Gluten Widrawal?
Scott Adams replied to Scarlletts's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Gluten withdrawal is a real thing, but he should be past this after 4 months. Is it possible he's getting gluten in his diet at school? My kids both have medium peanut allergies, and their daycare was terrible about not dealing with it. This article covers gluten withdrawal in more detail: -
on and off tummy pains
Scott Adams replied to MADMOM's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It could be because you are still healing, the average time for a full recovery from celiac disease is two years. It could also be a contamination issue, so you may want to re-check your diet, including meds, supplements, etc. Do you eat out? This would be a very common source of contamination. This article may be helpful: -
Most people are now being diagnosed with blood tests alone, so if you'd like to share your test results along with the cut off markers for celiac disease it will offer more info, but yes, positive blood tests are normally very difficult to explain away, and likely require a gluten-free diet, no matter what the biopsy results are.

are you going to take the vaccine
Scott Adams replied to DJFL77I's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Here it is now reached the opposite state: the teachers are all vaccinated, and now they are calling the students back, who are unvaccinated! Starting 4/26 there is a "hybrid" version of school for those who want to return. They will supposedly wear masks and socially distance...in the classroom. Good luck with that. I opted my daughter to continue to study... -
You probably understand that these pure oat farmers could not possibly supply companies like General Mills with enough oats at a reasonable price point that they would not have to drastically increase their prices, thus they pursued their own technology to deal with contamination. Canada responded by protecting their pure oat farmers and won't allow...

It would be good to know more about what you mean by "we also have a mills who do it 100 % clean." Do you mean these oat farmers do not grow any wheat in their fields, share transportation equipment, and don't mill any gluten containing grains? Of course this would be the ideal, however, this creates expensive products, thus General Mills spent millions...

How long to recover after accidentally eating gluten
Scott Adams replied to pokey449's topic in Super Sensitive People
I think most doctors can properly diagnose celiac disease nowadays, however, the biggest mistakes I see which are still made regularly have to do with not informing their patients that they must continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed (at least 2 weeks before a biopsy, and 6 weeks before blood tests). Errors like these leave many people... -
It looks like it could be DH, so be sure to tell your doctor. They may want to have a dermatologist biopsy it for DH.

Wanting to start a business
Scott Adams replied to DadofGlutenfreedaughters2's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Not to discourage you, but I can say starting any online retail business now is harder that ever, mainly because of how huge Amazon and now Walmart, have become for online shopping. -

Allergist recommendations? Anyone?
Scott Adams replied to Lotte18's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Antibody levels will start dropping as soon as you go gluten-free, but it can take months for them to get into the normal range again, but being 100% gluten-free is critical for this to happen. In some people TTg levels may correlate with gut damage, but not in everyone. We’ve had people here who had very high levels, but negative biopsy results. In some p... -
Yes, you can have a positive blood test, which is true for both of the TTG blood tests you had, which are very specific for celiac disease, AND a negative biopsy, so I would definitely consider yourself celiac, and start on a gluten-free diet (did your doctor recommend this yet?). Also, gluten neuropathy and nerve damage is definitely common in celiacs...
