  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉
  4. 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...
  5. No corn is listed on the ingredients on their site: https://www.trulyhardseltzer.com/nutrition This article may also be helpful:
  6. 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"...
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  16. It sounds like you’re really going through it—accidental gluten exposure can definitely take a toll, and when it happens twice close together, it can feel like it drags on even longer. Many people find that each glutening is a bit unpredictable in terms of recovery, and it could take a little extra time if your body hasn’t fully cleared out the first expos...
  17. @Therockfrog, it sounds like you’ve been through so much, and managing these symptoms must be incredibly challenging. Tingling in your feet and scalp, especially after eating specific foods, can sometimes be related to histamine intolerance or even a sensitivity to certain food proteins, as you’ve suggested. Since you’ve already noticed patterns with glute...
  18. Exciting news for sure, especially the fact that "existing drugs could be used to interrupt the inflammation process and help treat patients." Having to develop new drugs to target this genetic pathway would take many years, so finding existing drugs that do so could greatly speed up treatments.
  19. Since your daughter has celiac disease some studies show that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have it, and it sounds like it is very likely that your house may be going gluten-free soon, mostly anyway, due to your daughter's recent diagnosis. If you are in the UK (since you spell it "coeliac"), you may get subsidies and other health system benefits...
  20. I've not been to Australia, but they have one of the strictest gluten-free standards in the world, and I've heard that going to the larger cities there is easy for those who are gluten-free.
  21. Celiac.com 11/08/2024 - For busy professionals, meal prep is a lifesaver. It saves time, keeps you on track with healthy eating, and helps avoid the temptation of fast food or expensive takeout. For those who follow a gluten-free diet...
  22. For anyone interested in research summaries on this topic we have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/
  23. Autoimmune thyroid disease, like Hashimoto's, can sometimes be associated with mildly elevated TTG levels, but it’s not the primary cause of a high TTG reading. Since celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid conditions frequently coexist, your doctor is right to investigate further. It’s encouraging that your TTG has dropped slightly, which may suggest some flu...
