In addition to oats, many celiacs, at least temporarily, have issues with casein and possibly other foods. I had 5-6 temporary food intolerance issues that mostly went away after being gluten-free for 1-2 years. -
Yes, re-check your diet and be sure there is no hidden gluten, and note that gluten-free breads often contain high levels of xanthan gum, which can cause gastro issues in some people:

I would guess that those would be similar to the straws, where it may be possible that wheat starch is used to make the plastic, at least in Europe and other countries, but corn starch would typically be used for USA products. We may do an article on this topic at some point.

Rash & Bumps on Fingers?
Scott Adams replied to BME21's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
From the article: -
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert due to misbranding. The chicken soup product contains and declares wheat as an ingredient but has an incorrect statement of "gluten free" on the top label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers with allergic reactions t...

Distilled alcohol, not matter its source, is considered gluten-free, but if you want to be on the super safe side just get those which are made without:

Rash & Bumps on Fingers?
Scott Adams replied to BME21's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you went 3 weeks gluten-free before your blood test it would likely cause the results to be false negative. Be sure to read this article and you may want to reschedule and possibly re-take tests accordingly: -
Scott Adams' Story of His Diagnosis of Celiac Disease
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Diagnosis, Testing & Treatment
Your doctor is correct, to be able to diagnose celiac disease you must eat gluten daily for a time before the tests: -
I too got full blown celiac disease directly after getting a serious stomach but while travelling in England. I thought it was food poisoning at the time, but it certainly could have been a virus like rotavirus. Interestingly, rotavirus has been linked as a possible trigger for celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=rotavirus&type...

I agree with you about oxalates causing many people issues, and we've don't some great articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=oxalate&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles Thanks for the info and links, it might be time for another article on this topic. PS - Lectins are another interesting...

My brother got on the raw milk craze for a few years. The natural probiotics that milk contains get destroyed during pasteurization, but he had issues digesting pasteurized milk, but none with raw milk. Evidently raw milk also has anti-inflammatory properties. I'm not a milk fan no matter what type it is, but do love cheese, and this analogy also holds for...

I Think I Accidentally Ate Gluten
Scott Adams replied to antibread's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Welcome to the forum! It might be too late now, but when I eat out I always take 1-2 GliadinX enzymes (they are a sponsor here but don't pay me to post things like this), which contain AN-PEP enzymes, which have been shown in more than 5 studies to effectively break down small amounts of gluten in the gut. This article may also be helpful: -
We're kind of off this topic a bit, but should any of their trauma work on celiac disease get published in peer-reviewed medical journals we'll likely summarize it on this site, as we did with the stress-related disorders and autoimmune study. Thanks for the info.
-
Welcome to the forum @BThompson! Trauma can definitely cause lots of stress for many people, which is never good. We summarized some research here on this, but it is highly doubtful, and I've not seen any evidence yet, that celiac disease or any other autoimmune disease can be cured via mental therapy, although it may certainly help those affected to lower...

I've not seen any evidence that eggs, milk or meat from animals that are fed gluten is not gluten-free:

Going gluten-free for a while, then adding it back can cause more severe symptoms for many celiacs. There seems to be a percentage of us that get super sensitive after going gluten-free for a time. Not to discourage you, but you must weigh out for yourself the value of the end goal here, which is a formal diagnosis--it sounds like you already know what...

It seems that cow's milk (casein) can also raise certain antibodies in some people, so consider cutting this out for a time:

Wish Me Luck
Scott Adams replied to Moogle39's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Good luck and let us know how it goes. This article might be helpful: -
A month is not enough time to recover, but if this symptom has started after you went gluten-free, but you didn't have it before, it would be strange. The first and most important thing is to be 100% sure your diet is gluten-free. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet that day? Some celiac have stronger symptoms to gluten ingestion after going gluten...

Pls help me figure this out
Scott Adams replied to ShortStuff123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum! The only way for you to know for sure if you have celiac disease is to get a blood test for it, and you need to be eating gluten daily for at least 6 weeks beforehand: If your symptoms are too severe to allow you to do this you may consider just going gluten-free for a few months to see if the diet helps. It sounds like you... -

Are M&M's Gluten-Free and Safe for Celiacs?
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
It looks like you are in Australia, and our lists and this site focuses on the USA. We'll update this article to note that in Australia and perhaps other countries they may contain wheat starch and not be gluten-free. Also note what the article says: "The following ten other M&M's flavors tested negative for wheat or gluten, including several that...
