    I've not heard of this being related to going gluten-free, but have experienced this myself when I used to eat gluten and had reactions to it. Here is a search of our site where others discussed this as a symptom: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=pulse&search_and_or=and You may want to get screened for high blood pressure, and shift your...

    It's hard to tell by your description, hopefully you didn't swallow any, but just in case: Also, I have GliadinX enzymes handy for such times.

    This is interesting, but would not be enough to make me exclude quinoa in my diet, as I just don't eat it often enough to be concerned, plus I've never had a negative reaction to it. However, anyone who is eating lots of quinoa should take note. It would be interesting to find out how widespread the 2 toxic strains are in the food supply.

    I will admin that it's hard to recall all the details, but at the time of my diagnosis I have flattened villi, major diarrhea, had lost weight, had helicobacter pryori, and had leaky gut. I had additional temporary food intolerance issues to diary, chicken eggs, tomatoes, garlic among other things. The lower right pain in my gut started feeling better...

    I will assume you've been on your diet for a few weeks, but normally you would add a food back and record any issues you have afterwards. A "gut test" like this isn't the most accurate way to figure out additional food sensitivities, and there are companies like Cell Science Systems and their ALCAT tests that do this more accurately, and I'm in the process...

    I've never tried them, but have tried a similar product. Many people favor the Nima Sensor for ease of use, and a faster test result. It looks like a bit of a science lab setup to run a test, so it may not be practical for doing in a restaurant, but would be better for home use.

    I recall that I had lower-right side pain until I was finally diagnosed and went gluten-free. It did take months for it to get better.

    I just did the Sundance Film Festival Award Winners online. Many film festivals are now online, so you can enjoy them safely.

    The best one for accidental gluten ingestion is GliadinX, which is a sponsor here. Their AN-PEP enzyme has been shown to be effective in multiple studies. I'm not sure what your goal is for taking enzymes. My goal was being able to eat out but was worried about cross-contamination, even if the restaurant had a gluten-free menu.

    When you say your blood tests were negative, can you share your values, and the range? Sometimes people have high values that are just below the cut off, and combined with mild villi blunting, your ongoing symptoms, and the fact you were on PPI's for so many years, to me those exact levels would be important. At the very least you may have non-celiac gluten...

    The article is quite old, and is archived, but it is possible to process an ingredient, for example hydrolyzed wheat protein, to the point where it would test below 20ppm. That said, you would need to decide whether or not you would like to include this in your diet. It is likely gluten-free, but apparently does use barley to make that ingredient. It might...

    More information about "Is Captain Crunch Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 02/09/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently made up a list of Cheerios, Chex, and nearly one hundred gluten-free breakfast cereals. We've also compiled a List of...

    Since you had a positive blood test (and feel free if you'd like to share those results with us), AND your long-standing symptoms went away on a gluten-free diet, AND have come back with a vengeance on your current gluten challenge, all of this together would be enough for me, but I'm not your doctor. Most people need the formal diagnosis to stay on...

    Although I've not seen any verification of this, I've heard others complain about this: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=sheetrock&quick=1 Gluten is used to make many commercial glues, so it would not surprise me if it were used to gluten the paper to the rock.

    A long time ago I used to get Jamba Juice with a wheat grass shot, which at the time they claimed was gluten-free. It is gluten-free it if is always 100% grass, however, when I watched them cut the grass in front of me I noticed that some unsprouted kernels/seeds had been pushed up by the growing grass, and were just sitting there mixed into the grass. The...

    This is interesting, do you wear an N95 dust mask when handling it? It seems like wearing a mask, and perhaps goggles, might help. Many who are very sensitive do report issues with only skin contact, and this would likely be hard for you to avoid.

    More information about "Anti-tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies May Be Associated with Cow's Milk Protein in Addition to Gluten Intake"
    Celiac.com 02/08/2021 - Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) are a strong indicator of celiac disease, but positive anti-tTG antibodies have also been reported in some non-celiac patients. A team of researchers recently set out...

    It’s possible that your numbers could be a bit lower that than they would be had you not skipped those days, so keep this in mind when you get the results, but I would still do the tests sooner if I were you.

    The normal procedure is to recheck your diet and make sure it is 100% gluten-free, as even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger the DH rash. Do you eat outside your home? In restaurants? If so this could be the culprit. Other common issues are with oats or other grains that might be contaminated.
  24. Scott Adams
    If the positive cutoff for this test result is 14.9, and you are at 81.6, I think that’s very high and would be pretty definitive: TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA (U/ML) Your value 81.6 U/mL Standard range<=14.9 U/mL Definitely discuss this with your doctor.

    Do you have a link to this research, as quinoa is considered gluten-free and safe for celiacs. Of course celiacs may have other food intolerances.
