    Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels...

    You can find gluten-free foods in any supermarkets in Europe, so it's possible to not have to eat in restaurants much.

    I typically bring my own food on flights and trains, and haven't had any issues doing that, although I never use ice packs. At the very least it's a good idea to have backup GF bars and trail mix whenever you travel.

    Honestly, with a 10x or higher level on a TTG-IgA score, there is really no other explanation but celiac disease, at least in my humble opinion.

    So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source?

    In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive...

    The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal, although this may not be the case for everyone. This article may be helpful:

    For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

    We made our kids' lunches throughout elementary school, and a good part of high school, but my daughter ended up straying from the diet in high school due to peer pressure. I think you brought up something interesting, and that is that some kids get mistakenly diagnosed with eating disorders, when they actually may have celiac disease or some other food intolerance...

    It's understandable to be concerned about the unit change between your child's test results. TTG-IgA can be reported in different units (U/mL or kIU/L), and some labs use a conversion where 1 U/mL equals approximately 1 kIU/L. However, since reference ranges and assay methods vary by lab, it's best to confirm with them directly. Ask the lab or your doctor...

    I don't see the ingredients listed on their website, so it's best to avoid until you know for sure.

    One thing I've learned over many years here, is that everyone needs to be their own health advocate, and that may include not trusting what some doctors may say or do. In my case I had gluten sensitivity issues all my life, but for ~5 years full blown celiac disease and went to many doctors and was not tested for it until I specifically asked for the tests...

    We'll update the article to include the oats for those who avoid them.
  19. Scott Adams
    While you are correct about the oats, it looks like they use gluten-free oats, as they have their crunchy corn tacos marked gluten and wheat-free on their website: https://www.tacobell.com/food/tacos/crunchy-taco
  20. Scott Adams
    Taco Bell’s meat (seasoned beef, chicken, steak) does not contain oats and is gluten-free by ingredient. However, due to shared cooking equipment, cross-contamination is possible, so it may not considered safe for celiacs. The only oats on the menu are in Cinnamon Delights, which contain gluten. Gluten-sensitive diners can opt for corn-shell tacos or Power M...

    Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
  22. Scott Adams
    Have you been able to see a doctor or rheumatologist about this? Inflammation like that could point to something like celiac complications, an autoimmune response, or even reactive arthritis, and you deserve relief and answers. In the meantime, gentle heat/cold therapy or anti-inflammatory foods and over the counter meds might help a little, but I hope you...

    @fritz2, in the USA it is extremely rare for maltodextrin to contain wheat, although technically, according to the FDA, it can. Various celiac support groups over the last few decades have contacted the 3-4 biggest USA manufacturers of it to discover that corn is almost always used, rather than wheat. The sugar in the vitamin water, however, may have contributed...

    Thanks for this update, and it is scary that drug manufacturing is being outsourced to India, a country that is notorious for having very little, or extremely relaxed business regulations.
