    I am also not terribly surprised by the results of the MMA study, given the number of recalls I see on gluten-free products, even ones that are certified gluten-free: This is even less surprising to me now that I understand the step down testing granted to companies that have GFCO certification, which I don't agree with regardless of what comes about...

    I agree with @trents, and the most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient...

    Sorry but you'll need to do the research on these--we don't have the staff to do this for you. Try searching for them on Amazon as they usually list ingredients, or a Google search.

    I agree, how much revenue will companies lose by allowing people with celiac disease or other food allergies bring in their own food, in comparison to what they might lose in a lawsuit for violating the ADA? A more recent example:

    Interesting, and I need to do some research on salycillate sensitivity, as I know nothing about it--thank you for sharing!

    You can ignore the gluten-free parts of this article if you don't have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which it sounds like may be the case. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. This article may be helpful:

    I am sure that there are many other organizations that you have not heard of, and the fact that you haven't heard of them does not detract from how credible they might be. But Celiac.com is indeed investigating their report, and have been one of the only organizations who has reached out to them and received direct replies from them regarding their study...

    Celiac.com 07/31/2024 - Chicken mole, a cherished gem in Mexican cuisine, embodies a legacy steeped in ancient culinary traditions and cultural fusion. Originating from the Mesoamerican era, mole traces its roots back to the rich culinary...

    Anyone can make a statement like that about any gluten-free company--that there could be hot spots out there about any of their products, but you need a lot more evidence to make such a claim--in this case we have a lab that ran the accepted gluten tests which found high gluten content in a product, yet, instead of Gluten-Free Watchdog warning people not...

    So far I've not heard anything more from the Moms Across America folks about their test protocols, and it's possible that due to the class action lawsuit against Trader Joe's spawned by their article, I may not get a reply. I think Gluten-Free Watchdog's position on this is a bit strange, given the normal angle they take of protecting their paying...

    So you've gone gluten-free and are seeing symptom improvement? If so this can also indicate that you do in fact have celiac disease, or at the very least, gluten sensitivity. 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 i...

    Do you do much cooking? In your case I think it would be important to cook using homemade whole foods, rather than try to replace bread and other items with gluten-free versions. Perhaps you could also travel to a larger city from time to time to stock up on certain things that might be hard to find there, for example whole quinoa grain can be an excellent...

    Many celiacs do not have noticeable symptoms, and discover that they have it when they have anemia or other vitamin deficiency. If you were referred for an endoscopy for celiac disease, does that mean that you had a positive blood test for it? Normally a blood test would be given before a follow up biopsy is done. The most common nutrient deficiencies...

    They make both regular wheat and gluten-free flours, and you would need to get the gluten-free version: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour

    If you mean their Pizza Sauce with Cheese it looks like it is naturally gluten-free, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.chefboyardee.com/products/pizza-and-sauces/pizza-sauce-cheese

    You mentioned that you've been gluten-free, were you eating gluten daily before your celiac disease blood tests and the capsule endoscopy? If not, you could have false negative results. Also, capsule endoscopy is not as accurate as a traditional endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, and the study below found "The team's results show that small bowel...

    It there any chance you ate other things besides the chicken? I ask because the ingredients are just chicken, and nothing else. If cross contamination with wheat were possible, they would have to include this as an allergen warning. Also, it's possible there is salmonella or other pathogen on the chicken which could cause similar symptoms.

    How long have you been gluten-free? 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...

    Many people with celiac disease go into remission once their gut heals. Some in this group get severe symptoms with even the smallest amount of gluten, while others don't get any symptoms when they eat lots of it. Just like the villi/gut damage from celiac disease can take years to heal, for some people it can also take weeks, months or longer for symptoms...

    Celiac.com 07/30/2024 - Andrew Bloodworth, a father diagnosed with celiac disease, faced a heartbreaking choice: to either afford food for his children or maintain his gluten-free diet. His story highlights the financial strain celiac...

    Eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test is critical, and the results of the test won't be accurate if you do not do this. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    Many people with celiac disease are asymptomatic, but unfortunately if they keep eating gluten they still run the same health risks as those who have symptoms.
  23. Scott Adams
    I hope you have been eating gluten daily, lots of it, for your endoscopy. Some people mistakenly go gluten-free before all testing for celiac disease is completed, and doing that can cause false-negative results.

    When you are first diagnosed it is very normal to feel overwhelmed and depressed about the vast dietary changes that a 100% gluten-free diet entails. There are a couple of things that can help you feel like you have "regained control," and the two that I recommend are learning to read ingredient labels so that you can shop with confidence, and the other...

    I would say that a strict gluten-free diet should improve symptoms in most celiac disease patients, but some will need to eliminate more foods, as they may have additional food intolerance issues.
