    In the USA and with my provider (Kaiser) I typically get test results back within a week.

    So interestingly, after many years of tests, including sleep tests, I was prescribed a cpap machine and began using it about 2 months ago. My last two tests for my red blood cell count were in the normal range, so it appears that my "moderate sleep apnea" diagnosis was the culprit. Although I'm not excited about the idea of needing such a device, I suppose...

    This is a little late, but a good Italian-English GF restaurant card would be recommended. There are many GF pastas in Italy, and Barilla makes a great one. The trick is getting them to cook it in a separate pot than they use for wheat. You may want to bring AN-PEP enzymes with you just in case.

    I wish they offered more than just their chicken sandwich for those who are gluten-free. Has Chick-fil-A added more gluten-free items to their menu?

    Is it still in business?

    Here is a coconut flour pancake recipe:

    Ok, next Halloween maybe! This is interesting, and I did not know that B2 will fluoresce in a black light...strange.

    What is the origin of this type of Spring Roll? It looks like the Chinese version.

    Thank you for sharing!

    This recipe looks great! The ricotta cheese is an interesting twist.

    They should be...can you give us a brand or share the ingredients on the can?

    Here is a list of GF ginger beers:

    I don't see anything here that might be hidden gluten...did they ever reply?
  15. Scott Adams
    Ok, I guess they are trying to be healthy. Of course it dates me, but I do occasionally make Spam & eggs for me and my kids, which horrifies my wife. 😀

    You may need to also watch you levels of iodine, as they can trigger DH as well. How are you doing now?
  17. Scott Adams
    If you have DH you probably should not be supplementing iodine at all. Because it is add to most salt that is consumed in the USA (and other industrialized countries), you should be able to get plenty of iodine without supplementation.

    Many people who are sensitive to cow's milk (casein), can tolerate sheep's or goat's milk. I am included in this. After I was first diagnosed I could not eat any diary for about two years, but could have sheep and goat milk. After a couple of years being gluten-free I could again consume cow's milk.

    Sorry it took so long for you to get a reply! Six weeks should be enough, did you get your results? If your symptoms got better when gluten-free, then got worse during your challenge, that is a good sign that you are on the right track and it is DH. If you have DH, even tiny amounts of gluten could trigger it for days or weeks.

    I believe it is normal to take the biopsies the way your doctor did, and it sounds like you have an official diagnosis. This means you need to be 100% gluten-free. If you are not yet gluten-free perhaps ask your doctor to do a follow up blood test for celiac disease as well. DH is difficult because even the smallest amount of gluten can trigger it for...

    Have you tried soy milk? I know much of it is GMO, but I believe you can find non-GMO brands, perhaps Silk? Green tea won't add calories but is also great and includes antioxidants.

    Around 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, and the rate is even higher among women. I've not seen studies on how many first degree relatives have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but it is likely even higher. The old saying is true: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!
  23. Scott Adams
    He's correct that many in the medical field still know far too little about celiac disease, testing, treatment, etc. You may want to go with a full B-Complex multivitamin, as well as mineral supplementation (get your iron levels checked before supplementing with iron). The average time for a celiac to heal is 2 years.
  24. Scott Adams
    To me it sounds like you are in the non-celiac gluten sensitive category, which may make up to ~10% of the population. The good news is that you don't have gut damage, but the bad news is that it means that you should still be 100% gluten-free, as some believe that it can develop into full blown celiac disease at some point.
  25. Scott Adams
    Although they are not required to test, they are legally bound by what they put on their labels. So in general if they put "gluten-free" on their label, they do test regularly for gluten, and most batch test. A product recall would be very expensive, and potential lawsuits even worse, thus compliance with the labeling law has been very good. Given that thousands...
