    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?
  4. 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...

    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.

    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...

    Supplements should help, but of course the main thing is to cut out all gluten, which it sounds like you've done.

    It's not 100% clear from your first post whether you've been maintaining a gluten-free diet for the 2.5 years, as you mentioned eating a hamburger and fries. Did the hamburger have a gluten-free bun? Did you order it at a restaurant? If you eat out, that is a likely source of contamination. You are on the right track with re-checking your diet to make...

    This can vary greatly from individual to individual. Super sensitive people claim they get severe symptoms only minutes after ingesting gluten, while other may have no symptoms at all. Some people say it takes 24-48 hours, which can make it very hard to identify the source of contamination. How long and severe the symptoms are can also vary greatly. Generally...
  22. Scott Adams
    Yes, it is a possibility that your celiac disease, similarly to Type I diabetes, kicked in at that time. If you keep eating gluten I suspect your symptoms would continue to get worse and worse, and you may end up with full blown celiac disease with flattened villi and malabsorption of nutrients (trust me that you don't want to go there!).
  23. Scott Adams
    Here are some articles on villi damage from other foods besides gluten. They are quite old, but I will try to find newer ones:

    Casein intolerance...but you'd have to look at some of the summaries there.
  25. Scott Adams
    Good question. We have some really old summaries here, and I'll bet there is a lot more that have been done on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/casein-cows-milk-intolerance-and-celiac-disease/
