    I am not a doctor, but I would say it is possible because some kids get very mild symptoms. What would surprise me is that you would not get it, as this coronavirus is very contagious.
  2. Scott Adams
    The first place to start would be to double check everything in your diet to be sure that you are not getting any gluten contamination. Many gluten-free breads use xanthan gum, guar gum, or other types of binders that can cause gastrointestinal issues, so consider this as a possibility as well: You may want to keep a food diary for a while to see...

    I have celiac disease and take melatonin and Benadryl regularly without any issues.

    It is gluten-free per the ingredients, but is not labelled "gluten-free," so it is unlikely it is made in a gluten-free facility, otherwise it would be labelled as "gluten-free." https://www.libbysmeats.com/

    Of course you may not have it, and the only way to be certain is to get tested. Most celiacs don't have obvious symptoms. If going to a doctor is expensive, and they are not likely to test you for it, certainly you could simply try a gluten-free diet for a couple of months to see if it makes any of your symptoms better. While ~1% have celiac disease, there...

    That is very true. Actually, I can also pin down the moment my symptoms kicked in which eventually led to my celiac diagnosis. I was backpacking in Europe during college and ate some cheese that got me very sick. It was classic severe food poisoning, and I was very sick for 3 days. After that the celiac symptoms began, and I went on a wild goose chase for...

    It may be just a coincidence that you ate some tainted meat at this time, as many of the symptoms you mention could certainly be related to celiac disease. Have you asked your doctor to test you for it? There are also home tests available that are under $100, for example this company makes one: https://www.imaware.health/ Keep eating gluten every...

    Cross contamination in your kitchen is certainly a possibility, but there are probably just too many variables for us to be able to figure it out. It’s also possible that gluten was in food you ate during that time. I think the important thing for you is to move forward and try to make sure it doesn’t happen again rather than try to figure out how it ...

    Can you eat plain popcorn without any issues? Did you have a list of ingredients?

    It should be ok...I have a friend who is a doctor and he just ate some rice that had a best before date that was 10 years ago.

    You can imagine all sorts of scenarios that are scary, but that does not mean they will come true. Also, we currently just don't know how we will fare, better or worse, so it is a good think to know, just like it is better to know that you have celiac disease than not knowing it. Since this area is for article comments, I recommend you go to our topic on...

    I don't think that is the point of this study. Did you know celiacs, even younger ones, should be getting regular pneumococcal vaccinations? Knowledge is power, and the more they know about how this affects us, the better they will be able to treat us. The more we know the better, whether the information good or bad news.

    Celiac.com 03/27/2020 - Benjamin Lebwohl, MD MS (Adult Gastroenterologist, Columbia University Irving Medical Center) has opened an online, confidential, de-identified secure registry for doctors worldwide to report cases of those with...

    I'm sorry to hear you're having a DH issue, but I don't think you need to starve. There are online options like www.glutenfreemall.com that offer certified GF products, as well as Amazon and others. @Fenrir what is it like now at your hospital? Are you seeing cases there? I hope all is well.

    Hello @Trevoc, welcome to the forum. I doubt you noticed, but @GFinDC has nearly 6,000 posts here and is a moderator. Feel free to edit your first post here if you like, as it doesn't come off very well. I suspect this would vary greatly depending on the hospital. Whenever I get tests done at Kaiser, for example, I typically get results online within...

    Yes, a doctor is now compiling stats, which is mentioned in this forum thread: Coronavirus More Susceptible to Celiacs?

    General Mills has spent millions to develop and patent technology that now may even keep their cereals under 10ppm, which is their goal. Although some claim they haven’t been doing this no evidence is ever offered to support their claims. I’ve said this many times, GM is a huge company with deep pockets. If law firms could simply but 100 boxes and if any...

    Here are some articles that might help...some are older but still helpful:

    Yes to everything above...and for pasta it is hard to beat Barilla or Schar pastas. Many people like Canyon Bakehouse and Three Bakers for sandwich breads. Costco sells many pre-made items, they also have GF bread and prepare frozen pizzas.

    It sounds like you had bad luck on the timing for your diagnosis, but at least you can now move towards improving your health. One of the sponsors of this site, The Gluten-Free Mall, is open and filling orders. Of course there is also Amazon and others. At this point it might be easier (and safer) to order online than to try to find things are the store...

    Welcome to the forum...please have a look at this recent article that summarizes where things are now: You can get involved to help make this happen.

    Generally yes, however I was at a friend’s house a few years ago and he served a packaged one that did contain wheat on the ingredient label, so always check to be safe.
