Gluten free thyroid medications
Scott Adams replied to KimMS's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm sure you can find other gluten-free versions here. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in... -

Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG...

Am I celiac or not?
Scott Adams replied to somethinglikeolivia's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate... -
It is a single study done on children within a single country in Europe, so it's results can't be projected onto the entire world for both adults and children, and over all ethnic groups in the world. The 1% figure is an approximation based on the results of many studies that have been done worldwide on both adults and children.

Am I celiac or not?
Scott Adams replied to somethinglikeolivia's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm unable to determine your situation--did you go gluten-free for a while before your endoscopy for celiac disease? If so, the results would not be accurate because you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for at least two weeks leading up to the procedure. Also, your strong TTG Antibodies IgA results do indicate celiac disease. This article might... -
You bring up a valid and important point. The persistent citation of the "1% of the global population" figure can indeed feel outdated, especially when newer, well-conducted studies like the one from Italy suggest that the actual prevalence—particularly in children—may be significantly higher. The Italian study by Elena Lionetti showing a 1.6% rate in scr...

Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—w...

Finding gluten free ingredients
Scott Adams replied to lmemsm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, ... -
beans in dessert recipes
Scott Adams replied to lmemsm's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly i... -

Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??
Scott Adams replied to shirlane's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr -
Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, ev...
