Celiac.com 06/19/2025 - For the 1% of the global population with celiac disease and the millions more with gluten sensitivity, wheat has long been a dietary enemy. But a groundbreaking genetic discovery could change that—by deleting k... -
First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

Your experience with gluten is actually not unheard of! Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or even celiac disease report an initial ‘honeymoon phase’ during a gluten challenge, where symptoms temporarily improve before worsening again. This could be due to your body adjusting or even a temporary immune modulation. Since you’re only 2.5 w...

Welcome to the forum! Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead...

Gluten free wheat flour????
Scott Adams replied to CJF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive... -
It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed
Scott Adams replied to wellthatsfun's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while f... -
Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

Gluten-Free Drinks
Scott Adams replied to JulieB11's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there ... -
Celiac.com 06/16/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is a daily challenge—from scrutinizing food labels to worrying about cross-contamination in restaurants. But what about kissing? Can a simple p... -
Traveling to Spain with Celiac Disease: A Gluten-Free Guide
Scott Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Travel
Celiac.com 06/14/2025 - Planning a getaway to the sun-soaked coasts, historic cities, and culinary delights of Spain is an experience filled with anticipation. For individuals with celiac disease, however, that excitement also comes with... -
Also, there is this product:

Do you eat in restaurants, or food prepared in restaurants?

That is true, but they are not a bad place to start. I recommend ones One A Day without iron, unless you need iron. You can definitely add other supplements over time if needed, but it's a good starting point that can address a variety of nutrient deficiencies.

Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel
Scott Adams replied to Pete111's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests... -

Gluten-Free Tinolang Manok (Filipino Ginger-Chicken Soup)
Scott Adams posted an article in Chinese & Asian
Celiac.com 06/13/2025 - Tinolang Manok is a treasured staple in many Filipino households, known for its soul-warming simplicity and nourishing properties. Dating back to pre-colonial times, this ginger-infused chicken soup has long been... -
Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.
-
Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.
-
As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until ...
-
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 to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

I am just sharing my personal supplementation which has been developed over many years now. It's not a perfect fit for everyone, but some lingering issues I had, especially with gluten ataxia, did not go away until I went on this regimen. Good luck with finding experts to help you with this, it is possible, but my doctors were more or less totally useless...

Pepsid alternative
Scott Adams replied to milana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The inactive ingredients list you provided includes pregelatinized starch, which can sometimes be derived from wheat, meaning it may contain gluten. It's best to call them to verify this. https://www.pepcid.com/our-products/max-strength-pepcid-ac-cool-mint -
