  1. It's very open ended, but using one can of each should work.
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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.
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. Have you tried Gluten-Free Oreos? They make both chocolate and vanilla versions.
  8. 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.
  9. You might want to look into CBD based products (without THC). These are legal in most states and can help with pain and inflammation.
  10. Celiac.com 10/29/2024 - Ceviche, a centuries-old dish with roots in Peru, is a culinary treasure that celebrates the bounty of the sea. Believed to have originated with the ancient Mochica civilization along the northern coast of Peru...
  11. I just want to make sure that you've been eating gluten daily, 2-4 slices of wheat bread, for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood panel 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 might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be...
  12. Thank you for sharing, and I would only add that the 1/2 c oats should be gluten-free oats.
  13. This is quite interesting, and probably everyone who is newly diagnosed should exclude oats for a while, then reintroduce gluten-free oats slowly. I did not realize that such a high percentage, 38% of celiacs, react to avenin, or that if they react it could be a transient intolerance.
  14. We have an Arthritis and Celiac Disease category of articles that you may find interesting: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/
  15. It appears to be naturally gluten-free, but no labeled gluten-free: https://crackerbarrelcheese.com/product-cubes/
  16. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
  17. To clarify some points and provide context: GMO wheat, or genetically modified wheat, has never been commercially available, as confirmed by regulatory bodies like the USDA and international research organizations. This is due largely to environmental, regulatory, and market factors that have limited the use of GMO strains for wheat production. The wheat...
  18. There is no wheat GMO pollen contaminating anything, because commercial wheat is not GMO. It would take too long to debunk all of what you believe to be facts in this post, but given that your entire premise, that wheat is a GMO is incorrect, there is no need for me to waste my time.
  19. Celiac.com 10/25/2024 - In 1963, agricultural scientist Robert Baker at Cornell University revolutionized the food industry by inventing chicken nuggets. Baker’s goal was to use the often discarded parts of chickens by grinding them i...
  20. I see the info below in their FAQ, but nothing that would worry me about their apple cider. I don't see how gluten could end up in a juice processing plant, but if you are concerned you could contact them directly for more info. If wheat were a possible allergen, they would need to disclose this in the ingredients.
  21. The pasta should be gluten-free, and is made in a gluten-free facility, but this article may be helpful:
  22. Those meals, if labelled gluten-free, should be safe for celiacs. There are also canned foods that you might want to include in case of an emergency, and I personally have at least 2-3 weeks of food in my home in case of emergencies (here in California we've had wildfires in my area that left me stranded locked down in my home for weeks, and we of course...
  23. Of course in a perfect world it would be great if the entire family can go gluten-free, but that is unrealistic in most cases. For your family who eat regular gluten breads, it would be better if they ate prepared breads rather than baking them in your house, but if some in your home really like to bake, it would at least be advisable to create some...
  24. I've not had it, but it seems to be naturally gluten-free. Is that what you are wanting to find out?
  25. Welcome, and heartburn is a symptom, along with ~200 other symptoms, but many celiacs have no symptoms, however, this does not mean that their health is not at risk should they keep eating gluten--the health risks are the same to all celiacs, regardless of whether or not they have symptoms. This article has some detailed information on how to be ...
