  1. Please explain more about the tests you took. What type of blood test was it? Which company offered the test? Also, there is no hair test for celiac disease--what was that test? Also, for your GP to test you for celiac disease you must keep eating gluten daily, and lots of it. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease...
  2. Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
  3. Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and...
  4. I am not sure about that brand specifically, but this article may be helpful:
  5. First, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this—constant bloating and gas can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve been so diligent with your gluten-free diet. Since nothing obvious has changed in your routine, a few possibilities come to mind: 1) Cross-contamination or hidden gluten (have you introduced new brands, eaten out more, or tried process...
  6. Finding gluten-free and oat-free bars that aren’t overly sugary can be tricky, but there are some great options out there! For your little adventurers, consider GoMacro Kids bars (many are GF/oat-free and lower in sugar), 88 Acres Seed Bars (sweetened lightly with fruit), or The Good Crisp Company’s protein bars (grain-free and not too sweet). For homemade ide...
  7. Using anti-inflammatories for symptom management after inadvertent gluten exposure can be a helpful short-term strategy, particularly for reducing discomfort like inflammation, pain, or swelling. However, it shouldn’t replace strict adherence to a gluten-free diet as the primary treatment for conditions like celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While NSAIDs (...
  8. This category has articles on research on potential treatments for celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-diagnosis-testing-amp-treatment/
  9. Celiac.com 06/09/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. The only current treatment is a str...
  10. Celiac.com 06/07/2025 - In the heart of the Philippines, Ginataang Gulay has long been a beloved comfort food, blending the richness of coconut milk with the earthy freshness of local vegetables. "Ginataan" comes from the Filipino word...
  11. You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...
  12. That is true! 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. 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 issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats...
  13. 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, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
  14. Many people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease report throat-related symptoms, including a phlegmy, thick, or "sticky" feeling after gluten exposure. This could be due to inflammation, mild allergic response (like a wheat allergy), or even silent reflux triggered by gluten. Some also describe a "gluten globus" sensation—like something is stuck in t...
  15. You are correct--my bad! The ingredients do include wheat starch, and the fact that their products are certified gluten-free means that they test below 10ppm, but again, some celiacs do report issues with products that use Codex wheat starch. Here is the label of the one I though was wheat-free:
  16. Your diligence in managing cross-contamination is impressive, and it does sound like the dishwasher could be the culprit—especially since your symptoms started around the time you got it. Even if plates and cutlery look clean, gluten proteins can linger if the dishwasher isn’t effectively removing residue. Grittiness or visible marks suggest it may not be ...
  17. Your situation sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re taking a proactive approach to uncovering potential triggers for your Ménière’s symptoms. Given your family history of celiac, low folate, ferritin, and total protein (all of which can hint at malabsorption), and your possible IgA deficiency, further investigation is absolutely warranted. S...

  21. I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:
  22. It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality w...
  23. Celiac.com 06/04/2025 - Costco’s famous rotisserie chicken is a staple for many households—affordable, convenient, and delicious. But for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the big question is: Is it safe to eat? In thi...
