  1. 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...
  2. Celiac.com 02/07/2026 - Chinese-style green beans have earned a devoted following because they deliver big flavor with a short ingredient list. Across many Chinese home kitchens, quick cooking over high heat is used to turn everyday vegetables...
  3. Celiac.com 02/06/2026 - Cantonese-style steamed fish is one of those dishes that feels almost too simple to be special—until you taste it. For generations, cooks in southern China have relied on gentle steaming to highlight the natural s...
  4. Celiac.com 02/05/2026 - For many years, celiac disease was widely viewed as a condition affecting primarily people of European descent, especially those living in North America and Western Europe. Medical textbooks, diagnostic guidelines...
  5. 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 ...
  6. 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...
  7. 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.
  8. Celiac.com 02/04/2026 - The story of a young girl in Gaza who suffered from celiac disease and extreme malnutrition is heartbreaking on its own. Yet it also reveals a broader and often overlooked reality: for people with celiac disease...

    Hello! Join me and treat yourself to a four-day, three-night restorative gluten-free retreat in a peaceful, private coastal retreat setting near Penobscot Bay in Maine. Dates: April 10-13, 2026 Enjoy engaging classes...
  10. 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.
  11. 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...
  12. I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!
  13. Celiac.com 02/02/2026 - Celiac disease is a lifelong immune condition in which eating gluten damages the small intestine. While genetics play an important role, genes alone do not explain why some people develop the disease while others...
  14. 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...

Here are some results from a search: Top Liquid Multivitamin Picks for Celiac Needs MaryRuth's Liquid Morning Multivitamin Essentials+ – Excellent daily choice with a broad vitamin/mineral profile, easy to absorb, gluten-free, vegan, and great overall value.

  16. Commerce, CA – Koikoi Trading Inc. is recalling certain lots of FU ZHOU FISH BALL products in multiple pack sizes (200g, 400g, and 5LB) because the products may contain undeclared allergens: wheat and sesame. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat and/or sesame run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume t...
  17. Celiac.com 01/31/2026 - Shrimp stir-fries have long been a weeknight staple across many home kitchens because they cook quickly and pair well with crisp vegetables and bold aromatics. The technique itself traces back to the high-heat,...
  18. Celiac.com 01/30/2026 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is not optional. Even very small amounts can cause symptoms, intestinal injury, or long-term health risks. Despite careful label reading and...
  19. Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.
  20. Celiac.com 01/28/2026 - In January 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a new effort to improve how gluten and other related ingredients are disclosed on packaged food labels. This action is an important step toward making...
  21. But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.
  22. Some of the Cocomels are gluten and dairy-free: https://cocomels.com/collections/shop-page
  23. Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating...
