    I'm not sure if you have access to seeing a dermatologist, but the best way to tell if it is dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin condition associated with celiac disease, would be to have a biopsy on one of the blisters. The second best way to tell would be a celiac disease blood screening, which would at least alert you to an issue with gliadin/gluten...

    Don’t panic, most people with Covid-19 have mild symptoms and recover fine. If you can, monitor your temperature so you can provide that info with the doc or nurse. Get some rest and stay hydrated. Let us know how it goes.

    If your daughter has been gluten-free the biopsy and future blood test will likely be false negative now. You should follow the doctor’s recommendation, but read this and perhaps share it with the doc:

    It looks like they may be naturally gluten-free, but are not labelled GF: https://www.planters.com/product/00029000023864 Allergens Milk Ingredients DEGERMINATED YELLOW CORN MEAL, SOYBEAN AND/OR CORN AND/OR CANOLA OIL, DRIED CHEESE BLEND (WHEY [FROM MILK], SEMISOFT CHEESE [PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT ENZYMES], SUNFLOWER OIL...

    More information about "Is Cross-Reaction between Gliadin and Different Food and Tissue Antigens a Celiac Disease Myth?"
    Celiac.com 04/01/2020 - Some people with celiac disease have symptoms even when they follow a gluten-free diet. Even though the most likely culprit in these cases is cross-contamination, or some other type of food sensitivity, some people...

    This is a tricky question...oats are often cross-contaminated with gluten unless they are labelled "gluten-free," which means they have been processed in a way to remove contaminants like wheat which is often grown in the same fields, or processed on the same equipment. Oat fiber would have the protein removed, so it would have very little of any kind...

    I am not a doctor, but I would say it is possible because some kids get very mild symptoms. What would surprise me is that you would not get it, as this coronavirus is very contagious.
  8. Scott Adams
    The first place to start would be to double check everything in your diet to be sure that you are not getting any gluten contamination. Many gluten-free breads use xanthan gum, guar gum, or other types of binders that can cause gastrointestinal issues, so consider this as a possibility as well: You may want to keep a food diary for a while to see...

    I have celiac disease and take melatonin and Benadryl regularly without any issues.

    It is gluten-free per the ingredients, but is not labelled "gluten-free," so it is unlikely it is made in a gluten-free facility, otherwise it would be labelled as "gluten-free." https://www.libbysmeats.com/

    Of course you may not have it, and the only way to be certain is to get tested. Most celiacs don't have obvious symptoms. If going to a doctor is expensive, and they are not likely to test you for it, certainly you could simply try a gluten-free diet for a couple of months to see if it makes any of your symptoms better. While ~1% have celiac disease, there...

    That is very true. Actually, I can also pin down the moment my symptoms kicked in which eventually led to my celiac diagnosis. I was backpacking in Europe during college and ate some cheese that got me very sick. It was classic severe food poisoning, and I was very sick for 3 days. After that the celiac symptoms began, and I went on a wild goose chase for...

    It may be just a coincidence that you ate some tainted meat at this time, as many of the symptoms you mention could certainly be related to celiac disease. Have you asked your doctor to test you for it? There are also home tests available that are under $100, for example this company makes one: https://www.imaware.health/ Keep eating gluten every...
  14. Scott Adams
    Cross contamination in your kitchen is certainly a possibility, but there are probably just too many variables for us to be able to figure it out. It’s also possible that gluten was in food you ate during that time. I think the important thing for you is to move forward and try to make sure it doesn’t happen again rather than try to figure out how it ...

    Can you eat plain popcorn without any issues? Did you have a list of ingredients?
  16. Scott Adams
    It should be ok...I have a friend who is a doctor and he just ate some rice that had a best before date that was 10 years ago.
  17. Scott Adams
    You can imagine all sorts of scenarios that are scary, but that does not mean they will come true. Also, we currently just don't know how we will fare, better or worse, so it is a good think to know, just like it is better to know that you have celiac disease than not knowing it. Since this area is for article comments, I recommend you go to our topic on...

    I don't think that is the point of this study. Did you know celiacs, even younger ones, should be getting regular pneumococcal vaccinations? Knowledge is power, and the more they know about how this affects us, the better they will be able to treat us. The more we know the better, whether the information good or bad news.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having a DH issue, but I don't think you need to starve. There are online options like www.glutenfreemall.com that offer certified GF products, as well as Amazon and others. @Fenrir what is it like now at your hospital? Are you seeing cases there? I hope all is well.

    Hello @Trevoc, welcome to the forum. I doubt you noticed, but @GFinDC has nearly 6,000 posts here and is a moderator. Feel free to edit your first post here if you like, as it doesn't come off very well. I suspect this would vary greatly depending on the hospital. Whenever I get tests done at Kaiser, for example, I typically get results online within...

    Yes, a doctor is now compiling stats, which is mentioned in this forum thread: Coronavirus More Susceptible to Celiacs?
