  1. I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues. I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can...
  2. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
  3. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

    Tuesday, November 19 · 5 - 6:30pm PST This session of Life with Celiac Disease focuses on Managing relationships with celiac disease, boundary setting and setting up a successful holiday season. It is led by Celiac specialized Life ...
  6. In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level...
  7. Your experience sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re already seeing some improvements on a gluten-free diet. Based on your HLA gene results, the alleles you have (DQA101:02, DQA102:01, DQB102:02, DQB106:02) show a mix of gene types, some of which are associated with an increased risk of celiac disease, though none are definitive indicators on the...

  10. Many ground meats are not labelled gluten-free, but current US labeling laws do require the disclosure of wheat if it is used as an ingredient. Most ground meats are naturally gluten-free, and as you mention, it's best to find ones labeled gluten-free if possible. Many sausages, for example, are now labeled gluten-free.
  11. It's great to hear that cruise lines are stepping up and offering better and more quality gluten-free options for their guests! Given the fact that on a ship you're basically trapped with whatever food options there are, it makes a lot of business sense for all cruise lines to cater to the growing gluten-free crowd.
  12. I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉
  13. Celiac.com 11/12/2024 - The gluten-free food market has seen remarkable growth over the past decade, driven not only by the rise in diagnoses of celiac disease and gluten intolerance but also by a growing number of health-conscious consumers...
  14. No corn is listed on the ingredients on their site: https://www.trulyhardseltzer.com/nutrition This article may also be helpful:
  15. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
  16. I can understand your decision, and if he ends up having the celiac disease genes, and his symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, at the very least you can likely conclude that he has NCGS and possibly even celiac disease, although you can be certain about the latter. Actually he could still have NCGS without any genetic markers for celiac disease. Approximately...
  17. Is it possible you overlooked the results of your tTg-IgA test results? It looks like you might have only shared with us one part of your test results.
  18. All your comments here make great points, and now that it is the norm for celiac disease to be included in the list of disabilities on job applications, it seems that discrimination for having celiac disease could become more common due to lawsuits like this one against Cigna.
  19. Celiac.com 11/11/2024 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While gastrointestinal symptoms are common, many individuals, especially children, may present with non-specific...
  20. Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it...
  21. There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is...
  22. McDonald's has a gluten-free bun, are you in Europe? They don't have that in the USA but I hope they are coming here soon. In the USA the fries are not considered gluten-free, even if they are made in a dedicated fryer, but many celiacs, including myself, have been eating them for years without issues. In Europe they don't have the same hydrolyzed wheat...
  23. Celiac.com 11/09/2024 - Lomo Saltado is a beloved Peruvian dish that beautifully fuses traditional Peruvian ingredients with Chinese cooking techniques, reflecting the country's rich history of cultural blending. The dish was born from...
  24. It’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially when you’re managing celiac well but still experiencing new, unexplained symptoms. Many people with celiac notice sensations around the neck and jaw area, even without visible swelling. Sometimes, lymph node sensitivity or a tight feeling in the throat can linger as part of the body’s inflammatory response, even...
