    Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fa...

    I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com

    Your approach makes a lot of sense — focusing on balanced meals and being cautious about cross-contamination is smart, especially when you’re traveling or unsure of a kitchen’s gluten-free practices. Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can h...

    I agree, unfortunately a gluten challenge means intentional gut damage and inflammation to those with celiac disease, and taking lots of AN-PEP enzymes could potentially decrease this and skew the results, although I've not seen specific studies on this idea.

    I’m really sorry you’re going through this — what you’re describing is, unfortunately, something many long-term celiac patients encounter. A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with ...

    It sounds like you’re doing a really thoughtful, disciplined job listening to your body and tightening things up where needed. Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating o...

    Just be sure that she continues eating lots of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise going gluten-free beforehand could create false negative results.

    My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test? If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase...

    I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and...

    You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

    Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten ...

    That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people wit...

    I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

    Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger...

    Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to bui...

    You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate...

    Your satiation is challenging and a common dilemma for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: distinguishing between a routine viral illness and a reaction to gluten exposure. The overlap in symptoms—fatigue, malaise, body aches, and general inflammation—makes it nearly impossible to tell them apart in the moment, especially with a h...
