    I hope all is ok, let us know! This happened to me a few years back.

    Yesterday Costco in Santa Rosa, CA was completely sold out of gluten-free bread. I did find some at Trader Joe’s. We are now under Sonoma County’s “shelter on place” orders, but many of us are used to this due to the issues we’ve had with wild fires...still having power is a bonus for us! ?

    I just wanted to share this post I just received from an email group I'm in. It's from Benjamin Lebwohl, MD, MS, Director of Clinical Research, The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. They are setting up a group to study whether those with celiac disease may have worse outcomes with COVID-19 than those without CD, and he does mention our increased...

    If it makes you feel better the UK appears to be light years ahead of the USA in correctly following up on the recommendations to treat celiacs. As far as I know nobody here is recommending this vaccine for celiacs yet, even though the research supports it.

    Definitely try to get it biopsied for DH...to me it does look similar to DH blisters, but I'm not a dermatologist.

    Newly diagnosed celiacs should keep a food diary and they may have to avoid other foods until they heal. Once they heal, which can take up to 2 years or more, they may be able to add back many foods that were causing them issues...except gluten of course.

    The abdominal pains and swelling are certainly in line with celiac disease symptoms, and various aches, especially joint pain can be as well. That said, the right kidney/back area would not be very common, so be sure to discuss these symptoms with your doctor. Kidney stones can cause this, but the pain is typically severe. If you suspect celiac disease...

    PS - I am already talking to my doctor to get this vaccine...which I haven't done yet, but am now very motivated to do!

    So the research on diabetics having an increased risk of pneumonia is nearly identical to the research links I posted about the increased risk of pneumonia in celiac disease. The research for diabetes showing this higher risk also references bacterial pneumonia and not viral pneumonia. So if the research on diabetes indicates that diabetics are at higher...

    You should not worry about gluten contamination on fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are concerned about this, wash them before eating them.

    Perhaps go with certified gluten-free products when it comes to snacks and other processed foods, but sticking with whole foods that are naturally gluten-free and are not processed might be a better option. I doubt you need to join any group for this. Also Nima Sensor’s free app does share product testing results from hundreds of those who use t...

    ??? Nobody is trying to "spread fear" here. We are having a discussion about how celiacs might respond to this virus. Anyone at higher risk for pneumonia could have worse outcomes with this virus. This article makes it clear, and no differentiation is made between viral or bacterial, those at higher risk for pneumonia could have worse outcomes: https...

    Your eyelids look a bit like mine did when I was first diagnosed, and they told me it was blipharitis that caused it. After I first went gluten-free I could tell when I got gluten in my diet because my eyelids would flare up. After I healed and was gluten-free a couple of years this condition went away and has never come back, even on the rare occasions I...

    I'm not sure if you saw this thread, but it might be helpful:

    There is solid evidence that indicates that celiacs are at higher risk for pneumonia, and since this is the way covid-19 seems to be killing people, it certainly makes me wonder if this means that celiacs who get covid-19 might be more prone to end up in the ~20% of those who have worse outcomes:

    Dairy allergies can cause congestion. Have you had allergy tests done? Have you been screened for celiac disease? You don't need to go gluten-free unless you have celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity.

    @cyclinglady is correct here that if it doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen the modified food starch is made from corn, but I just want to point out that a survey was done years ago and there are only a handful of very large companies in the USA that make modified food starch, and 100% of it is made from corn. Only if the product is made outside the USA...

    Actually all modified food starch made in the USA is made from corn. Please see our safe list:

    Panic attacks and anxiety are consistent with untreated celiac disease, and the good news is that if your symptoms were caused by gluten they will improve if you stay gluten-free. Although celiac disease has a wide range of symptoms, and even no symptoms, shortness of breath you are reporting would not be typical, however, it could be related to the...

    The pasta sauce is gluten-free: https://www.prego.com/sauces/classic-italian-pasta-sauces/garden-harvest-tomato-onion-garlic-italian-sauce/ browse their site for more info.

    Does it look like a rash from an allergy, live hives? Could it be caused by friction? I've not heard of gluten being used in cardboard, but I suppose its possible. I know that it has apparently been used in some dry wall.

    Maybe you mean this article?

    I doubt that there would be any gluten on the tabs, and even if there were the amount would be so small it likely would not cause issues. That said, obviously not doing it would be the safest choice and what I recommend, whether or not there is any gluten on the tabs. If you're dead set on trying this, and it sounds like you are, be sure you're with...

    A Nima sensor is accurate and would be far less expensive than owning and taking care of a gluten sniffing dog.

    If you're going to eat out I advise getting an AN-PEP enzyme and taking 1-2 with the meal. Here is a new article we just published on this topic:
