    Celiac.com 08/06/2020 - The global pandemic of Covid, caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV2, has caused serious damage to public health and the economy. However, some of the greatest effects may be mental and emotional. Pandemic response measures...

    The products I referred to were European, and needed to comply with USA labeling standards before they could be imported. The expense of doing this was always a factor for companies when deciding whether or not to export their products to the USA. There is a whole industry around doing this, law firms that specialize in label compliance, import companies...

    I find it strange that your doctor would instruct you to go gluten-free while at the same time referring you to a gastroenterologist. You do need to be eating gluten daily for at least a couple of weeks before doing a biopsy, and going gluten-free now will allow your villi to begin healing, and villi damage is what the GI doctor will be trying to see. If...

    So as you may know I was involved in the food business. I founded and ran The Gluten-Free Mall for nearly 15 years. Food that is imported must have an FDA compliant label or it is not legal to import it. This is often when the food is in US Customs, and entire shipments are often seized due to lack of FDA compliance. It's not just a suggestion, but it is...

    More information about "Celiac Screening is Important for People with Down Syndrome"
    Celiac.com 08/05/2020 - Current protocols by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) call for children with Down syndrome to be screened for celiac disease. However, there isn't much good study data to demonstrate the value or efficacy...

    Actually in those with DH it is relatively common that iodine can cause flareups, but I don't have an exact number of just how common it is. Here is a search of this site on the subject that includes older posts and articles. It might be worth browsing some of the results here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=iodine dermatitis&search_and_or...

    It sounds like your doctor is convinced by your results that you have celiac disease. The question is will they want you to also do a biopsy? More and more, especially with children, doctors are not recommending a follow up biopsy, and this is probably even more true during this covid pandemic. Before doing anything ask your doctor what the next step...

    The itchy bumps look a bit like they are tiny blisters, which can be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin condition associated with celiac disease. The fact that they happened after you began eating gluten again also supports this. It's probably best for you to get a blood panel for celiac disease done, either via your doctor if possible, or they...

    More information about "Einkorn Wheat Easier to Digest, Less Toxic than Durum for Celiacs"
    Celiac.com 08/04/2020 - People with celiac disease need to avoid wheat. That includes ancient Einkorn wheat, even though some folks claim it's easier to digest and less toxic than Durum and other wheat strains. Recent studies suggested...

    I would only go this route if you miss gluten so much that you will need the formal diagnosis to stay gluten-free, or if you need the diagnosis to get further follow up an treatment by doctors, but definitely talk to your doctor about this possibility. The first thing to find out would be whether or not your diet has been 100% gluten-free. A recent study...

    I think you mean "Progresso," but I could be wrong. They make a line of GF soups.

    This article was updated on 08/03/2020 to remove "whey protein, whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate," since they are not HVP. Also, Celiac.com is not a dairy-free site, and focuses on celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. A vast majority, including myself, have temporary casein intolerance until their villi are healed, and can tolerate...

    More information about "Cytokines Can Tell Celiac Disease from Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and Healthy Subjects"
    08/03/2020 - New research shows that cytokines, particularly IL-8 and IL-15, could be used as markers to distinguish celiac disease from non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and healthy people. Researchers have noted that levels of some...

    Clearly @MisterSeth did not take the time to read the many studies published on the AN-PEP enzyme, which demonstrate that they do break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. Sorry, but if you make a claim like that, you need to back it up. Here is my backup: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apt.13266 https://www.researchgate...

    Trents may be correct, but my approach is if you can find the same item without gluten, why not go that route? Gluten is used in making many commercial glues, but I doubt sports tapes are required to list their ingredients. To find a gluten-free one may require you being willing to call various companies about this. If you find a gluten-free version, please...
