Gluten-Free Nachos with Fresh Pico de Gallo and Avocado Crema
Scott Adams posted an article in Mexican & Spanish
Celiac.com 08/26/2025 - Nachos may have originated as a simple late-night snack in northern Mexico, but over time, they’ve evolved into a beloved, customizable comfort food enjoyed across the globe. The original dish—created in 1943 b... -
That is a solid home test--feel free to share other tests you run.

Definitely consult with your doctor before considering such high doses--5,000 IU is likely fine, but 50,000 IU could cause serious issues over time.

Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now). I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on...

I personally don't believe you have an obligation to disclose such a diagnosis with your doctor or insurance company, especially if a health insurance company can use this information against you for the rest of your life--and yes, it does look like we may be headed back a time a place where pre-existing conditions could affect the cost and ability to get...

I had to look up "TVP" and it is this product: https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/tvp-textured-veg-protein What type of test did you use? Was it a mail order kit, if so, what brand, or did you send out samples to be tested at a lab?

Celiac.com 08/25/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This immune response damages the small intestine and can lead to a wide range of symptoms. While... -
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, not something one "outgrows"; the historical belief that children did has been completely debunked by modern science. The immune response to gluten is lifelong. Furthermore, the idea that a strong immune system can "subdue" celiac disease is incorrect—the disease is the immune system mistakenly attacking the body. ...

Celiac.com 08/22/2025 - In recent years, many people without a diagnosis of celiac disease have chosen to avoid gluten, often because they believe it causes them discomfort or gastrointestinal symptoms. This trend has sparked debate over... -

Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. 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...

It could, but it could also mean that gluten still not being fully eliminated. It's important to get a celiac disease blood panel to help figure this out. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions that can cause damaged...

Yes, it is unfortunate that the GFCO seems to have a policy that allows companies that it certifies to lower their guard the longer that they've had their certification. After jumping though the harder GFCO testing requirements for long enough they seem to "rubber stamp" companies and allow them to keep their certification with much less testing going forward...

There are tons of ingredients that can cause IBS-like issues in anyone, but especially in newly diagnosed celiacs, and it would probably make sense for us to do an article on that topic, but here is an article that might be helpful:

If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten. -
DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain...

Alcohol
Scott Adams replied to James47's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
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--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. 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... -
I completely agree with you—celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are far more complex than mainstream medicine often acknowledges. The genetic component is vastly underrecognized, with multiple genes (not just HLA-DQ2/DQ8) contributing to susceptibility. Your point about HLA-DQA1:05 is critical; even ‘rarer’ genetic variants can have serious clinical impli...
