    Do you eat out in restaurants? This is a common source of contamination. The first step for you would be to re-examine your diet to be sure that it is 100% gluten-free. 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 your reaction to gluten is this strong and obvious, do you really need a formal diagnosis? Why not just go gluten-free?

    Do you know the reference range for your test? It can be different depending on the lab that processed the test. 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...

    It sounds like you've been through quite a challenging journey, and you're handling it with great resilience! Here are a few things to keep in mind as you move forward: Since you're preparing for a definitive diagnosis, a gluten challenge (reintroducing gluten before testing) is necessary. Typically, it's recommended to consume around 1-2 slices of bread...

    I think potato chips can be fine depending on the oil used and the amount of salt on them, so if they help you gain weight you may want to keep them in your routine.

    I also had issues with severe neck and shoulder pain for years, so this may be a symptom of celiac disease. In case you end up screening negative for celiac disease, 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 s...

    Although Brach's Mellowcreme Pumpkins do not contain any gluten ingredients, they are made in a facility that processes wheat, so we removed them from the safe list, and they should only be on the unsafe list--thank you for pointing this out! https://www.brachs.com/products/pumpkins-mellowcreme-candy

    We've had others report reactions to hay, for example: I'm not sure if you can try wearing an N92 mask when doing this work, or try rinsing off your skin directly afterwards, but if neither work if might be best if you can avoid handling the hay.

    Welcome to the forum @Karen Rakhshan, 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.):

    For you it sounds like this will be the case, but no two celiac diets are alike, and there is no "one size fits all" in this case. Another examples is how some celiacs choose to eat out at restaurants, while others never will.

    Welcome to the forum. This would be a personal choice that you would need to make. I eat many different products that don't necessarily have "gluten-free" on their label, for example potato chips, salsa, tortilla chips, etc, while other people won't eat such products. If "gluten-free" is on the label, and it is made in a facility that also processes wheat...

    I agree, and here is an older article on this topic:

    Are the antibiotics to treat the hives? That seems like a strange approach to me, but I'm not a doctor.

    Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

    I agree with @trents, but be sure to ask your doctor what it means so you can be sure. Since you did genetic tests for celiac disease have you also had blood tests done for it?

    I am not sure where you are getting "they have food lines with wheat" for these products, as Kraft-Heinz has always declared any major allergens on their labels, including if a product is made in a facility that makes wheat products. Also, even their Crispy Tater Tots are not certified gluten-free, but are labeled gluten-free.

    While anything is possible, I'd like to still defend Kraft-Heinz and their Ore-Ida Tater Tots with regard to gluten. Kraft-Heinz has, for well over a decade, had an excellent allergen policy where they disclose any possible allergens on their labels. If you are having issues with them, could it be due to another intolerance/sensitivity? Their regular...

    I think you may be confusing me here with @knitty kitty, however, I also take B1, and in my signature block is a link to my supplementation.

    Thanks for the recommendation, and I'll add this to our article:

    As this point do you really need a piece of paper with a formal diagnosis to tell you that you should not eat gluten? This is always the question I ask to those who seem to have figured out that they have a gluten sensitivity, but got bad instructions from their doctor about the testing protocol. Only you can answer this question, but would you keep eating...
