  1. Celiac.com 09/27/2025 - Pizza has a long and storied history, stretching back to rustic flatbreads in the Mediterranean world. Traditionally topped with olive oil, herbs, and simple vegetables, these early versions paved the way for the...
  2. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
  3. This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—...
  4. The connection between celiac disease and thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, is well-established and statistically significant. Research indicates that individuals with celiac disease have a much higher prevalence of thyroid disease compared to the general population, with studies suggesting between 4-11% of celiacs...
  5. While thiamine is crucial for health, the specific mechanisms linking it to autoimmunity and autism as you've stated are not supported by robust evidence and go far beyond the conclusions of the studies you mention.
  6. Celiac.com 09/26/2025 - For people living with celiac disease, the only effective treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Unlike food sensitivities or intolerances, this condition is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small...
  7. Talk about sowing confusion...why does Gaviscon's website say: and when you ask them about this directly they reply with a letter saying that their product might contain gluten? This seems like false advertising to me! @FayeBr you may very well be reacting to gluten in the product, given their terrible response.
  8. There are lots of reports of covid-19 infection triggering people's celiac disease, so it seems possible that the vaccine may be a factor for some people as well. Currently there are several other viruses that have been implicated in triggering celiac disease in those who have the genes for it.
  9. Celiac.com 09/25/2025 - Digestive system cancers are among the most common and deadly forms of cancer worldwide, accounting for a large share of cancer diagnoses and deaths. Because these cancers often develop without clear early symptoms...
  10. You are right, it does say that it doesn't contain gluten: https://www.gaviscon.ie/products/gaviscon-advance-aniseed-flavor-liquid/ Is there any chance you have a sensitivity to one of its many other ingredients?
  11. Celiac.com 09/24/2025 - For people living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, meal planning is more than a lifestyle trend—it is a necessity. Avoiding gluten requires constant vigilance, from reading ingredient labels to preparing s...
  12. Thank you so much for sharing your story with such honesty and detail. Please know that you are not alone in this struggle, and your experience, while incredibly challenging, is more common than those "gluten-free miracle" stories on social media would have you believe. It's completely understandable to feel isolated, but your diligence in tracking your symptoms...
  13. When you are first diagnosed it is very normal to feel overwhelmed and depressed about the vast dietary changes that a 100% gluten-free diet entails. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need...
  14. Thanks for sharing this! Bread machines are still the way to go if you want outstanding gluten-free breads.
  15. What you've described is every celiac's nightmare, and it's very frustrating to be failed by a product that was specifically labeled as safe. It would be great to know which product it was so others here can be warned. Six weeks of inadvertent exposure is a significant insult to your system, and it's no wonder that after two weeks you are still feeling...
  16. Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified p...
  17. Celiac.com 09/23/2025 - Starbucks plans to "reimagine" its baked items and push deeper into protein-rich and gluten-free choices, including a new protein cold foam, as CEO Brian Niccol refocuses the brand. That's big news for anyone managing...
  18. The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.
  19. Celiac.com 09/22/2025 - Celiac disease is a condition in which the body reacts negatively to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. People with this disorder experience inflammation and damage in the small intestine when gluten...
  20. Celiac.com 09/20/2025 - Polenta, a dish with humble roots in Northern Italy, has long been a staple for its versatility and comfort. Traditionally served soft and creamy as a porridge, polenta also transforms beautifully when chilled and...
  21. Celiac.com 09/19/2025 – Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, from digestive problems to skin, bone, and neurological issues. Some people experience many symptoms o...
  22. Shopping and label-reading with celiac disease is easier with a reliable safe list. This curated, regularly updated guide highlights foods and ingredients that are naturally gluten-free or typically gluten-free when used in foods, beverages...
  23. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s crucial to know which ingredients are unsafe and forbidden. This master list of ingredients that contain gluten, or may contain gluten depending on processing, is kept up to date f...
  24. Your theory about a post-COVID hyper-reactive immune response is very plausible and aligns with what many in the community and some healthcare providers are observing. COVID-19 is known to cause significant dysregulation and inflammation within the immune system, which can take time to settle down. It's not a stretch to think that during this heightened state...
