    More information about "A New Skin Patch Could Eventually Diagnose Numerous Ailments Including Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity"
    Celiac.com 02/22/2021 - The skin has long been thought to be the body's largest organ. Recently, however, researchers discovered that the largest organ might actually be the interstitium, which lies just beneath the skin's outermost layers...

    Yes, I agree with @RMJ, on this, of course there is no evidence of celiac disease now that you've been gluten-free for so long. The disease never goes away, but all symptoms and the ability to test for it do go away if you are on a gluten-free diet for a long time. Currently you can't be screened for celiac disease unless you go on a gluten challenge for...

    Over 20% of the population have the genetic markers for celiac disease, but only ~1% get it (~12% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity). Also, not all labs will test for all known genetic markers, and new ones have been found in the last few years. It's possible that you will spend the money and still be exactly where you are at now. The best hope is that they...

    Hello @Jilly2310 and welcome to the forum. How long have you been gluten, corn and oats free? If your doctors think you’re nuts, it's time to change doctors.

    This is the first I've heard of them, and they seem to be both gluten and allergen free, which is rare in the nutritional shake category. If you end up trying them please let us know how they are. It looks like there are a lot of reviews on them, so perhaps you can read some, especially the bad ones, and decide if you want to try them?

    @MADMOM, 5 weeks is too short a time for all of your symptoms to go away. The average time for full recover is 2 years, so be patient, and vigilant on your gluten-free diet.

    I'm in the group of naturally high cholesterol (stays close of 300) that I tried for years to treat naturally, but in the end couldn't. I'm on a low dose statin that seems to work very well for me, and I've not noticed any negative side effects from it. I've got heart disease on both sides of my family, and my father passed away of a heart attack at 48, so...

    Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear that you got glutened. Your story sounds a lot like issues many people with celiac disease face regularly--I too like to eat out sometimes, and usually pick restaurants that have gluten-free menu options, but like you, I've also had issues. For the past couple of years I've been using the GliadinX supplement...

    I hope that you're not having an allergic reaction as well. Some of the symptoms you describe, especially the watery eyes and facial swelling, sound more like an allergy. It is, of course, possible you have both a wheat allergy and intolerance to gluten. Be extra careful if you experience swollen lips, itchy throat, swelling in your throat, etc., and you...

    Your family is correct, besides follow up care for celiac disease which, according to studies often doesn’t happen, the only other reason to get diagnosed would be if you needed the piece of paper to help you stay on the diet and/or be able to justify to your loved ones being on the diet. If you don’t need any of this, just go gluten-free, and a pos...

    It's OTC and used mostly for diabetics. I got it here, but it's currently out of stock: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0747S6Z49

    I forgot to mention that last week we did a summary of older (2018) research which shows that cow's milk protein can also cause elevated Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) in some people, so it makes me wonder if cow's milk can also cause flattened villi, and if this is a separate condition from celiac disease:

    The test I just took and am awaiting the result for is the ALCAT test (note that they have been a sponsor of this site in the past, but currently are not, and the only compensation for the article I am doing for them is a free test, which will be disclosed in the article): https://cellsciencesystems.com/patients/alcat-test/ PS - They do have a lab...

    You may be in the category of having an intolerance to oat protein (avenin), around 10% of celiacs have this issue. If so, this would mean that you have to eliminate oats as well.

    In some countries in Europe I seriously doubt that Velveeta could even legally be called "cheese." 😉 Certainly there are likely many healthier alternatives out there, like real cheeses, which your granddaughter can have, although many likely won't be certified gluten-free (since nearly all cheeses are naturally gluten-free, most producers won't bother go...

    If your rash is dermatitis herpetiformis, then 6 weeks could be very difficult--and really it may be longer because your doctor may want to do a biopsy confirmation, and they usually want you to continue eating it until that is finished. Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

    I've had neuropathy issues to some degree for almost 25 years, even though I've been taking supplements that are supposed to help with it. It wasn't until I started taking benfotiamine (a type of B1 that absorbs better), and magnesium citrate during the past year that I've finally stated seeing improvement with it.

    If you were diagnosed with celiac disease, which it sounds like you were, then you are in the very early stages of recovery. The good news is that you should continue to feel better and better for months to come, as your gut heals and you absorb nutrients better.

    Just like there are 8 top allergens, there are likely at least 8 foods responsible for the vast majority of food intolerance issues, and the two groups seem to overlap quite a bit. It's a bit of speculation on my part, but due to my own experience I believe that in many cases of food intolerance and/or celiac disease eating foods which you may be allergic...

    Yes, it has been documented that the Hepatitis B vaccine is less effective in celiacs:
