  1. Celiac.com 05/29/2021 - Spring means fresh asparagus, and that's a wonderful thing for asparagus lovers. But if you're tired of serving grilled, or roasted, or blanched asparagus, and you're looking for a new way to savor the rich flavor...
  2. I mostly agree with you, however, we did get a positive gluten test using a Nima device where one out of two crusts we tested showed not gluten-free, so there may be a manufacturing issue with their wheat starch provider:
  3. The average time to recovery for celiacs is about two years, but it seems odd to me that you got better, then worse again. I agree with @trents and you should double check your diet for hidden sources of gluten. In Europe there are more gluten-free products made using wheat starch, so if you include those perhaps exclude them. Here are some more ideas...
  4. Probiotics are helpful, and I use this one because it contains Bifidobacterium Infantis, and lots of research has been done on this in connection with celiac disease: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NSXBYVV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Double check your diet and make sure you are not getting any hidden gluten, and note that the average...
  5. I don't think it would make any sense to get the endoscopy 4 weeks from now if you've already been gluten-free for a while. If you can't push it up sooner than you may want to cancel it, but it could still provide useful information on the condition of your gut, if you are concerned about that. Getting it sooner would be a better option, and you're already...
  6. You're free to make your own choice about this, but be sure to also weigh in the risks of getting covid-19 with your current chronic health issues, as the negative health consequences, up to and including death, are very well known and studied now, and are far greater than any risk of side effects with any of the vaccines.
  7. Hi @Dianasolvei, welcome to the forum! If I were pre-diabetic I would go on a paleo diet. Everything I've read on this points to too many carbs & sugar. Being gluten-free if you are gluten sensitive of celiac could also help improve your blood sugar.
  8. Turmeric can cause IPS-like symptoms in some people, but it is an outstanding anti-inflammatory that I also take.
  9. It looks to be naturally gluten-free, although it does not include this on the label. Their web site says:
  10. Celiac.com 05/27/2021 - 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 beers. Specifically, is Budweiser gluten-free and safe for people with...
  11. Sweet Baby Ray's does make the "gluten-free" claim on many of their sauces on their web site, but it looks to be a work in progress, so hopefully any issues will be resolved soon: https://www.sweetbabyrays.com/FAQ
  12. I should also mention that iron levels, low or high might cause a breathing issue like this as a symptom. I have chronic high red blood cell counts and need to do phlebotomy regularly. I notice that I get this symptom sometimes when my count is on the high side.
  13. I agree with @trents and would keep him on a gluten-free diet, and after a year on the diet get another endoscopy done to see if his villi recovered. He should also be checked for vitamin/mineral deficiencies, as they go hand in hand with damaged villi, and he likely needs supplements. I would also get the genetic test for celiac disease markers if possible...
  14. Celiac.com 05/26/2021 - 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 Mexican beers. Specifically, which Mexican beers are gluten-free and safe...
  15. Welcome to the forum! Something you mentioned confuses me: So can I assume that they did a blood test and said he didn't have celiac disease? If so, can you get and share those blood test results with us? Also, celiac disease can be diagnosed with blood tests, and/or via endoscopy--flattened villi. If he had "total villous atrophy" at any...
  16. Celiac.com 05/25/2021 - 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 adult nutritional drinks, specifically Ensure and Pedialyte. We recently...
  17. I took a look at their Web site FAQ and it says: https://hukitchen.helpdocs.io/article/xsjbgdextv-are-all-of-your-products-gluten-free So I doubt they would contain any gluten. Certified products must be below 10ppm. Could it be the high cocoa level in this? In some people, cocoa can trigger IBS-like symptoms.
  18. Keep in mind here that nothing on this forum should replace the medical advice from your doctor, and you should discuss this with them before doing it. I think if you approach them with the idea of trying a different approach for a couple of months because the current one isn't working for you they might agree that such a short term test would not be a bad...
  19. After reading through their site it's doubtful that this product contains any gluten, but you are correct, as "no gluten added" is not the same as "gluten-free." You may want to call the company and see if it's made on lines shared to make other supplements, as cross-contamination could be a possibility. Certain probiotics can cause stomach issues in...
