    it definitely sounds like you could have celiac disease and DH, based on the symptoms you’ve described. But the only real way to know is to get tested. Have you asked your doctor to give you a blood panel test for celiac disease? It would also be a good idea to see a dermatologist and get a biopsy on what sounds like the DH blisters. If you can’t afford tes...

    I get Kirkland brand acetaminophen which doesn’t say gluten-free on it but lists all ingredients. Note that it does contain: ”Pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate: derived from corn, potato, rice, or wheat but chemically processed so gluten remaining is unlikely.”

    More information about "Creamy Fresh Asparagus Soup (Gluten-Free)"
    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...

    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:

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    Turmeric can cause IPS-like symptoms in some people, but it is an outstanding anti-inflammatory that I also take.

    It's definitely a possible explanation. Good work putting this info together and making the connection.

    It looks to be naturally gluten-free, although it does not include this on the label. Their web site says:

    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

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.
