    Interesting article, and I've seen other studies on too clean environments. The takeaway from this one is "Ultra-sterile living conditions may contribute to common astronaut illnesses, including gut, skin, and immune-system problems." Let your kids play in the dirt!

    I was referring to a possible risk factor for celiac disease based on elevated vitamin D levels:

    Hoisin sauce is used in some Chinese and South East Asian recipes, and some may be gluten-free, but not this one! Besides soy sauce, beware of oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, as some contain gluten.

    Welcome to the forum! I do think it would be worth getting a blood test for celiac disease in this case, and agree with @trents that many people have few noticeable symptoms. Have you had your iron and vitamin D levels checked? Low levels are another possible symptom that lead many to a diagnosis (as well as fat in stool). You would need to keep...

    One thing that seems to pop up here over and over is casein/dairy intolerance. Have you tried going dairy-free for a while to see if it helps?

    I do find it interesting that there may be a correlation with vitamin D3 supplementation and rates of celiac disease, and it's certainly worthy of more studies. If there is an association it would be important find out. I've always wondered if certain vitamin deficiencies could trigger celiac disease. @Posterboy has posted a lot about various vitamin and...

    This is an interesting question, and this site indicates that sterols can be made from "wheat bran and wheat germ," so they could possibly contain gluten. https://www.healthline.com/health/high-cholesterol/statins-vs-plant-sterols#plant-sterols

    This article talks about scalloping: "The characteristic appearance of the surface of the small intestine in celiac disease includes superficial ulcerations that are commonly linear, flattening of the folds, notching or scalloping of the folds and a mosaic-like pattern. However, the surface may appear normal and only under microscopic examination of...

    If you are doing an endoscopy to confirm diagnosis of celiac disease you need to eat 1-2 sliced of wheat bread daily for at least 2 weeks before the test, otherwise you could get false negative results.

    I'm sorry to hear about how bad you're feeling, but welcome to the forum! Do you happen to have the positive cut off marker for your TtG test? Yours does sound very high, and many doctors are now diagnosing celiac disease on blood tests alone, if they reach 10x the cut off for a positive celiac test. In any case, at least you found your answer and can...

    I seriously doubt your diagnosis was incorrect, but I have seen many people later question their original diagnosis, do a gluten challenge, only to find that they really do have an issue with gluten.

    @JoelW1lls I forgot your specific circumstances, but if you've been diagnosed with celiac disease, or have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, these are considered to be lifelong conditions which require a gluten-free diet, so it would not be a good idea to add gluten back into your diet ever.
  18. Scott Adams
    You have a high TTG result, which is normally interpreted as probable celiac disease. For the doctor to toss this out and ignore it because you may not have vitamin or mineral deficiencies yet is a bad idea. To me, you've caught this early, before it has reached a more serious stage, but you really don't even know this yet, as you haven't had a biopsy. I...

    It's possible, but not likely, especially if you also had a positive blood test for celiac disease.

    I agree, here are the inactive ingredients, which typically where gluten in medications would hide, and none seem to be gluten ingredients: GELATIN (UNII: 2G86QN327L) HYPROMELLOSE 2910 (50 MPA.S) (UNII: 1IVH67816N) METHACRYLIC ACID - ETHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER (1:1) TYPE A (UNII: NX76LV5T8J) FERRIC OXIDE RED (UNII: ...

    More information about "Is Tylenol Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 06/08/2021 - We get a lot of questions from people wondering which brands of over the counter drugs are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. We recently answered questions about whether Advil PM is gluten-free...

    Welcome to the forum! Is there a chance you can share your complete test results, with the high marker levels? To me it sounds very strange that any doctor would immediately dismiss celiac disease if you had a positive TTG test. That test is very specific and considered a good indicator or celiac disease, or at the very least, gluten sensitivity (~12% have...

    For me weight gain started a few months after going gluten-free, but I also had to eliminate other foods that seemed to be causing me issues at the time like dairy, chicken eggs, tomatoes, garlic, and corn. After 1-2 years I could add these things back to my diet without noticeable issues. We also did an article on this diet, which has become more popular...

    They are now using it to make American gluten-free products, and Di Giorno's new frozen gluten-free pizzas use it.
