  1. Celiac.com 07/15/2025 - Kellanova's announcement of gluten-free Cheez-It crackers arriving in 2026 marks a significant milestone in accessible snack options for the gluten-free community. For decades, people with celiac disease or gluten...
  2. I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, ...
  3. Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly i...
  4. Celiac.com 07/14/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the small intestine in response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While genetics play a major role in celiac disease,...
  5. Celiac.com 07/12/2025 - Mexican rice, also known as "arroz rojo" or red rice, is a beloved side dish with deep roots in Mexican home cooking. Traditionally, this savory rice is simmered in a tomato-based broth with onion and garlic, and...
  6. Celiac.com 07/11/2025 - Celiac disease is an immune condition that affects around 1 in 100 people worldwide. It is triggered when genetically susceptible individuals consume gluten—a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. ...
  7. From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr
  8. Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.
  9. Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, ev...
  10. Celiac.com 07/10/2025 - As technology rapidly advances in healthcare, a once far-fetched idea is gaining traction: could smart toilets and other digital tools revolutionize how people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity track their...
  11. This company is a Celiac.com sponsor...read the studies here: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications and decide for yourself.
  12. No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full...
  13. 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...
  14. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
  15. Celiac.com 07/09/2025 - There’s nothing quite like the smoky aroma of grilled corn on a summer evening. Elote, or Mexican street corn, is a beloved snack that originated in the bustling streets of Mexico City, where it’s sold by street ven...
  16. That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-...
  17. While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could...
  18. Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia...
  19. It sounds like you've done an amazing job managing your health since going gluten-free in 2007, and it must be incredibly frustrating to experience these unexplained chest pains now. Since you were never formally tested for celiac disease, we can't rule out whether you have celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but your clear symptom improvement...
  20. It's too bad they didn't diagnose her based on the positive tTg-IgA blood tests + family history. Marsh 3A does confirm celiac disease, but it’s great that the damage isn’t extensive! Even with moderate changes, symptoms can vary widely. Strict gluten-free eating should help heal the gut over time.
  21. Celiac.com 07/08/2025 - In a hopeful development for the celiac disease community, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational drug TEV-53...
  22. More info is here! https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/cheez-it-gluten-free-crackers/507-44efbad0-99c0-4b2a-b771-a14285d8441a
  23. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...
  24. The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): If you have some time...
