Possible Celiac?
Scott Adams replied to CeliMomi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If this isn't a financial issue, I would get a DNA test, and if @CeliMomi got their child's biopsy results back, and they are negative, I would still suspect non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and consider consulting with the doctor about trying a gluten-free diet. The positive tests, and symptoms going away on a GFD, would likely confirm gluten sensitivity. -
Again, I've driven all over California's farming areas, and don't see any straw in the strawberry fields, but straw is gluten-free, even wheat straw. I am very skeptical of any claim that ANY farm or home grown strawberries would contain any gluten, even if wheat straw were used. A simple washing would remove anything on the outside. Are you worried that...

Seven Great Gluten-Free Cocktails with Tito's Vodka
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Given that Tito's is a distilled beverage, no proteins are present in the end product anyway, so it should not make any difference it it's made with GMO corn or not, as you're not consuming any corn. -

Welcome to the forum! We've done many articles on pregnancy and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=pregnancy&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles and we've had people post here that their pregnancy actually triggered their celiac disease. Before going gluten-free it would be ideal if you could get a celiac...

PS - I believe that in the USA "Spices" cannot contain gluten, and all wheat must be declared on the allergen statement. -
There is indeed a connection, and you can view some of our articles that mention this here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=Thrombocytopenic&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and

Pesticides don't have gluten, you just want to consume as close to zero of them as possible. Some fruits use larger amounts, and types that are more toxic, and non-organic commercial strawberries and well known to be in this category.

The average time is 2 years, and it could probably be faster if people knew about things like hidden gluten in food additives, cosmetics, etc., and if they took dietary supplementation seriously and tested for vitamin & mineral deficiencies. In my case I think it was a combination of not supplementing right away, and working at a desk too much,... -

Scott Adams replied to AmericanaMama's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've had some bad years! Although my recovery seemed to be dramatic, that was just in comparison to how sick I had been before going gluten-free. There was an ~10-15 year period in my life afterwards where I have chronic stiff necks, major knots in my shoulders and neck, and around once per month I would wake up with such a bad stiff neck I could not turn... -

You are not alone, and there are many celiacs who report some of the things you're going through. Here is a summary of a recent study on dating and celiac disease. I think getting your diet under control, and getting healthy is every celiac's first priority, but learning how to deal with various social relationships while maintain a gluten-free diet isn't...

I highly doubt strawberries would contain any measurable gluten, even IF they used straw under them (if heard of home gardeners doing this, but have never seen it done here in California in commercial strawberry fields...and even IF they did it, straw does not contain gluten). Strawberries are a very common fruit allergy which can be quite severe in some...

I would check into a possible corn intolerance, as Barilla is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
-
Hello @gf_kitchen, and welcome to the forum. Is it possible you have a corn intolerance or corn allergy? I ask because Barilla is probably the largest gluten-free pasta manufacturer in the world, and their product is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, so it's very doubtful that it would contain any gluten.

Was your reaction different than you have with gluten? Nut allergies are very common, as you probably know, but an allergic reaction is very different than the reaction that a person with celiac disease has with gluten, which is an autoimmune reaction. If the reaction was more like a gluten reaction, I wonder if it's possible that you got some gluten in your... -

We summarized this research as well, and it certainly means that better tests need to be developed:
