  1. 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:
  2. 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:
  3. 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.
  4. Note to self: Start an illegal vitamin & supplement smuggling operation into Europe... 😁
  5. Celiac.com 04/22/2021 - This version of Dutch Eggs is basically an eggs Benedict served over salmon, instead of English Muffins. One of my favorite ways to enjoy springtime asparagus is broiled with soft-boiled eggs on top. This recipe...
  6. I agree with keeping a food diary to find additional food intolerance issues. I also wonder if you’re not getting too much fiber, which can cause bloating and constipation.
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. Celiac.com 04/21/2021 - Anyone with celiac knows that carrying a good gluten-free snack or energy bar can be a lifesaver. Our recent article pointing out that Clif Bar products are not gluten-free, drew out more questions about which energy...
  11. Celiac.com 04/20/2021 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is marked by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms triggered by gluten-containing foods, but with no celiac disease or wheat allergy. There are currently no known biomarkers...
  12. 06/20/2024 - Update: DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza was reformulated, and is now 100% gluten AND wheat-free. Gluten-free wheat starch is no longer used in the product, and I can say that the new forumula tastes outstanding! This excellent...
  13. It might be worth getting a blood test for celiac disease, just to rule it out. There are home test kits now for under $100. You must keep eating gluten daily to be able to get accurate results.
  14. 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...
  15. 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.
  16. Celiac.com 04/17/2021 - We get a lot of questions here about what products may contain gluten. One question we've seen a lot recently is about yogurt. Specifically, is Chobani yogurt gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease...
  17. 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.
  18. Vodka is distilled and therefore gluten-free, no matter what it’s made from.
  19. 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...
  20. 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...
