  1. This article is from 2008, and it does make some interesting points, but does also have some issues.
  2. Yes, I was thinking in terms of cooking oil, but thank you for pointing that out. Corn oil should be safe, as well as olive oil, and others.
  3. Just go to our home page to see the latest articles: https://www.celiac.com/ and our forum for the latest posts: https://www.celiac.com/forums/
  4. I don't know much about Gluten Cutter, but out of all the supplements that are designed to break down gluten in the stomach AN-PEP based ones like GliadinX have the best scientific studies that back them up (FYI: they are a sponsor here).
  5. Welcome to the forum. It would be interesting to see your blood test results with the high mark level for each. Given your doctor's reaction "GI: You can't eat or shouldn't eat gluten anymore, but as of right now, results don't show enough evidence for celiac" I think it's safe to say that your antibody levels to gliadin were probably elevated, but maybe...
  6. I can't guarantee that a random bottle of corn oil purchased in India would be gluten-free, but again, gluten in oil manufacturing would be bad in many ways...the oil would likely not be clear. I've never heard of wheat oil or barley oil, so I really can't imagine that the machinery used to make corn oil would be used for anything else.
  7. Given your classic symptoms, I'm not sure you would want to pursue a formal diagnosis, as you'd need to eat gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before a biopsy, however most doctors first want to do a celiac disease blood panel, which requires you to eat gluten daily for ~6 weeks:
  8. Interestingly there is a recent study that shows that Anti-tissue Transglutaminase levels, at least in some people, my also be elevated by dairy. Have you ever gone dairy-free? It's a small study so I'm a little skeptical, as those in the study may have been getting small amount of gluten contamination in their diets.
  9. Most of the small business incentives I've seen offered, at least on a national level, are SBA (Small Business Association) loans, which are typically very low interest rate loans for first time startup businesses. Usually you can get such loans through your bank, but here is the Web site with more info: https://www.sba.gov/ There may also be local incentives...
  10. Unfortunately, "normal" according to many doctors might be a TTG score of 8, when the cut-off for celiac disease is <9. Having a score of 8 in this case, in my opinion, is not normal. Perhaps you can ask your doctor for the exact results, along with the cut-off markers for a positive test? To me, many of these "normal" results may still indicate gluten...
  11. Any chance you could share your last celiac test results with us?
  12. It’s possible anything could get contaminated with gluten, but it’s pretty unlikely that olive, corn, or other naturally gluten-free oils would be contaminated.
  13. We’ve done a lot of articles on the thyroid and celiac connection: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/ To me is sounds like you are likely gluten sensitive, and the best you’ve done in the past is when you were on a gluten-free diet for an extended time. Consider goi...
  14. “the TTG levels skyrocketed to >150 U/ML (Normal <7).” In Europe the current protocol is to diagnose celiac disease if you TTG are 10x above the high marker—no biopsy needed. Also TTG is very specific to gluten, and I’m not aware of any parasitic infections that raise TTG levels.
  15. Celiac.com 03/20/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain popular products are gluten-free, especially processed food products. One question we see a lot is about a product called JUST Egg...
  16. You are interpreting the blood test results incorrectly. Where you list results as “a complete reversal,” you were actually just under the borderline, so you are still high, but just not high enough to call it “celiac disease.” Clearly your body has been having an autoimmune reaction to gluten in each of these blood tests, and you probably should’ve had ...
  17. Celiac.com 03/19/2021 - Even in light of the FDA ruling that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we get lots of questions about alcohol, especially flavored alcohols, such as Malibu Rum. We recently did an article clarifying that Malibu...
  18. 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.
  19. 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:
  20. 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.
  21. 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...
