    I agree, and have had a lot of high level contact over the years with companies that make gluten-free foods. While some consumers are clamoring for "ZERO detected gluten" to be labelled gluten-free, many companies are willing to stop putting this on their labels if it ever drops below 20ppm. To them, lowering levels just represents an increase in liability...

    More information about "Do Severe Symptoms at Celiac Diagnosis Predict Long-Term Health? (+Video)"
    Celiac.com 02/09/2026 - Celiac disease is an immune-driven condition in which eating gluten causes damage to the lining of the small intestine. This damage interferes with nutrient absorption and can lead to a wide range of symptoms affecting...

    This is a thoughtful and careful way to approach a gray area that many of us run into with spices. What’s helpful here is that you took the time to clarify Penzeys’ internal practices rather than relying on assumptions or marketing language, and you laid out their labeling logic in a clear, transparent way so others can evaluate it for themselves. Fenugreek has...

    What you’re describing is actually very plausible, even if it isn’t talked about nearly enough. Celiac disease can have neurologic manifestations, and gluten exposure has been linked to tremor, ataxia, and other movement disorders in a subset of patients—sometimes referred to under the broader umbrella of gluten-related neurologic involvement. When glute...

    You’re not imagining this, and you’re not “overreacting.” Sensory sensitivity—especially to food odors—can intensify after menopause and in people with celiac disease, migraines, or neurologic involvement, and for some it can be a very real trigger. The problem isn’t that bakeries exist, but that public spaces like airports and medical facilities increasingly ...

    What you’re describing is, sadly, something many people with celiac disease recognize all too well—being questioned, dismissed, or mislabeled when you’re simply trying to understand and manage a condition that has real, lifelong consequences. Wanting documentation, clarity, and continuity of care isn’t “chasing” a diagnosis; it’s advocating for your own ...

    Happy birthday—and that’s a very reasonable question to ask. Yes, secondary hyperparathyroidism can absolutely be driven by malabsorption, especially in people with celiac disease, where low vitamin D and impaired calcium absorption keep parathyroid hormone elevated even after partial correction. Many find that PTH can lag behind vitamin D improvements for...

    Thank you for sharing this—your story is heartbreaking, powerful, and, unfortunately, far too familiar to many in the celiac community. Being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and blamed for symptoms for decades, only to later discover they were all connected to untreated celiac disease and malabsorption, represents a profound failure of the medical system. The p...

    You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

    What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

    Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

    I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

    This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

    Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

    What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

    Better to know late than never, and it is too bad they did not test you for it earlier!
