    More information about "Gatorade and Other Top Brands of Gluten-Free and Gluten-Safe Sports Drinks"
    Celiac.com 01/20/2021 - We get a lot of questions about sports drinks, especially about whether sports drinks are gluten-free, and if so, which ones. Most sports hydration drinks are made with water, sugar, salts and flavorings, along...

    You may want to turn him on to GliadinX. It isn't designed for his situation, but it is better than nothing at all, and could possibly be very helpful.

    I've not seen specific studies on this, however, there have been many stories posted by celiacs on this forum who ended up in the emergency room and were dehydrated and were low on electrolytes. My brother had this happen a few times. I would venture to say that it probably has a lot to do with how much villi damage you have, and the location of that...

    We've done some articles on celiacs and covid-19: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=covid-19&type=cms_records2&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_in=titles and @trents is correct about there not being any documented extra risks for celiacs. There are, however, possibly more risks for celiacs who get covid-19, so getting vaccinated...

    It looks amazing. I'm in Santa Rosa, CA and we don't, as far as I know, have a dedicated gluten-free restaurant here.

    I do think now would be good timing for anyone who ever dreamed of opening a café or restaurant. Many restaurants have gone under due to the pandemic, and this creates opportunity for those interested to get great deals on leases, and buying existing businesses that might be for sale or have gone out of business. With the vaccine rollout and pent up demand ...

    I agree that cross-contamination, bad or no gluten-free training of restaurant staff, as well as mistakes like the one you mentioned, are common in restaurants, even ones that have a gluten-free menu (which can give most celiacs a false sense of security). A couple of years ago I started taking GliadinX (full disclosure they are a site sponsor of ours...

    We've done many articles on this, but the issue is that the research is relatively new, and ongoing. It will take years to get a standardized test to diagnose it, but they already have some good test candidates: More articles on this topic are at: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=non-celiac gluten sensitivity&type=cms_records2...

    If possible can you get hold of the the original blood test results and share them?
  11. Scott Adams
    I would request that your doctor provide you with the results, as they do have them.

    We have something in the USA called "liability," which is a huge motivation for large companies with deep pockets to get claims like this right. I trust that they are actually gluten-free.

    Ok, so if @trents can convince his uncle to go gluten-free, he should make it to 130!!

    But this is because Canada changed their laws to protect their oat industry, not because Cheerios contain more than 20ppm of gluten. Soon after Cheerios put "gluten-free" on their boxes, Canada changed their laws and lowered the level of gluten allowed, but ONLY in products made with oats. All other non-oat products still only had to be below 20ppm. They...

    More information about "Woman's Gluten-Induced Psychosis Sparks Murderous Rage Against Parents"
    Celiac.com 01/19/2021 - Typically, when people with celiac disease eat gluten, they experience gastrointestinal discomfort, or even symptoms like a skin rash, anemia, and headaches. In some extreme cases, though, the side effects could...

    Very interesting indeed. Maybe there is a step by step process that we need to diagram out on how to heal the gut and recover? I am envisioning an article on all things linked to villi damage, and steps to take for recovery. Perhaps a similar one on blood antibodies.

    Over the years I've seen a concerted effort by the wheat industry to paint the gluten-free diet as less healthy than one that contains wheat, which is a fallacy. They do this by publishing "studies" they fund and the results seem to be designed to scare people back to wheat. It seems like a strange approach, but I guess they are just trying to protect their...

    Unfortunately Google frowns on such concise "articles," and you likely would never have found this info had we done that.

    This would definitely make it very difficult to determine how and where you might get contamination. If you eat outside your home consider GliadinX AN-PEP enzymes (a sponsor here), as they have been shown in studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. I've been using them for a couple of years now with positive results.

    Which reminds me that I'm probably overdue for the same...

    This varies a lot from person to person as well, but I experienced similar gut feelings when I ate corn, chicken eggs, tomatoes and dairy (casein) before and after my diagnosis. This was likely due to the leaky gut situation caused by my flattened villi, and I also had internal bleeding due to the celiac lesions found during my biopsy. I had to also eliminate...

    Have a look at this recent study: Note that the rate was higher than 44% among female relatives, so it's actually higher.

    @raspberryfirecracker welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing. I'm aware of mast cell activation, and we've covered it in many of our site's articles: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=mast cell&quick=1&type=cms_records2 and I find your approach of dealing with it using antihistamines and anti-inflammatories interesting, and in our...

    I want to say "welcome back," but you now hold the world record on this forum for the longest member stuck in the denial phase 🙄. Did you know that because your mother has celiac disease you have a greater than 44% chance of also having it? That is what the latest research shows. Regarding your home test kit, technically speaking you're supposed to...
