Please give us a review, it looks good. I wish we had something like this near me. -

I am not making any accusations here, but another possibility is that she could be cheating on her diet, or getting accidental gluten. In my experience having a teenage daughter, it was her cheating that caused her antibodies to stay high. This drove me nuts for a while, and after I realized that I really could not control her I at least got her to agree...

negative ttg ab, marsh 1 biopsy
Scott Adams replied to amlong73's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If I were you I would get a genetic test done on her to see if she carries the genes necessary for her to have celiac disease. A negative blood test with a mild positive biopsy would also leave me with many questions. -
If the vinegar is fermented, then all ingredients used to make it must be gluten-free for it to be labelled gluten-free. If the vinegar is distilled, it can be labelled as gluten-free no matter what ingredients are used to make it, so distillation renders it gluten-free.

Ate gluten and didn't get sick?
Scott Adams replied to Josh Corney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes, the Canadian article was about disability insurance, and I may be grandfathered into the company health plan (2006). I will check into that because it may make sense to go through Covered California to see if I can get a better deal. In any case, I recently checked on the premiums for extending my life insurance, and they would be sky high due... -
Gluten free
Scott Adams replied to Marbear's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Is it possible that you also have an issue with dairy/casein? Many people with celiac disease, including myself, have, at least temporarily, additional food intolerances after being diagnosed. This is due to a condition called "leaky gut" and once you successfully heal your gut with a gluten-free diet for several months, or even up to a year or two for some... -
Does Fluttering or Twitching In Lower Abdomen Mean Celiac Disease?

Regarding #7, you would not want to treat parasites unless you first went to your doctor and tested positive for them. At which point, the doctor would treat you for them. -
Malt vinegar is fermented, not distilled. The new rules state that anything distilled is gluten-free, no matter the source. Hydrolyzed products made using wheat or other gluten grains cannot be used in gluten-free products, and must declare "wheat" on the label if wheat is used to make it.

Ate gluten and didn't get sick?
Scott Adams replied to Josh Corney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
BTW, regarding my health insurance going up in the USA. I am not 100% sure since the ADA (Obamacare) has been in place if they are able to raise my rates due to me having celiac disease, but I suspect that they can. I could be wrong here, but the ADA simply says that they can't deny me coverage for a pre-existing condition, but I do not believe that there... -
Don't take this as official advice, but I have to deal with Kaiser Permanente, which is about as close as it comes in the USA to social medicine (it is a "not-for-profit" health care provider started by Henry Kaiser to provide free health care for his WWII ship building workers). In cases where I want to be tested for something I've been know to answer...

Corn byproducts
Scott Adams replied to Freedee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some celiacs also have an intolerance to corn protein (zein), I had a temporary one that went away after my gut healed following 2 years on a gluten-free diet. To know the specifics of the gluten-free diet, these lists might be helpful to you: -
Ate gluten and didn't get sick?
Scott Adams replied to Josh Corney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
BTW, to get more to the point of your original post, certain varieties of wheat do contain less gluten, and are less toxic to celiacs (which isn't to say that they are not toxic celiacs, just less so). Additionally, if they used low gluten varieties AND fermented them into a sourdough, most of the gluten could be eliminated (there are several teams... -
I'm not from the UK, but would like to offer some advice. You may already know this, but you need to keep eating gluten until your tests are completed, and I believe that the first step is a celiac disease blood panel: Although the UK may not be up to speed on food allergy testing and treatment, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, and the UK is...

The main thing is for you to support her with her diet, which might mean that you also go gluten-free. If you can't do this, you'll need to put some effort into making sure that her food isn't cross contaminated with gluten. @trents has asked some good questions, let us know what you mean and we can be more helpful.

Ate gluten and didn't get sick?
Scott Adams replied to Josh Corney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree, it is just sad that this dooms many, including myself, to higher costs for private life and health insurance, and makes them harder for people to get...which is the main reason why I say that an official diagnosis may not be the best option for everyone, especially for those who have no issues staying on the gluten-free diet. Now that I'm older... -
Ate gluten and didn't get sick?
Scott Adams replied to Josh Corney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Over the 25 years I've run this site I've seen many claims made here, in other sites, and in books, etc., that celiac disease can be "cured", but I've not seen any scientific evidence to support this claim. After my gut healed I've been accidentally glutened from time to time, and I don't have a big reaction to it, however, this doesn't mean that the... -
In response to several reported reactions from consumers, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is recommending individuals with celiac disease, or others with gluten-related disorders, to not consume the product described below as it may contain undeclared gluten. The product described below has been distributed nationally. No other lots are...
