  1. Here are two older articles we've done on this topic which might be helpful:
  2. Celiac.com 11/06/2024 - Aji de Gallina is a traditional Peruvian dish known for its rich, creamy, and mildly spicy sauce made with aji Amarillo peppers. This recipe has been adapted to be gluten-free, ensuring that everyone can enjoy its...
  3. A simple blood test should be done, and is usually the first step in diagnosing celiac disease. To do this you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before doing the test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease...
  4. Welcome to the forum. It looks like your DQ8 result is positive, which means you have a small chance of developing celiac disease. You should confirm this with your doctor, or the company who performed the test for you. This does not mean that you have, or will develop celiac disease, but it does mean that you could have it now, or could develop it at...
  5. Celiac.com 11/05/2024 - A new lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, where a former employee is accusing her previous employer of discrimination and wrongful termination. Lauren...
  6. I think that there is enough evidence which shows that everyone with suspected IBS should also be screened for celiac disease. If you'd like references for this please see this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/irritable-bowel-syndrome-and-celiac-disease/
  7. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
  8. Celiac.com 11/04/2024 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the digestive system, but its influence extends far beyond the gut. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, an immune response is triggered...
  9. Aloha! It sounds like you've been through so much with your own health and now your son's too—I completely understand why you're questioning celiac for all of you. Your symptoms and family history really do line up with what many experience with celiac disease. It’s common for it to be missed by doctors who end up treating the symptoms separately, as you...
  10. I just want to add that many celiacs do not have any obvious symptoms, but still have the same health risks if they continue to eat gluten. Unless all of her first-degree relatives, including yourself, are screened for celiac disease, there is not way to be sure that other relatives don't also have it (some studies have shown that up to 44% of first degree...
  11. I don't know of any that are certified gluten-free.
  12. Celiac.com 11/02/2024 - Tacu Tacu is a classic dish with Afro-Peruvian roots, originally created as a way to use up leftover rice and beans. Over time, it has evolved into a popular and versatile dish that pairs well with meat or seafood...
  13. Welcome to the forum! I’m sorry to hear about everything you’ve been going through—your symptoms sound so intense and scary. That reaction must have been very hard to endure, and it’s incredible that you’ve taken the steps to manage your health by going gluten-free. It’s not uncommon for some people’s gluten sensitivities to escalate into celiac diseas...
  14. Welcome to the forum! It took me 1-2 years to figure out the diet, but there is a lot more info now that is available so you should be able to do this faster. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): Many people with celiac disease, especially...
  15. Most egg nogs are naturally gluten-free with very basic ingredients like eggs, milk/cream, sugar, vanilla, and spices. They generally don't bother to label their products gluten-free. Just read the ingredients before purchasing to verify this.
  16. Yes, both could be symptoms of someone with celiac disease getting gluten. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful: Have you ever been screened for celiac disease? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you...
  17. It's very open ended, but using one can of each should work.
  18. As @trents mentioned, in the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference...
  19. I'm sorry to hear your daughter is going through this—waiting for more answers must feel so difficult, especially with her symptoms intensifying. Given her confirmed celiac marker and her current diet, it's certainly possible her digestive system could be reacting to gluten. Even before a formal diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet, celiac disease c...
  20. I agree that most celiacs don't need to worry about skin exposure to gluten, but since there are many gluten-free alternative skin and body care products on the market now, it's not a bad idea to switch over to them to be on the safe side.
  21. Celiac.com 10/31/2024 - Heinz, a well-known name in UK households, is facing considerable criticism following a recent recipe change to one of its classic products, baked beans with sausages. This dish has long been a staple in many kitchens...
  22. I totally get where you’re coming from! It can be so frustrating when people, especially family, don't fully understand or respect our food sensitivities. Sometimes, even after years of living gluten-free, the skepticism doesn’t seem to go away, and people think it’s “just a choice” or “not that serious.” With celiac disease and allergies, though, it’s not jus...
  23. Have you tried Gluten-Free Oreos? They make both chocolate and vanilla versions.
  24. Clearly a big factor for industry to replace wheat in this manner is cost, and if you exclude corn then costs begin to shoot up. The more mainstream grains you eliminate, the higher the cost.
  25. You might want to look into CBD based products (without THC). These are legal in most states and can help with pain and inflammation.
