Celiac.com 06/29/2024 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where ingesting gluten leads to damage in the small intestine for those genetically predisposed. The standard treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, which... -
Thanks for sharing!

The biopsy/pathology report indicates the following: Duodenum Findings: Partially Denuded Fragments: This means that some areas of the duodenal lining are eroded or stripped away. Mild Increase in Intraepithelial Lymphocytes: There is a slight increase in the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) within the epithelial layer...

Celiac.com 06/28/2024 - Moussaka, a beloved dish in Mediterranean cuisine, has a rich history dating back centuries. Originating in the Middle East and later adopted by Greek and Turkish cultures, Moussaka has evolved into a hearty casserole... -
I got back responses to the following questions: 1) In an earlier question for you about what test was used, you answered: "Health Research Institute used a special test kit, the Romer Agrastrip Gluten G12 test," however this is not a quantitative test, but is a yes/no, positive/negative test. Did you instead mean that the test used was the Romer AgraQuant...

There is that, but if you go back in time 15-20 years ago, it wasn't scientifically accepted that a much larger percentage of the population has gluten sensitivity than celiac disease. Dr. Tom O'Bryan was an early adopter of gluten sensitivity being more widespread, even though there wasn't any science at that time which showed that NCGS existed.

I think your advice and the story you shared are a great example for many of us! Thank you!

We'll do an article on this topic so that it will be easier for people to find genetic testing companies.

Dr. Tom O'Bryan is an early adopter of the idea of gluten sensitivity being the bigger picture, and although I believe he's a chiropractor, he's respected by many within the celiac community, and has written quite a few articles for Celiac.com over the years: https://www.celiac.com/profile/81264-dr-tom-obryan/

Van’s International Foods (“Van’s”) is voluntarily recalling certain packages of Van’s Gluten Free Original Waffles, because they may contain undeclared wheat. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The affected products are labeled with Lot ...

There is currently no evidence suggesting that gluten passes through breast milk in amounts that could trigger celiac disease in a breastfeeding infant. The primary concern for a breastfeeding mother would be her own health and diet, as the primary pathway for gluten to affect a baby with celiac disease is through direct ingestion when the baby starts consuming...

I agree that it can be challenging, but the vast majority of people with celiac disease do manage to maintain a gluten-free diet, even at work. I worked daily in offices for many years after being diagnosed, and was able to avoid gluten at work. Employers even ask this question on applications for remote jobs, where the work will be 100% from the employee...

Nothing is incorrect in our article, but you would need to be more specific and state exactly what is not correct about it in order for us to respond. The tests for glyphosate were in parts per billion (ppb), as our article includes.

Let us know how it goes.

Welcome to the forum! Is there something in particular that makes you fall off the wagon with your gluten-free diet? For example, do you miss a particular food? Does this happen at restaurants, or parties, etc? Hopefully your family and friends can support you as well.

This is just wrong on so many levels, I mean it may not be you or the person who had rectal cancer surgery--perhaps it's someone else? All humans have various bathroom issues at one time or another, so it seems very inappropriate for you boss to bring such things up in front of his employees. Unfortunately there may not be a good way to deal with this...

I hope you're doctor is on top of this, and you can stay 100% gluten-free, as there are risks associated with celiac disease and pregnancy:

Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

How much gluten were you eating daily before the tests were taken? It should have been at least two slices of wheat bread worth of gluten for 6-8 weeks beforehand. If you were eating less, then the results might be lower than they otherwise would have been, had you been doing a proper gluten challenge.

For what it's worth, I had clogged sinuses for most of the first 25 years of my life, until I got diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free. Most of my pollen allergy issues went away after going gluten-free. My theory is that my immune system was on ultra-high alert while eating gluten, and normalized after going gluten-free.

I am sorry to hear about the issues with your husband, and it's too bad he isn't more supportive. Given how you felt in this situation, you may want to decline participating in his pizza tour of the East Coast, unless he plans to make it a gluten-free pizza tour, and it doesn't sound like this will be the case. Since you still have issues being around pizza...

It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/ww-supermarket/products/frozen-novelties/giant-chocolate-fudge-ice-cream-bars -
I'm sorry to hear about the new diet changes. Do you take choline as a dietary supplement? You may want to consider it as it helped me a lot with some digestive issues that I still had, even after going gluten-free.
