  1. Just so you know, there are many great gluten-free products that are highly nutritious. Of course there are also many that are not, and are full of empty carbs and refined flours that don't include much else except starches. Whole foods prepared at home are best, and finding high quality products high in fiber, nutrients, etc., is important.
  2. Hello @Ryan McD and welcome to the forum. The “Follow” link below indicates that @Valerief isn’t following this thread, but she may get this notification since I tagged them. As you may know celiac disease can attack the nervous system and some people, which can cause gluten ataxia, seizures and brain issues. Is your mother on a 100% gluten-free diet,...
  3. Also, I believe that your numbers are bit skewed. Perhaps if you look at the entire population your risk of death might be less than 1%, but depending on your age and other health factors, your risk of death could be much higher if you were to get covid-19. I believe that for those over 70, for example, the risk of dying is over 5%. Have a look at this...
  4. That's really bad that they had to delay your endoscopy. Can you get a repeat blood panel done now? In the UK they are diagnosing celiac disease without a biopsy if you're results are 10x the cut off level for celiac disease. This might be a possible way to shorten your time on your gluten challenge.
  5. Hi Moni, welcome to the forum! Going the gluten challenge route to get a formal diagnosis can be a very difficult choice, but it is your choice to make, and it sounds like you are very close to the end point, getting an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease. You may already know this, but a negative biopsy would not exclude gluten sensitivity, so a gluten...
  6. Welcome to the forum! I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing issues. The article below may be helpful to you if you believe that you're not getting gluten in your diet, which is the first thing to look at. Yes, medications can contain undeclared gluten, so it's important to look at anything you are ingesting.
  7. Unless I'm missing something it looks like your results are negative, but more info about how to interpret them is in the article below. Also keep in mind that a negative blood test does not rule out gluten sensitivity, which ~12% of people have.
  8. If you got the vaccine in the last week or so consider taking some aspirin every day for a couple of weeks to prevent blood clotting. Headaches can be a symptom of the negative side-effects being reported. If you do this be sure to take it with food.
  9. I believe that ANA measures inflammation and could be a sign of many autoimmune issues, so perhaps it's possible, but you can read up more about what other people have posted on that topic with a search: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="ANA test"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and
  10. Celiac.com 04/14/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about energy bars, especially Clif Bar. Specifically, is Clif Bar gluten-free and...
  11. The destruction varies from person to person, which makes it harder to detect using endoscopy. Some people just have small patches, while others have vast areas that have been affected.
  12. I think it's a great idea. If you get enough people interested feel free to post the event on our calendar: https://www.celiac.com/calendar/

  14. Note that only about 1% of people have celiac disease, but around 12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. They are still doing research to find a way to screen for NCGS, but currently they don't have a reliable way to do this. Dr. Kenneth Fine of Enterolab claims that his stool testing can do this, and many people on this forum stand by his methods. He also...
  15. I've never seen such a study, but your question is certainly worthy of a study.
  16. One thing to keep in mind, just in case her biopsy results are negative, is that about 1% of people have celiac disease, but around 12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and they are still doing research to find a way to screen for NCGS. Given her positive DPG test she almost certainly has gluten sensitivity to some degree, so it would be a good idea for...
  17. You can read more about meat glue here:
  18. Also, I've been taking benfotaimine (B1) and Magnesium Citrate which helped with my neuropathy.
  19. Hayter's Turkey Products Inc. is recalling Hayter's Farm brand Onion & Parsley Turkey Burgers from the marketplace because it contains wheat which is not declared on the label. People who have an allergy to wheat, or have celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders should not consume the recalled product described below. Recalled products Brand Product ...
