    This number typically goes down after a few months, so it does make sense to double check your diet to be sure it is 100% gluten-free. Do you eat out at restaurants? I ask because this is a common source of contamination: It is also a good idea to double check any medications you take regularly, as well as lipstick, lip gloss, and cosmetic...

    Were you eating gluten daily until the tests were done? If not, you could have gotten a false negative result. You need to keep eating gluten daily during the weeks leading up to a blood test or biopsy. For me there was immediate relief after going gluten-free, but since I has fairly severe intestinal lesions caused by celiac disease it took me around...

    Be sure that you're eating gluten daily until all testing has been completed. If you start a gluten-free diet before tests for CD it could lead to false negative results. Weight loss is a common symptom of celiac disease.

    My concern is that in-patient facilities like hospitals and elderly care facilities are notoriously bad in dealing with the gluten-free diet. If you go this route be sure they can handle this properly for you.

    As long as it hasn’t been cross-contaminated during milling, pure teff flour is gluten-free. I’m not sure about its oxalate content.

    I can’t speak for other forums, but the info in this forum, which has outstanding long-term moderators, is very good, especially with regard to celiac disease testing. I actually hear far more horror stories coming from bad doctors, for example in this recent thread a poor lady had multiple strong positive celiac blood test results a year ago, yet h...

    Folgers isn’t labeled “gluten-free” but on their site: https://www.folgerscoffee.com/coffees/k-cup-pods/lively-colombian-decaf-k-cup-pods it states: This product does not contain milk, peanut, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, soy, tree nut or wheat allergens. So it is likely naturally gluten-free.

    EDTA has been on our safe list for over 15 years:
  16. Scott Adams
    In Europe Codex Wheat Starch is considered safe for those with celiac disease because it contains less than 20ppm gliadin/gluten. It is not considered safe under USA labeling regulations which state that anything made using wheat as an ingredient, even if the detectable amount of gluten is zero, is not gluten-free. Our articles about Codex wheat...

    If your diet has been 100% gluten-free it is possible that your lactose and alcohol intolerance issues may go away after a couple of years. I had several things I could not tolerate when I was diagnosed, lactose included, but after a few years I was able to eat them again without issues.

    I am not 100% sure how up to date this site's list is, but if you look here: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/newlist.htm Xarelto is listed as "manufacturer doesn’t knowingly add gluten however since they don’t do any final testing they won’t guarantee it to be GF but it is very unlikely that it is contaminated with gluten".

    I've heard that they can be tough to get rid of, but what does this have to do with celiac disease? This is a celiac disease based forum.
  22. Scott Adams
    Consuming too much sugar, like there is in Coke of other sodas, can lead to SIBO (small bowel bacterial overgrowth) as well as a host of other health issues like diabetes and obesity. That said, most are gluten-free and won’t trigger celiac disease.

    Peripheral nephropathy is a symptom of untreated celiac disease, as is high fecal fat content, and both can be caused by other things. It would be worth getting a blood test, and in or to do this you need to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed. There are also home test kits now available if you can't get this through your doctor presently...

    If the celiac blood panel was negative then you likely don't have celiac disease. It is possible you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but this condition generally shows elevated antibodies in testing. Certainly trying a gluten-free diet won't hurt you, just make sure you are getting proper nutrients and fiber. It might be worth a try for a few weeks...
