    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...

    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...

    Products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label H-E-B is voluntarily issuing an all-store recall for Blue Cheese Salmon Burgers due to an undeclared allergen. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the...

    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...

    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...
