    To me it sounds like you are experiencing a normal reaction to the vaccine--your immune system has been activated, which it should be, and is now developing antibodies against covid. Severe reactions typically occur during the first 30 minutes to 4 hours, although there are probably examples where some people had severe reactions later. A sore arm and chills...

    A couple of years ago we did an article summarizing a study on this which found no connection:

    Welcome to the forum! If you were to tell them about your diagnosis it would likely disqualify you. I am pretty sure that the reason they are asking this question is to rule out anyone with genetically higher risk of autoimmune and other diseases. 😞 PS - This is a very interesting question, and I'm not sure it's been asked here before.

    I just had an ALCAT test done and will be doing an article about this. I have not yet received my results. I will be asking questions to the company owner about their gluten sensitivity testing, as well as their other tests.

    Like most things this good, it's probably best to have them only once in a while for a special treat. It's nice to have the option again!

    We have added their "CYA" warning to this article, but did mention that they do not claim that their bars are gluten-free, and are gluten-free by ingredient.

    Welcome to the forum. For a gluten challenge the normal amount and time for a blood test would be at least 6 weeks and one slice of wheat bread per day, and for a biopsy it's 2 weeks at one slice per day: If you were to get a positive blood test your doctor may want to confirm it with a biopsy, and it's my understanding that there could be a long wait...

    This site shows that it doesn't contain any gluten ingredients: https://www.rxlist.com/np-thyroid-drug.htm

    I think it would be a good idea to get a paper copy of your test results, and share them if you can. Sometimes "negative" isn't so negative, if you know what I mean. People with celiac disease are around 1% of the population, but those with gluten sensitivity are around ~10%, and there currently no test available for non-celiac gluten sensitivity (but some...

    More information about "Aspirin (NSAIDs) and Acid Suppression Drugs (PPIs) Associated with Seronegative Celiac Disease"
    02/17/2021 - Celiac disease rates in the US have increased in past decades, along with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs), aspirin (ASA) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)...

    Understood, and if the doctor wants an endoscopy to confirm CD then he should be eating gluten daily, not once or twice a week. I guess my perspective on this is all or nothing--if you want to confirm this then do the gluten challenge properly--if you are too concerned about your son's current health and slow growth, then you may need to forgo an official...

    I do not believe any of the inactive ingredients listed would contain any gluten. I wish companies would simply put "gluten-free" on their labels when this is the case.

    Be sure to see a dermatologist about the fungal rash, as it may not be related to celiac disease, and may be treatable with an anti-fungal cream or spray.

    I also take a B complex with vitamin C, as well as vitamins D and E. I also had issues with tingling and numbness in my feet, and it wasn't until I began taking Benfotiamine (a lab-made version of vitamin B1, also called thiamine), as wells as Magnesium Citrate, that my neuropathy issues have improved (over 25 years after going gluten-free, and taking multiple...

    My understanding of the OP, which could be wrong, is that their son was borderline with their celiac blood test results, but he was also on a mostly gluten-free diet. Now they want to confirm this, and the only way to do that would be a gluten challenge--eating a slice of wheat bread daily for at least 6 weeks. If my summary here is correct, then to...

    I was in my mid-twenties when I was diagnosed, and was also focused on gaining weight after losing some, so the main focus of my diet for around two years became rice, potatoes, meats, soy, as well as most vegetables and fruits. As @knitty kitty points out, there are now more focused diets that tackle many autoimmune issues that can be triggered by foods...

    Hello @Neytiri, it sounds like you're slipping down the conspiracy theory hole with regard to the vaccines, which could be risky to you and others. The more people who take the vaccine, the more likely everyone won't need to worry about getting covid-19 in the future. Polio also mutates, and it was very close to being totally eliminated in the 1970's and...

    It's great to hear that you are on the road to recovery after going gluten-free. The average time to recovery is 2 years, and this means being 100% gluten-free during that time, so it can take a while for some issues to resolve. Note that if you eat outside your home, for example in restaurants, the risk of cross-contamination is high. The rash could...

    Yes, it is hard to believe the new gluten-free Oreos are gluten-free, isn't it? They do taste exactly as I remember them.

    Please share with us their response, it could be helpful to others.

    So you didn't eat anything else yesterday? It seems strange that they would add "gluten-free" on their packaging if there is a chance of cross-contamination, but it's possible. Have you called them? That is what I would do. It would be interesting to hear their response.

    I've seen this study but am a bit skeptical of it's findings. While I do believe that people with celiac disease are more prone to have additional food intolerance issues, I don't believe that the cause is due to "molecule mimicry" or what this describes as "cross-reactivity." Additional food intolerances are likely separate issues, and they can be temporary...

    Does this chili powder have "gluten-free" on the label? Just curious, because I've never had issues with their spices.

    Welcome, and it sounds like you're on the right track by getting the blood screening for celiac disease. Please share the results with us when you get them. Your symptoms could definitely be due to undiagnosed celiac disease, among other things. It sounds like your doctor is on the ball, and scheduling the various tests necessary to rule things in or...
