Celiac.com 10/01/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is the foundation of treatment. However, many discover that even when they completely remove gluten from their diet, they still experience ongoing...- 22 comments

Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about...

Looking for a gluten-free roomie in Denver CO

I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck! -
Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden...

What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested...

Celiac.com 09/30/2025 - Media headlines, including a recent article in Scientific American about gluten, often make bold claims: "Gluten-free diets are unnecessary," or "Only people with celiac disease benefit from avoiding gluten." These... -
First, it's fantastic news that your diarrhea has resolved after a month—that is a huge and critical sign of healing, confirming that the gluten-free diet is starting to work. While it feels slow, this stabilization of your digestive system is the essential foundation upon which weight gain is built. Given the severity of your weight loss, dropping from 5...

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—...

The connection between celiac disease and thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, is well-established and statistically significant. Research indicates that individuals with celiac disease have a much higher prevalence of thyroid disease compared to the general population, with studies suggesting between 4-11% of celiacs...

Can You Develop Celiac Disease Later in Life? Adult-Onset Symptoms (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
While thiamine is crucial for health, the specific mechanisms linking it to autoimmunity and autism as you've stated are not supported by robust evidence and go far beyond the conclusions of the studies you mention. -
Celiac.com 09/26/2025 - For people living with celiac disease, the only effective treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Unlike food sensitivities or intolerances, this condition is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small...-

Talk about sowing confusion...why does Gaviscon's website say: and when you ask them about this directly they reply with a letter saying that their product might contain gluten? This seems like false advertising to me! @FayeBr you may very well be reacting to gluten in the product, given their terrible response.

Can You Develop Celiac Disease Later in Life? Adult-Onset Symptoms (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
There are lots of reports of covid-19 infection triggering people's celiac disease, so it seems possible that the vaccine may be a factor for some people as well. Currently there are several other viruses that have been implicated in triggering celiac disease in those who have the genes for it. -

Thanks for the tip!

You are right, it does say that it doesn't contain gluten: https://www.gaviscon.ie/products/gaviscon-advance-aniseed-flavor-liquid/ Is there any chance you have a sensitivity to one of its many other ingredients?

Celiac.com 09/24/2025 - For people living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, meal planning is more than a lifestyle trend—it is a necessity. Avoiding gluten requires constant vigilance, from reading ingredient labels to preparing s... -
Thank you so much for sharing your story with such honesty and detail. Please know that you are not alone in this struggle, and your experience, while incredibly challenging, is more common than those "gluten-free miracle" stories on social media would have you believe. It's completely understandable to feel isolated, but your diligence in tracking your symptoms...

When you are first diagnosed it is very normal to feel overwhelmed and depressed about the vast dietary changes that a 100% gluten-free diet entails. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need...

Thanks for sharing this! Bread machines are still the way to go if you want outstanding gluten-free breads.

What you've described is every celiac's nightmare, and it's very frustrating to be failed by a product that was specifically labeled as safe. It would be great to know which product it was so others here can be warned. Six weeks of inadvertent exposure is a significant insult to your system, and it's no wonder that after two weeks you are still feeling...

Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified p...
