    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.

    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...

    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...

    Any chance you could share your last celiac test results with us?

    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.

    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...

    “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.

    More information about "Is JUST Egg Gluten-Free?"
    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...

    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 ...

    More information about "Gluten-Free Cocktails with Malibu Rum"
    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...

    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.

    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:

    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.

    From the article:

    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...

    Distilled alcohol, not matter its source, is considered gluten-free, but if you want to be on the super safe side just get those which are made without:

    If you went 3 weeks gluten-free before your blood test it would likely cause the results to be false negative. Be sure to read this article and you may want to reschedule and possibly re-take tests accordingly:

    Your doctor is correct, to be able to diagnose celiac disease you must eat gluten daily for a time before the tests:

    I too got full blown celiac disease directly after getting a serious stomach but while travelling in England. I thought it was food poisoning at the time, but it certainly could have been a virus like rotavirus. Interestingly, rotavirus has been linked as a possible trigger for celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=rotavirus&type...

    I agree with you about oxalates causing many people issues, and we've don't some great articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=oxalate&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles Thanks for the info and links, it might be time for another article on this topic. PS - Lectins are another interesting...

    My brother got on the raw milk craze for a few years. The natural probiotics that milk contains get destroyed during pasteurization, but he had issues digesting pasteurized milk, but none with raw milk. Evidently raw milk also has anti-inflammatory properties. I'm not a milk fan no matter what type it is, but do love cheese, and this analogy also holds for...

    Welcome to the forum! It might be too late now, but when I eat out I always take 1-2 GliadinX enzymes (they are a sponsor here but don't pay me to post things like this), which contain AN-PEP enzymes, which have been shown in more than 5 studies to effectively break down small amounts of gluten in the gut.
