    I don't think there is any way to be sure, as symptoms of SIBO and celiac disease can overlap each other. I was also treated with antibiotics around the time of my diagnosis, which also made me feel better, but in the end only a gluten-free diet did this for the long-term.

    I've not tried that, and I only get their fries and a drink when I eat there.

    Soy does not have wheat in it, and soy is gluten-free.

    I was not 100% sure about this due to this part of their comment "...and has been now referred to specialist for further advise." If the referral is to a gastroenterologist, then they may want to confirm via a biopsy.

    So just because a product is made in the same facility does not mean that it is contaminated, it's possible, and likely, that if it is labeled gluten-free, then it is in fact gluten-free. Why are you assuming that there is contamination? What is the product?

    Feel free to let us know how your cruise goes with the gluten-free options.

    Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    It is fine to keep her gluten-free at this point, and she can do a gluten challenge if you decide to get a formal diagnosis and do the endoscopy. You did not mention the reference range for her test result, as they differ depending on the lab, but the fact that she had a positive test AND feel better when avoiding gluten, make it very likely that she has...

    I'm not sure which doctor you mean, but it's an interesting approach that might possibly help people with food sensitivities, and possibly even prevent some cases of celiac disease from developing. I still wonder what might have happened with me had I listened to my allergist many years back who wanted me to only eat wheat once per week.

    To be tested for celiac disease using blood screening you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks beforehand. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency...

    I also just want to mention that it's possible that your doctor might diagnose him with celiac disease without a biopsy, because his score was ~7x the level of diagnosis, so it is worth having a discussion with your doctor about this approach. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue...

    First off, I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve been facing, both with your recent celiac concerns and the dermatitis you've been dealing with. It’s clear you’ve put in a lot of effort to figure this out, and it’s frustrating to still have lingering questions. Regarding your TTG-IgA result of 11.6 U/mL, you’re correct that many labs and celiac ...

    Two of our moderators @knitty kitty and @Wheatwacked know a lot more about nutrients and may be able to offer some more help, so hopefully they will chime in here.

    Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies. 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...

    I am in the same boat--my daughter is in a junior college and staying with us now, but will be going away this summer to a school far from home. We're doing the research now on their food options.

    It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and I’m glad to hear you’ve already noticed improvements since going gluten-free! It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease to feel like their body is in a prolonged recovery phase, especially if the damage from years of undiagnosed celiac was severe. Your symptoms, like tingling, seeing stars, a pounding heart, ...

    In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level...

    Actually if shared equipment with a top allergen, and wheat is one of them, as a best practice it should be disclosed on the ingredient label as "made in a facility that includes wheat" or "made on shared equipment with wheat." Most large companies now disclose any possible risk with the top 8 allergens, but not all companies do this.

    Note to self--never go on a Celebrity cruise!😉 I can't imagine how much weight I would gain!!! Their gluten-free selection is amazing!
