    Also be sure to get enough fiber.

    For now I'd wait to see how your results turn out, because it's still possible they could score high if you have gluten sensitivity. If they end up being below the threshold you may want to get retested to be certain. You should eat gluten daily for around 2 months before being tested, otherwise you may end up with false negative results. In your case it...

    Agreed. I also used to run polls regularly on this site and ~25% of diagnosed celiacs reported that they routinely cheated on their diet. I'm embarrassed to say that my own teenage daughter, who went gluten-free about a year ago (she's gluten sensitive with symptoms and high, but not high enough antibody levels--just under the cutoff to be offered a biopsy...

    Also, I just wanted to address a couple of things about enzymes. I get routinely criticized for endorsing them because the major support groups haven't fully endorsed their use. I am not sure how much science it takes for them to finally jump on the band wagon, but I've personally seen enough regarding AN-PEP to convince me that: 1) Taking them can't...

    Travelling is always a challenge, but another of the things in life, like eating out, that I simply won't give up. There is a reason I moved to wine country California--wine and good restaurants! I hope you'll be on here during your travels...keep us posted on how everything goes!

    HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital: The Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance Support Group will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library in the Workman Room, 200 North Third S...

    I'll see if the owner of GliadinX will chime in here...
  8. Scott Adams
    I've spoken directly with the developer about the product. AN-PEP is well tolerated and has been used in the brewing industry for many years as a clarifying agent in the beer brewing process. I do believe his recommended dosage was created directly from the studies that were done. He has also said that there are no known issues with doubling to tripling the...

    If you went gluten-free for a long period of time before you got tested, your test results will likely be a false negative. Normally you must eat gluten daily for at least two months before you can be tested for celiac disease, and this goes for either blood tests or a biopsy. That said, given how certain you are that Gluten is causing all of your problems...

    Not to rehash the quote too much here about GliadinX, but it being shown to “only” detox up to 1/8 of a slice of wheat bread means it should be ideal for its intended use...as a precaution against cross-contamination. It should never be used to knowingly eat gluten. On a sidenote it did save my mom one Thanksgiving a couple of years ago when someone han...

    @kareng sorry about directing that to you, I meant @cyclinglady, my bad...and why I shouldn’t post at midnight! Sorry about that! Also, my response wasn’t intended to “attack” anyone, not even @cyclinglady, but I can see how you could view it that way give its misdirection... if anything I was going after the CSA, who likely changed their n...

    @kareng the articles you cite against GliadinX really just say that you shouldn’t use them in order to knowingly eat gluten, which is what the maker says. One of the organizations you cite, formerly the Celiac Sprue Assoc., famously said sorghum and quinoa were not gluten free and safe for celiacs, and held on to this position for over 10 years. Celiac.c...
  13. Scott Adams
    It's possible you have an intolerance to sorghum, but pure sorghum is considered gluten-free and safe for celiacs.

    I eat out regularly because it's a part of life too important for me to give up. I also take precautions, but never fully trust what anyone tells me at restaurants. I just take enzymes before eating, and I've not had issues. I likely have gotten contamination, which is why I took the enzymes.
  15. Scott Adams
    I am not sure what you mean by "The Nima device has many issues" as the device very accurately measures whatever you put into it. The issue is not the device, but perhaps the possibility that some of the food you didn't put into the test has gluten in it. The device works very well, and is only designed to give you more info to make a choice, rather than...

    Since there are a lot of people with Type 1 diabetes who also have celiac disease, I’d recommend you talk to your doctor about getting screened for diabetes. More info: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

    We've posted a corrected version of this article, and apologize for the version published yesterday that did not include information about their shared fryers.
  20. Scott Adams
    We’ll check into this and update the article with what we discover.

    I would recommend enzymes for anyone not healing. Take them before meals and they should handle small amounts of contamination. GliadinX is a good one, and sponsors this site, but did not pay me to mention them.
  22. Scott Adams
    I would not recommend that organization as they claim that Cheerios and other General Mills cereals that use gluten-free oats are not gluten-free, but don’t provide evidence to back this claim up. Years ago they had a blog post that said that they would make their evidence on this public “soon,” then never released it. Nima’s app is the best way to ...

    I believe you mean this list, and if so, yes, we update this periodically and as far as we know it correctly lists gluten-free items:

    If you did have celiac disease that caused intestinal damage, that damage would begin healing as soon as you went gluten-free. If the damage was severe enough it might not be healed, and there could still be signs of it. However, if your goal here is to get an official diagnosis, it's doubtful it will be possible now, due to the fact that you've been gluten...
  25. Scott Adams
    If you've been gluten-free for a while, and it sounds like you have been, the endoscopy would give a false negative result, because in order to see any damage to your intestine caused by gluten you'd need to be eating gluten daily for ~2 months before testing for it. You may want this done for your other health issues, and in that case you can ignore...
