I'm not sure I've heard this question before, but it is an interesting one. Flipping through the pages could easily spread gluten around. I can only tell you what I would do in this case, which is take the book and cards outside and flip through the pages quickly a dozen or more times to get any flour out. Do the same with the cards. When using either in... -
There are pros and cons to an official diagnosis that everyone should consider. Once you are diagnosed you will be faced with higher life, and possibly health, insurance rates, for the rest of your life. Life insurance could also be harder to get. The pros to getting diagnosed is that you can get follow up testing and care that your insurance would likely...

Clearly this is a big issue for the certification organization, and it may take lawsuits to stop this from happening. You can't blame the GFCO for this though, as it is clearly rogue food companies putting this on their products without authorization. In reality, the GF and use of "gluten-free" is tough to protect via a trademark. For example, way back...

Please back up your claims with links to these "independent" tests.

Have you looked all of the inactive ingredients? Perhaps you are sensitive to one of them? I use Nature Made available at Costco, and one thing I recall is that it's very important to get fresh fish oil, as it can turn rancid if it sits for weeks before you take it. Costco has a very high turnover, thus it generally is fresh when you buy it.

Yes, this is interesting, and I do like the approach in treatment of not using drugs that cut acid production as a first resort.

The number one reason is not being 100% gluten-free, perhaps because you eat at restaurants, or you've got something you eat regularly that is contaminated. Other reasons include the following, and we happen to have an article that will be live in a couple of days just this topic: Lactose Intolerance Helicobacter Pylori Small Bowel...

Gluten Free Yogurt Brands
Scott Adams replied to Meena's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
On our safe list this would be "Gelatin," which is gluten-free: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Numbering_System_for_Food_Additives -
I just want to point out that there is an increased risk of T-Cell Lymphoma in those with untreated celiac disease, and this is usually diagnosed in the same year as a celiac disease diagnosis. I don't want to scare you, as this is a rare condition, but here are some articles on it, and you may want to discuss this with your doctor, as I believe weight loss...

Is there any chance it contains oats? Around 10% of celiac cannot tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free oats.

A genetic test is a good way to go for your mom! If she has the genetic makeup she should follow up with a screening for celiac disease. -

Welcome to the forum! Yes, it would be great if you can provide us with the cut off marker for your TTG test. That would give us more information about where you stand with regard to possibly having celiac disease.

Around 44% of first-degree relatives will also have or get celiac disease, so be sure to talk with your family about it and encourage them to get a blood test. -
This finding is definitely interesting and well hopefully lead to better treatments for COVID-19, and I’m glad to see that there is research which shows that people with celiac disease are at no higher risk for complications due to COVID-19.

The next step might by an endoscopy, and if you do this you need to eat gluten daily for at least two weeks before for the results to be accurate. I would not worry too much about how much damage there might be at this point, because that's why the endoscopy is done, to find this out. If you do have gut damage it will start healing immediately on a gluten...
