Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?
Scott Adams replied to Rejoicephd's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained... -
High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods
Scott Adams replied to Mykidzz3's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and... -
Welcome to the forum--and you are absolutely not alone in your experience with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity that presents with severe constipation and profound inflammatory consequences. While the more commonly discussed symptoms are diarrhea-centric, your reaction is a valid and documented, though less common, manifestation. It is completely understandable...

Could this be a new intolerance
Scott Adams replied to Celiacpartner's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain... -
Gluten exposure when trying to conceive
Scott Adams replied to Skydawg's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response... -
Celiac.com 09/16/2025 - Food labels are more than just marketing—they are lifelines for people who must manage chronic health conditions through their diet. A recent federal proposal has brought new attention to the possibility of requiring U... -
It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

Newbie with Celiac / NCGS symptoms
Scott Adams replied to SEQ's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could... -
Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.
-
Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

Since those with celiac disease have a much higher chance of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether...

@Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense...

Celiac symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Dana0207's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity... -
So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
