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... -
Does she have celiac disease? Is she on a gluten-free diet?

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... -
Celiac disease

According to this list, lomotil is gluten-free, although I'm not sure how old this info is: https://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Glutenlist.htm -
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?

Why post in a thread on your favorite alcoholic beverages if you don't drink? -
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... -
Do you drink any liquor straight? Favorite alcohol?
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/ -
I'm not sure about the specific test you are seeking, but genetic testing for celiac disease markers is very common now, and many companies offer it. Even 23AndMe.com offers a genetic screening for it, but there are likely other specialty companies that offer more specific results than the generic ones.

Celiac Test Results Confusing

Lymphocyte count for people with Celiac’s
Scott Adams replied to RaphaelP's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree with @trents and would bring this up with your doctor. I don't think this would be celiac disease-related. -
To me the images seem consistent with DH, but to confirm this you'd need to go to a dermatologist who understands DH and knows how to do the biopsy. Can I assume that you are eating gluten daily? If not, your test may be a false negative. If you are eating gluten I'd also recommend that you get a blood screening done for celiac disease:

PS—I can’t read the studies for you—you need to do that on your own if you’re genuinely interested in this topic...I’ve presented them, and if you won’t read them and continue with unfounded negative comments you’re clearly just trolling this thread.
