  1. How long have you been taking the acid reducer? In general they are over-prescribed, and can cause other health issues when taken long-term, like mineral deficiencies.
  2. Those are definitely high numbers. I assume your next step would be to start on a gluten-free diet, but be sure to discuss your results with your doctor first. Let us know how things go. Your first degree relatives should also be screened, as ~44% of them could also have it. This article will be helpful:
  3. As usual, very interesting research. I've been taking both, so hopefully their research is correct!
  4. It's unfortunate to hear that you have to go through a gluten challenge. I seriously doubt the people who administer the vaccine would have an answer for you, but given the known risks associated with getting covid-19 I would still proceed with the vaccine. I've not seen any published studies on this specifically, but you can review some of the articles we...
  5. Many people with celiac disease avoid sugar because it can contribute to candida/SIBO overgrowth, as well as other things. I was diagnosed with heliobactor pryori at the same time as my celiac diagnosis. It took a while, but cutting out sugar an important part of my recovery, along with a gluten-free diet.
  6. As mentioned in my reply to your other post, you should check with your doctor about whether or not they want to do a biopsy to confirm your diagnosis. Those ingredients look safe, and these lists will be helpful to you, you may want to bookmark them:
  7. Welcome the the forum! It looks like you have a strong positive blood panel for celiac disease, and you have the genetic marker as well, so your next step may be a biopsy, although many doctors are diagnosing it without a biopsy if the blood test results are high enough. Your doctor may want you to continue to eat gluten daily until a biopsy is done...
  8. Gluten withdrawal is a real thing, but he should be past this after 4 months. Is it possible he's getting gluten in his diet at school? My kids both have medium peanut allergies, and their daycare was terrible about not dealing with it. This article covers gluten withdrawal in more detail:
  9. It could be because you are still healing, the average time for a full recovery from celiac disease is two years. It could also be a contamination issue, so you may want to re-check your diet, including meds, supplements, etc. Do you eat out? This would be a very common source of contamination. This article may be helpful:
  10. Most people are now being diagnosed with blood tests alone, so if you'd like to share your test results along with the cut off markers for celiac disease it will offer more info, but yes, positive blood tests are normally very difficult to explain away, and likely require a gluten-free diet, no matter what the biopsy results are.
  11. Note to self: Start an illegal vitamin & supplement smuggling operation into Europe... 😁
  12. Celiac.com 04/22/2021 - This version of Dutch Eggs is basically an eggs Benedict served over salmon, instead of English Muffins. One of my favorite ways to enjoy springtime asparagus is broiled with soft-boiled eggs on top. This recipe...
  13. I agree with keeping a food diary to find additional food intolerance issues. I also wonder if you’re not getting too much fiber, which can cause bloating and constipation.
  14. Here it is now reached the opposite state: the teachers are all vaccinated, and now they are calling the students back, who are unvaccinated! Starting 4/26 there is a "hybrid" version of school for those who want to return. They will supposedly wear masks and socially distance...in the classroom. Good luck with that. I opted my daughter to continue to study...
  15. You probably understand that these pure oat farmers could not possibly supply companies like General Mills with enough oats at a reasonable price point that they would not have to drastically increase their prices, thus they pursued their own technology to deal with contamination. Canada responded by protecting their pure oat farmers and won't allow...
  16. It would be good to know more about what you mean by "we also have a mills who do it 100 % clean." Do you mean these oat farmers do not grow any wheat in their fields, share transportation equipment, and don't mill any gluten containing grains? Of course this would be the ideal, however, this creates expensive products, thus General Mills spent millions...
  17. Celiac.com 04/21/2021 - Anyone with celiac knows that carrying a good gluten-free snack or energy bar can be a lifesaver. Our recent article pointing out that Clif Bar products are not gluten-free, drew out more questions about which energy...
  18. Celiac.com 04/20/2021 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is marked by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms triggered by gluten-containing foods, but with no celiac disease or wheat allergy. There are currently no known biomarkers...
  19. 06/20/2024 - Update: DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza was reformulated, and is now 100% gluten AND wheat-free. Gluten-free wheat starch is no longer used in the product, and I can say that the new forumula tastes outstanding! This excellent...
  20. It might be worth getting a blood test for celiac disease, just to rule it out. There are home test kits now for under $100. You must keep eating gluten daily to be able to get accurate results.
