    More information about "Mission, Doritos and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla Chips"
    Celiac.com 05/19/2021 - 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 snack products, especially corn tortilla chips. We recently established...

    Yes, they definitely showed me things that I apparently react highly to that I had no idea affected me, as well as some things that I already knew I had issues with.

    So it looks like you're not IgA deficient (I believe it was 220 from what you posted), and your Anti-Gliadin IgA was positive. According to this article: "A sensitive testing protocol includes testing for both IgA and IgG anti-gliadin antibodies since a significant portion of celiac patients (approx. 2-5%) are IgA deficient. This combined IgA and IgG anti...

    Can you share your high blood test result along with the cut off level for celiac disease? If you have even one positive blood test for celiac disease, then you could still have it, or gluten sensitivity for which they currently can't screen, even though your gut isn't damaged (that could still happen later). For your genetic test, are you saying...

    No, but this is a great idea! It sounds like a simple recipe that makes pot pies easy...thanks for sharing!

    I am not aware of any specific brands that would contain gluten, however, it would also not surprise me if there are a few that do. Here are some past posts in this forum on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=laundry detergent&quick=1 and you might find this post helpful:

    I'm currently testing out the ALCAT diet after receiving test results. Note that they are a sponsor here, and I'm in the process of doing a non-paid article on my experience with this (the only payment for my article was free testing): https://previmedica.com/ The ALCAT test analyzes the white blood cell (leukocytes) responses to various foods,...

    Yes, @Tonedown, you may need to find a better doctor, as this assessment isn't helpful at all, and generally speaking, there are tons of things you can do to repair your gut, first and foremost is a strict gluten-free diet, which means no more Big Macs!

    Yes, there is no diagnostic test available at this point for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, only for celiac disease. From what I've read, antibodies may work for some, but currently this is only early research, and isn't being used at this point:

    Welcome to the forum @ekh, and it's great to hear that there are retirement communities that offer gluten-free meals. We ran an article back in 2016 which made the prospect of finding gluten-free food for those in full care facilities to be rather difficult:

    More information about "Should Celiacs Worry About Microbial Transglutaminase, aka 'Meat Glue'?"
    Celiac.com 05/18/2021 - Microbial transglutaminase, also known as ‘meat glue,’ is an enzyme commonly used in the meat industry to “glue” together smaller pieces of fish or meat to make a single larger piece from numerous smaller chunks....

    I had a shingles flare once and can definitely testify that it was one of the most painful things I've experienced. For me it flared behind my right ear and up the side of my head. Strangely I had what I thought was a pinched nerve in my neck for many years leading up to this--a tingling sensation that shot up the exact same nerves, and I now realize that...

    I think it really depends on the expertise of the doctor, just like any tests related to celiac disease. I've seen the exact incorrect procedures followed by doctors with regard to celiac disease blood tests--for example not telling their patients that they need to keep eating gluten for at least the 6-8 weeks leading up to any blood tests for celiac disease...

    I hope you find out, and please chime in here and let us know how things turn out.

    My understanding is that when they do an endoscopy they take 3-10 samples from a small area of your gut, which, if stretched out, would cover an area the size of a football field. So no, I don't think you get a full picture of your gut health when you do an endoscopy. They could simply miss an area that has damage, or the damage isn't visible so they don...

    Both my wife and daughter had GI symptoms after their vaccines, my wife after her 2nd Moderna which lasted about a week, and my daughter after her first Pfizer and lasted a few days.

    So ruling out celiac disease doesn't rule out gluten sensitivity, unfortunately. It's still possible you're symptoms are caused by gluten at @trents mentioned, so it might still be worth trying out the gluten-free diet to see if it offers relief.

    If the ingredient is "distilled vinegar," it is gluten-free. I've never seen fermented vinegar used in canned refried beans.

    Since nobody in your family was ever tested for it there is no way to know your risk of celiac disease, but at the very least, it sounds like gluten sensitivity runs in your family. It would definitely make sense for you to get screened for this before going gluten-free, and keep in mind that a negative test for celiac disease would not rule out gluten sensitivity...

    At the same time you're working to get your blood panel done you should also ask your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist to get a biopsy for DH. You may need a prescription drug to deal with the symptoms of DH, if that is what it is, although a gluten-free diet should, over time resolve the symptoms.
