    @jack56teal, Why have you concluded you don't have celiac disease? The Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA is not a primary celiac disease antibody test. Were any other celiac antibody tests run besides that one? The most important celiac antibody test is the tTG-IGA which has both good specificity and good sensitivity. And why do you bring up the issue...

    Thank you for this article. I was sent to an internist and he is actually going to be testing me for all of those illnesses mentioned, based on what I'm researching I think it is my thyroid as my TRab is now slightly elevated pointing to Graves Disease. I no longer have intestinal damage as my gastroenterologist repeated the scope and biopsy and villi does...

    After all the stuff I read. I truly believe it is dermatitis herpetiformis. After Endo, we will know for sure if celiac. Then he will go back to dermatologist

    Thanks for your thoughts, Janeen. A Newby, all I can do is hope my own path become more clear as the year goes on -- with a little from my Celiac.com friends.

    Thank you Scott. What a journey you have had. I'm feeling grateful that I did not discover I had Celiac until now (at 75 years of age) and I was able to enjoy all foods without worrying about it. The symptoms I have now are just as bad, so pretty sure it's not just gluten I react to. I will check with my GI nutritionist about what kind of test I could...

    Soy will be my forever enemy. My reactions to Soy are immediate and worse than any gluten reaction I had before, when it comes to going to the bathroom. Dairy is interesting. I can eat Bluebell ice cream with no effects. But other brands cause the gas and bloating. I feel I can eat white cheese with no problem but not cheddar cheese. Casein is my issue...

    Thank you Scott. I am 11 years since diagnosis and going ultimately gluten-free. I will look this over possibly tomorrow. What I do know is that Soy .

    The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is indeed a good book. It helped me a lot and provided a lot of useful information some time ago.

    My first post here following my recent diagnosis. I only had one symptom that sent me to the doc, now I'm contemplating life without gravy (sigh). I chased the results from my blood tests around the internet, and texted my PA to ask for a recommendation for a multi vitamin and mineral supplements. In reply, I received a pasted page from Up to Date ,...

    Welcome to the forum, @Anne G! Sorry to hear your daughter is having such a rough time. I have had very bad reactions to SSRIs. They are known to cause gastrointestinal side effects.

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous...

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those...
