  1. Why not just get a celiac disease blood panel? It's certainly possible his symptoms are caused by gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, but the only way to find out would be to test for it:
  2. Did you get a blood panel for celiac disease? This is the first step before a biopsy, and I recommend doing it before going 100% gluten-free. You need to be eating gluten daily for at least two weeks before an endoscopy, and 6 weeks before a blood test. Nearly all of your symptoms could be directly related to undiagnosed celiac disease, and/or gluten...
  3. It seems like you could get mineral deficiencies from drinking only distilled water, as many minerals are in tap water.
  4. It's frustrating that you endured extra years suffering, which some simple tests could have been done years ago to figure this out. Your story reinforces the idea that the only person who will truly look after your health is yourself, and not necessarily doctors. They are often too busy to really focus on you, or are missing the symptoms and key knowledge...
  5. When I started taking magnesium citrate, and I use Nature Made from Costco as it is priced much better than most, I had to get used to it over a few weeks, during which I had to start and stop taking it a few times until my body got used to it, and the laxative effects went a way. It took me about a month to adjust to it.
  6. Celiac.com 03/30/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about alcoholic seltzer. Specifically, which brands of gluten-free seltzer are...
  7. Any possibility all of the anti-vax hype surrounding this particular vaccine could have had something to do with this?
  8. The links in the article still work. When checking the status It says: To me it looks dead...most likely killed by the drug industry.
  9. Are you taking the test to see where your current antibody levels stand, perhaps to see if you are getting gluten in your diet? The test isn't really designed for that, but follow up tests can be helpful to see if your levels are dropping, which they should be. Do you eat outside your home? This is another common source of contamination.
  10. Are you by chance eating oats? Around 10% of celiacs cannot tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free oats. Also, have you tried eliminating dairy?
  11. It hasn't gone anywhere yet, but we'll report on this should anything change.
  12. I've not heard of this being associated with celiac disease, but it's possible. Be sure to follow up with this with your doctor.
  13. You have a friend who got a knee brace to help cope with gluten sensitivity? Really?
  14. Celiac.com 03/29/2021 - A team of researchers recently set out to analyze the connection between celiac disease and depression in children, adolescents, and young adults with Type 1 diabetes. For their study, the team looked at nearly...
  15. It’s possible that the diet will help normalize your thyroid issues, if they are caused by gluten sensitivity. I hope the diet works for you, and keep us posted on your progress.
  16. I agree and hope it’s a temporary condition, but nowadays having celiac isn’t so bad, at least in comparison to having it in the 90’s of before, where you’d be looked at like a space alien when you talked about it with almost anyone—and especially at restaurants!
  17. You may need to call them directly to ask, I could not find anything on the Internet with the ingredients.
  18. There have been many posts on Lyme Disease over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=lyme&search_and_or=and and it used to be a very popular topic. Some research has been done on this connection as well, including this study which does show a small connection:
  19. PS - I think the high blood score is unlikely to be caused by anything else, but it’s possible. You could keep eating gluten until you can get another blood test, and next time get a full celiac blood panel done.
  20. Welcome to the forum! It’s known that certain viruses can trigger celiac disease, so it is interesting that yours may have been triggered by COVID-19. We just published an article showing that Covid does change the microbe balance in the gut:
  21. Please let us know how it goes. Feel free to share the results with us.
  22. Just make sure the meds are gluten-free! Yes, some use wheat starch and other ingredients. This list may be helpful for food ingredients:
