  1. When you are first diagnosed it is very normal to feel overwhelmed and depressed about the vast dietary changes that a 100% gluten-free diet entails. 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...
  2. Thanks for sharing this! Bread machines are still the way to go if you want outstanding gluten-free breads.
  3. What you've described is every celiac's nightmare, and it's very frustrating to be failed by a product that was specifically labeled as safe. It would be great to know which product it was so others here can be warned. Six weeks of inadvertent exposure is a significant insult to your system, and it's no wonder that after two weeks you are still feeling...
  4. Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified p...
  5. Celiac.com 09/23/2025 - Starbucks plans to "reimagine" its baked items and push deeper into protein-rich and gluten-free choices, including a new protein cold foam, as CEO Brian Niccol refocuses the brand. That's big news for anyone managing...
  6. The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.
  7. Celiac.com 09/22/2025 - Celiac disease is a condition in which the body reacts negatively to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. People with this disorder experience inflammation and damage in the small intestine when gluten...
  8. Celiac.com 09/20/2025 - Polenta, a dish with humble roots in Northern Italy, has long been a staple for its versatility and comfort. Traditionally served soft and creamy as a porridge, polenta also transforms beautifully when chilled and...
  9. Celiac.com 09/19/2025 – Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, from digestive problems to skin, bone, and neurological issues. Some people experience many symptoms o...
  10. Shopping and label-reading with celiac disease is easier with a reliable safe list. This curated, regularly updated guide highlights foods and ingredients that are naturally gluten-free or typically gluten-free when used in foods, beverages...
  11. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s crucial to know which ingredients are unsafe and forbidden. This master list of ingredients that contain gluten, or may contain gluten depending on processing, is kept up to date f...
  12. Your theory about a post-COVID hyper-reactive immune response is very plausible and aligns with what many in the community and some healthcare providers are observing. COVID-19 is known to cause significant dysregulation and inflammation within the immune system, which can take time to settle down. It's not a stretch to think that during this heightened state...
  13. Go by ingredients--if there are no gluten ingredients it should be safe. The drug industry is very careful about contamination between runs on the same machinery, so cross-contamination is unlikely. Until they are required to disclose gluten, which they are not now required to do, they will just keep feeding people the same CYA legal line.
  14. Celiac.com September 2025 - Explore expert insights, research updates, and practical tips on celiac disease, gluten-free living, and emerging treatments in our video library. Stay informed and empowered with the latest developments to...
  15. 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"...
  16. Hi @Tannin, in general mushrooms haven't been on the radar as a gluten threat, so I am not sure why you seem to be so concerned with commercial mushrooms like button or Portabella varieties? While I appreciate the detailed perspective from a cultivation standpoint, I think it's important to clarify that the core concern you're describing—substrate c...
  17. Celiac.com 09/19/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This reaction damages the small intestine, leading to a variety of symptoms and long...
  18. Celiac.com 09/18/2025 - Many people believe that celiac disease is a condition that begins in childhood and that if you reach adulthood without symptoms, you are in the clear. This is a common misconception. In reality, celiac disease...
  19. While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living...
  20. It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sl...
  21. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly c...
  22. Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained...
  23. Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and...
  24. Welcome to the forum--and you are absolutely not alone in your experience with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity that presents with severe constipation and profound inflammatory consequences. While the more commonly discussed symptoms are diarrhea-centric, your reaction is a valid and documented, though less common, manifestation. It is completely understandable...
