Celiac.com 08/25/2020 - A number of studies describe psychological disorders, in addition to other extra intestinal manifestations of celiac disease, such as fatigue, neurological conditions including headache and neuropathy. However,... -
To me it seems that you have some pretty severe absorption issues that you should discuss with your doctor. It would probably make sense for them to check various vitamin and mineral levels in your blood, and even follow up and do celiac disease antibody tests to make sure you've been 100% gluten-free. If you eat out you should stop doing that for a while...

FDA Rules All Distilled Alcohol is Gluten-Free
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Safe & Unsafe Foods & Ingredients
Well the article you post here basically complains that it is too sensitive and it detects Gluten at lower than 20 ppm… I think most people here would think that’s a good thing not a bad thing, and it says the following (which indicates that it is still a very good tool to have with you when there is really nothing else available like it): “Nima is subst... -

Nima sensors are definitely not a bust...they are highly accurate and there is nothing comparable to them on the market. This article has more info: -
FDA Rules All Distilled Alcohol is Gluten-Free
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Safe & Unsafe Foods & Ingredients
Distillation removes all traces of grains...I don't doubt that recovering celiacs my not tolerate many things until their gut heals, however, drinking distilled spirits made from grains should not cause flattened villi or trigger celiac disease. -

Biopsy during COVID-19?
Scott Adams replied to alienb0yfriend's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The current recommendation for children is to diagnose celiac disease without a biopsy, and it's unclear to me why the same recommendation wouldn't also be true for adults. More and more doctors are diagnosing celiac disease without a biopsy, so perhaps discuss this with your doctor. To do the biopsy you would need to continue eating gluten daily until... -
It sounds like it could be DH @NeverLikedRollercoasters, and you should probably get tested for it and celiac disease if you haven't yet been tested. To get tested you'd need to continue eating gluten daily until after the tests are done.

Crazy Idea???
Scott Adams replied to Days Off's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Taking that many pills would not be very appeasing to many people...they carry a choking risk, there may be cellulose or other ingredients in the capsules that would likely make taking so many a turn off. There are many nutritional shakes out there that claim to do exactly what you are proposing. Ensure makes a line of them and they are at Costco. I... -

According to this list, lomotil is gluten-free, although I'm not sure how old this info is: https://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Glutenlist.htm -
Alcat performs food sensitivity testing that covers over 150 foods.

Professional help is a good idea due to this food sensory issue. There are gluten-free chicken nuggets out there that are good, as well as everything else. Please let us know how things go.

I recommend that you try duck eggs. They can be found in farmer's markets and/or Asian supermarkets (do not buy ones that have a red Sharpie marker mark on them, they contain baby ducks and are a delicacy in parts of Asia). I had a temporary chicken egg intolerance that went away a few years after I went gluten-free, and switched to duck eggs then which...

Do you drink any liquor straight? Favorite alcohol?

Do you drink any liquor straight? Favorite alcohol?
Scott Adams replied to JM12's topic in Super Sensitive People
My experience in running this site for 25 years is that there are tons of things that people with celiac disease might also react to that are gluten-free, and this is no good reason to not be able to label them as gluten-free. -
Reaction to gluten
Scott Adams replied to Hilary D's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
After going gluten-free for a while some celiacs get super sensitive to gluten, and even tiny amounts can cause them great distress. This will be a concern for you because if your doctor wants you to wait months to get an endoscopy you should technically probably still be eating gluten until that is finished, because your results would likely be false... -

Scott Adams replied to JM12's topic in Super Sensitive People
The FDA's new ruling makes it so that distilled spirits, no matter their source, can be labelled "gluten-free." The same is true for distilled vinegar: https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2020/08/fda-ruling-allows-gluten-free-labelling-on-spirits/ -
