Celiac.com 06/02/2021 - Under the FDA’s 2013 Rule on Gluten-Free Labeling of Fermented or Hydrolyzed Foods, wheat starch is considered “an ingredient processed to remove gluten.” Wheat starch is an allowed ingredient in foods labeled glute... -
What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Celiac Disease Basics
Possibly, as diarrhea and loose stools are definitely symptoms, however, many celiacs have little to no symptoms. -
Is DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza Really Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Guest Laura, you need to back this comment up, as I've never heard before of rennet as a source of gluten. If this were true it would cause nearly all cheeses to not be gluten-free. There is no known reason to add gluten to cheese, and in fact doing so would likely ruin the cheese. -
PS - I think it goes without saying that it might be a good time to discuss the possible use of statins with your doctor, as they can slow down, and possibly decrease plaque in arteries.

Any advice for severe constipation?
Scott Adams replied to SuzieGetAClue's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the forum! Have you tried taking magnesium citrate (I use the Nature Made brand available at Costco)? I ask because when I began taking it I noticed that it definitely relieved constipation. Drinking coffee also helps. Also, if you are getting too much fiber, too little fiber, or not the enough of the right type of fiber, can cause issues... -

Good experience at The Olive Garden
Scott Adams replied to Oldturdle's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Good call on the enzymes beforehand. Shortly after Olive Garden launched their "gluten-free" menu I went there and had pasta, and ended up getting sick. This was long before I used AN-PEP enzymes, but when I called the manager they said that they cooked all the pasta in the same water, otherwise it would take an extra 10-15 minutes to get me the "gluten-free... -
As usual, these look amazing...thank you for sharing another great recipe!!

Many gluten-free replacement products, unfortunately, are loaded with carbs, salt, sugar, and gums like xanthan gum. Xanthan gum causes IBS-like symptoms in many people: There are companies making whole grain and sprouted grain gluten-free products that might agree more with you, but you need to seek them out.

@knitty kitty I hope you are doing well! -
I've found it's definitely best to ask questions and keep following up with doctors about your health, otherwise you can just slip through the cracks. This section has the related disorder summaries we've done of various studies: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ and this sub-section has those about heard disease...

Childhood diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to Chrissy308's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you are still eating gluten, is that correct? If so, now is the time to get another blood test, before you go gluten-free, as the test requires you to be eating gluten for 6-8 weeks beforehand. -
I agree, learning to read labels should be the first step, and once you can do that there isn't a need for an app.

Welcome to the forum @HLM, and it's interesting to hear your story, and that it took eliminating additional foods for your iron and ferritin levels to improve.
-
I agree that it's probably not related, and interestingly when I was in the process of getting all sorts of tests done to figure out whether or not I had celiac disease, they did determine that my spleen was on the highest size of the normal range. I'm not sure what that means, but I do have an issue with a chronic high red blood cell count and high hematocrit...

What Causes Villous Atrophy Besides Celiac Disease?
Scott Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
Celiac.com 06/01/2021 - Villous atrophy not caused by celiac disease is called "non-celiac enteropathy." In many cases, the symptoms mirror the classic symptoms of celiac disease: diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Spotting... -
The article does say: "Taco Bell does not specifically label any of its food gluten-free, and they don't recommend it for people with celiac disease." There is also a chance of cross-contamination.

Welcome to the forum @Sof, and thanks for sharing your story. In your case it seems like you've found your answer, so trying to eat gluten for weeks to get tested probably doesn't make sense. At the very least, it sounds like you are gluten sensitive, and there are not current tests for this condition, and the treatment is the same, a gluten-free diet.

Here is a paid product review we did of this app a while back: And here is a more recent article we did on this topic.

Get Your Super Foods: Eating High Nutrition Without the Oxalate
Scott Adams commented on Monique Attinger's article in Spring 2016 Issue
The article says “However, whole oats are high in oxalate, and the oat bran has confusing test data.” See this site which confirms oats are high in oxalates: Open Original Shared Link -
it definitely sounds like you could have celiac disease and DH, based on the symptoms you’ve described. But the only real way to know is to get tested. Have you asked your doctor to give you a blood panel test for celiac disease? It would also be a good idea to see a dermatologist and get a biopsy on what sounds like the DH blisters. If you can’t afford tes...
