  1. You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...
  2. That is true! 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 to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats...
  3. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
  4. Many people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease report throat-related symptoms, including a phlegmy, thick, or "sticky" feeling after gluten exposure. This could be due to inflammation, mild allergic response (like a wheat allergy), or even silent reflux triggered by gluten. Some also describe a "gluten globus" sensation—like something is stuck in t...
  5. You are correct--my bad! The ingredients do include wheat starch, and the fact that their products are certified gluten-free means that they test below 10ppm, but again, some celiacs do report issues with products that use Codex wheat starch. Here is the label of the one I though was wheat-free:
  6. Your diligence in managing cross-contamination is impressive, and it does sound like the dishwasher could be the culprit—especially since your symptoms started around the time you got it. Even if plates and cutlery look clean, gluten proteins can linger if the dishwasher isn’t effectively removing residue. Grittiness or visible marks suggest it may not be ...
  7. Your situation sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re taking a proactive approach to uncovering potential triggers for your Ménière’s symptoms. Given your family history of celiac, low folate, ferritin, and total protein (all of which can hint at malabsorption), and your possible IgA deficiency, further investigation is absolutely warranted. S...
  8. Celiac.com 06/06/2025 - Bistek Tagalog is a dish deeply rooted in Filipino culinary tradition, blending the Spanish influence of beef steak ("bistec") with native Filipino flavors of citrus and soy. Originally adapted during the Spanish...
  9. Celiac.com 06/05/2025 - Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and more prone to fractures, is a major health concern for people with celiac disease. Since fragile bones can lead to serious injuries, it is important to know...
  10. Celiac.com June 2025 - Explore expert insights, research updates, and practical tips on celiac disease, gluten-free living, and emerging treatments in our video library. Stay informed and empowered with the latest developments to manage...
  11. I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:
  12. It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality w...
  13. Celiac.com 06/04/2025 - Costco’s famous rotisserie chicken is a staple for many households—affordable, convenient, and delicious. But for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the big question is: Is it safe to eat? In thi...
  14. I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and...
  15. 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. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:
  16. Celiac.com 06/03/2025 - Sourdough bread has gained popularity for its tangy flavor, natural fermentation process, and potential digestive benefits. But for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, a critical question remains: Is...
  17. You might find some of these articles interesting--research that shows a connection between celiac disease and some cases of MS: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/multiple-sclerosis-and-celiac-disease/
  18. Washing strawberries in water, which you should always do anyway due to pesticides that may be on them, should make them safe.
  19. It is possible you have an additional food intolerance, possibly to milk/casein? 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 to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some...
  20. Your situation is intriguing—while the biopsy ruled out celiac disease, the elevated gliadin IgA (along with gastritis from H. pylori) suggests your immune system is reacting to gluten, albeit differently than in classic celiac. High gliadin IgA can occur in non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), other autoimmune conditions, or even as part of gut inflammation f...
  21. Your experience highlights a fascinating and often overlooked connection between gut health, mental health, and medication efficacy—something many in the celiac community encounter. When you removed gluten, your body likely began healing, which can dramatically alter nutrient absorption, inflammation levels, and even neurotransmitter production (like serotonin, ...
  22. While your negative tTG-IgA result suggests celiac disease is unlikely, the elevated total IgA (638) is notable and warrants further investigation. High IgA can occur in various conditions, including chronic infections, autoimmune disorders (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), or even liver disease—but it’s not typically linked directly to MS. That said, yo...
  23. Let us know how it goes! Good luck!
