appropriate to call it auto-immune when trying to educate the public. I guess it's all about sound bites and what we're willing to settle for in exchange for public awareness. And just think, if the FDA treated it like an allergy, we'd get full gluten disclosure on every package. Wouldn't that be sumthin?

Thank you for posting that ,I truly appreciate the link. I learned from it and you never know who you may help by posting.

I have the tingling in my arms and I possible have a B-12 deficiancy. I take b-12 vitamins but, I guess that is not enough. Maybe the sublingual?

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
