    It's your call here, as it sounds like you would not touch gluten again with a 10 foot pole, not matter what the genetic test results show. You may want to do it to help encourage your other family members to get tested, should your results be positive. When I had my genetic tests done it turned out that I am positive for both DQ2 and DQ8, and I got...

    I've never heard that Gatorade is not gluten-free, or could somehow be contaminated with wheat. Please provide a source for this info.

    I had temporary food intolerance issues after my diagnosis that included chicken eggs (I could eat duck eggs), tomatoes, corn, and dairy/cow's milk (I could each sheep's milk). These went away about two years after I began a gluten-free diet, but I discovered them by keeping a food diary. I recommend that you do this for a while to find foods that may be...

    I think she means diverticulitis, which is fairly common. It can be very painful when you have flare ups, and if it is causing you pain it's important for you to consult with a gastroenterologist to see what is going on.

    After I got diagnosed I had several temporary food intolerance issues, including casein/cow's milk, corn, chicken eggs, tomatoes, etc. They mostly went away after a couple of years on a GF diet, but in the meantime I was able to eat duck eggs. You can get duck eggs at farmer's markets, and/or Asian markets (be sure to check and get fresh duck eggs, and not...

    I see this on this site: “IS APEROL GLUTEN FREE? Yes, Aperol is gluten free and suitable for coeliacs. It does not contain any cereals containing gluten, nor is it manufactured on any shared equipment.“ https://www.aperolspritzsocials.com/articles/nutritional-information/

    I would say probably, but I could not tell for sure when looking at their site which says it’s a “fortified wine.” Wine is gluten-free, and their site says: “An infusion of ingredients including oranges, herbs and roots which make a perfectly balanced combination.” https://www.aperol.com/en-us/the-world-of-aperol/aperol-product-credentials To be...

    You’re correct that the endoscopy could not accurately rule out celiac disease if you had been gluten-free in the months before it was done, and your gastro should have known this...did you tell them you were gluten-free beforehand? Did they even ask? From you description you could have gluten sensitivity, but the proper way to rule out celiac disease w...

    Dining out is a common source of gluten contamination, and this article may be helpful:

    Hi Carla, You can go into your account settings to update it: https://www.celiac.com/settings/email/

    It should be available. There are many companies that offer genetic testing that include celiac disease risk tests, including 23 and Me: https://www.23andme.com/ I would verify this before ordering it. Your doctor should be able to order this as well.

    This looks like it would do the job. Whey is a dairy product so be sure that you don't have issues with casein before buying it.

    More information about "Is MSG Gluten-free and Safe for People with Celiac Disease?"
    Celiac.com 08/07/2020 - Everyone knows that some people react to the food ingredient monosodium glutamate (MSG). Did you know that the name of monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a trade name for sodium hydrogen glutamate? Did you know that...

    My thought is that it could be time to get a fasting blood sugar test, and explore the possibility of diabetes. Another thought is that many with celiac disease also have thyroid issues, so perhaps discuss your symptoms with your doctor who may order tests to check for these.

    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...
