  1. 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 signal NCGS. I had gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive s...
  2. Celiac.com 07/19/2024 - Celiac disease is a systemic, immune-mediated condition affecting the small intestine, triggered by gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Globally, the prevalence of celiac disease is around 1.4%, but...
  3. Some people on our forum need a formal diagnosis on a piece of paper in order to comply with a 100% gluten-free diet, but some don't. If you feel like you can go gluten-free without it then a formal diagnosis may not be necessary. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read...
  4. Olive oil is a good oil that is gluten-free.
  5. A positive test is still positive, and I personally don't believe in such a thing as a "weak positive," as this designation is relatively new, and began around 10 years ago. If you'd like to share your actual blood test results here feel free to do so, but be sure to include the reference range for positive. The next step is normally an endoscopy...
  6. This article may be helpful, but if you can have potatoes you may want to seek out a vodka made from potatoes?
  7. 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, and soy. The...
  8. Long-term relationships are never easy, but the fact that both of you seem to be trying to make sacrifices and work things out to stay together is a good sign. As you've probably already discovered, gut microbiome imbalance is being linked in research to more and more health issues, and scientific research on this is still in its infancy. Although we published...
  9. Your symptoms after reintroducing gluten could indicate celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Blood tests like tTG-IgA aren't always conclusive, especially after being gluten-free. An endoscopy and biopsy are the gold standards for diagnosis. Advocate for a gastroenterologist referral, even if it means seeking a second opinion or a new doctor. Healing from...
  10. This varies greatly from person to person--some get symptoms within minutes, and for others it takes hours or even days. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
  11. Here is an article on yeast that might be helpful--there can be trace amount of gluten in some yeast extracts, so if you're super sensitive you may want to avoid the ingredient:
  12. Celiac.com 07/16/2024 - Guacamole, a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, has delighted palates for centuries with its rich history and vibrant flavors. Originating from the Aztec civilization, the word "guacamole" itself comes from the Nahuatl...
  13. There is research that has been done, and will be done on this idea: More articles are at: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q="sourdough"&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy
  14. As far as I can tell Gluten Cutter doesn't contain the key AN-PEP enzyme, which had undergone a considerable amount of research which has been published that shows that it actually does break down gluten in the stomach.
  15. At least in the UK they are: https://www.aerochocolate.co.uk/products/multipacks/aero-milk-chocolate-multipack-x4
  16. Coconut milk is unlikely to contain gluten, especially brands from Thailand and Vietnam, as they don't grow any wheat there and use very little of it in their foods. I'm not sure if you are referring to a specific brand here, but in general coconut products have a very low risk of contamination. Most rice is safe, whether certified or not, and I don't have...
  17. I've not heard of Aero ice cream, but it looks like this one might be: https://www.madewithnestle.ca/confectionery-frozen-desserts/aero-truffle-salted-caramel-ice-cream-tub
  18. Celiac.com 07/12/2024 - The Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) has long been considered a gold standard for gluten-free certification, offering rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure that products meet strict...
  19. We've done a detailed analysis on the Moms Across America study and found that 15% of GFCO Certified "Gluten-Free" products that were randomly tested by them were found to contain gluten at over 10ppm. We'll comment more on this later, but we updated the topic title to include this new revised amount (it said 10% before). 32 out of 46 products were...
  20. I like Breyers ice creams, and their Natural Vanilla. Also, these articles might be helpful:
  21. Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. This article may...
  22. Has he had his thyroid function checked? Many people with celiac disease also have thyroid issues.
  23. I am sorry to hear about your husband, and I hope his health improves. It's true that gluten-free replacement bread products are not fortified with vitamins like wheat-based products are, and that many people with celiac disease need to replace the fiber that they got in their diets when eating wheat products, but I'm not sure you can attribute his heart...
  24. Good question, and the answer would be an organic brand that is also gluten-free, but I'm not sure if there are any. Unfortunately the problem with elevated glyphosate levels is pretty widespread now, and the industry says that even the highest levels detected in that study are safe, believe it or not (they also said that many other pesticides and herbicides...
