    Hello @Etoasty, welcome to the forum! Of course it is possible that a batch of their beans was cross contaminated, but so far I've not seen anything at all that would verify this. I monitor product recalls and post them whenever there is a recall.

    If you are outside the USA, for example in Europe, some "gluten-free" breads are made using a very low gluten wheat starch (under 20ppm). You may want to see if this is the case, and if so, change that.

    More information about "Researchers Look at Brain fog and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity"
    Celiac.com 02/01/2021 - Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is poorly understood, particularly in terms of its neurological effects. A team of researchers looking into the matter first conducted a prospective postal survey to investigate...

    Only now are studies being done linking cognitive issues with celiac disease, but those of us who've been on this forum for years already knew this. Here is a recent article we did: and on Monday will be one on a Brain Fog study. Please let us know what you find!

    @Rafea are you on a gluten-free diet? I think in India a big issue might be contamination in spices and other things, for example I got some psyllium fiber powder from India and it tested positive for gluten.
  7. Scott Adams
    Yes, many people with DH get diagnosed that way and it’s the only way to get scientifically confirmed as having it.

    There is some evidence that a dairy intolerance can keep ttg levels high, as was shown in the case of this child:

    It takes some training to get used to it. I wasn't a big fan of it until I got past 40, but now love it. One thing I know, at least here in northern California, there are dozens of goat and sheep's milk cheeses and other products available, and there are some I've had that are much smoother and less sharp. Perhaps read through this to see if you can...

    Can you clarify which antibody test you are giving results for here? To me the fact that your levels dropped so far is a very good sign, and the average time to recovery for celiacs is two years: To be sure you are on the right track it might be a good idea to look closely at your diet to make sure you're not getting cross-contamination. If you...

    The ingredients in it are not exactly the key to good health...tons of sugar, and other stuff. You may have an additional food intolerance, for example to soy or dairy, but according to their site there are no gluten ingredients in them. Keep in mind that McDonald's doesn't claim they are gluten-free, and clearly you personally should avoid them.

    I also believe in universal screening. They've done this at some level in Italy I believe, but this recent study clearly shows the benefit of doing this:

    It looks like your DPG IgG was just below the cutoff, which could mean gluten sensitivity, and I believe you've had past positive blood test results for celiac disease. Keep in mind that those who are sensitive to gluten but may not have full blown celiac disease yet, could get it later. You have the genetic risk, and it runs in your direct family, which...

    Here is more info on that ingredient, and I you may be able to do a workaround this by also taking an OTC enzyme like lactase whenever you take this pill: https://www.drugs.com/inactive/lactose-monohydrate-368.html
  17. Scott Adams
    Technically you should have waited, but if he has celiac disease the test would likely still record something that indicates gluten sensitivity. Keep in mind that if the results are not over the cut off line for celiac disease, this might be due to the gluten-free diet before the test. It's too bad that they didn't mention this, and you may wish to bring...

    Hello @Sabri and welcome to the forum! I will assume that your doctors eliminated some of the possible things like heart disease and various lung diseases that could possibly cause this, just to be on the safe side. Celiac disease can be associated with a condition called "Scleroderma" which can affect the lungs. It's been mentioned on our site...

    Although I don't think it's a common symptom of celiac disease, I have heard of low platelet count before as a symptom, and here is a search of our site where this has been mentioned: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="low platelet"&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy

    A quick search here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ Shows that the Walmart version contains "pregelatinized starch," which could be a concern: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=15973213-0e11-4d18-b437-50b0a593cb7b For questions there is a number to call: 1-888-287-1915. Drugs.com says it is "usually...

    McCormick labels their spices gluten-free now, and even has a GF recipe section on their site: https://www.mccormick.com/recipes/gluten-free

    Pure coincidence, but we just published a summary of a study on this very topic:

    For well over 20 years now prescribing PPI's was the "go to" for many doctors when dealing with almost any digestive issue. I was prescribed them during the worst part of my pre-diagnosis time period. The scary thing was that they did mask some of my symptoms, but I quit them after a short time because they were not the cure to my issues. However, many people...

    Hello @Gigi3 and welcome to the forum! It's interesting that you were prescribed Valtrex for DH. I've heard of it prescribed for canker sores and shingles, and it seems to help with itching when I read about it. I wonder why this isn't used more commonly for DH? Dapsone is commonly prescribed, but it has many known bad side effects.

    Definitely get your doctor’s opinion on this, but give. everything you’ve shared I thing you’ve got two kids who need to be gluten-free. Be sure to share the study on rates of celiac disease among families with your doctor. They may not have the latest info on this.
