  1. Celiac.com 10/07/2025 - For many people, bread, pasta, pastries, and pizza are more than just food—they feel like comfort, tradition, and daily staples. Yet, for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, eating these foods c...
  2. Doan’s Bakery of Woodland Hills, CA is recalling White Chocolate Coconut and Carrot Bundt Cakes because they may contain undeclared wheat and milk. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat and/or milk run the risk of experiencing a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume these products. The recalled bundt cakes were sold b...
  3. It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks...
  4. Celiac.com 10/04/2025 - Breakfast pizzas are a modern twist on the age-old tradition of using flatbreads as a vehicle for hearty morning meals. While pizza itself originated in Italy, many cultures have long experimented with bread-like...
  5. Yes, and cross pollination would spread these modified genetics to non-GMO crops--putting the genie back in the bottle if something negative happens would be difficult.
  6. Enzymes can break down gliadin, just not well enough yet to allow you to eat wheat pizza (but perhaps may work with trace amounts of cross contamination)...see comments below this article too: They are working on GMO wheat that would be safe for celiac disease...but it would be GMO (currently there are no commercially used GMO wheat varieties):
  7. Celiac.com 10/03/2025 - For anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the first weeks of going gluten-free often feel overwhelming. One of the biggest frustrations comes in the kitchen: how to bake bread, muffins, cakes, or cookies...
  8. Lots of different cancer types = lots of different symptoms: "Celiac patients were found to have higher risks of cancer in the pancreas, esophagus, colon, liver, and especially the small intestine."
  9. Celiac.com 10/01/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is the foundation of treatment. However, many discover that even when they completely remove gluten from their diet, they still experience ongoing...
  10. Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about...
  11. I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
  12. Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden...
  13. What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested...
  14. Celiac.com 09/30/2025 - Media headlines, including a recent article in Scientific American about gluten, often make bold claims: "Gluten-free diets are unnecessary," or "Only people with celiac disease benefit from avoiding gluten." These...
  15. First, it's fantastic news that your diarrhea has resolved after a month—that is a huge and critical sign of healing, confirming that the gluten-free diet is starting to work. While it feels slow, this stabilization of your digestive system is the essential foundation upon which weight gain is built. Given the severity of your weight loss, dropping from 5...
  16. Celiac.com 09/29/2025 - Vitamin D has long been associated with healthy bones and the regulation of calcium in the body. However, scientists now understand that its role extends far beyond skeletal health. Almost every cell in the body...
  17. Celiac.com 09/27/2025 - Pizza has a long and storied history, stretching back to rustic flatbreads in the Mediterranean world. Traditionally topped with olive oil, herbs, and simple vegetables, these early versions paved the way for the...
  18. 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:
  19. This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—...
  20. The connection between celiac disease and thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, is well-established and statistically significant. Research indicates that individuals with celiac disease have a much higher prevalence of thyroid disease compared to the general population, with studies suggesting between 4-11% of celiacs...
  21. While thiamine is crucial for health, the specific mechanisms linking it to autoimmunity and autism as you've stated are not supported by robust evidence and go far beyond the conclusions of the studies you mention.
  22. Celiac.com 09/26/2025 - For people living with celiac disease, the only effective treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Unlike food sensitivities or intolerances, this condition is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small...
  23. Talk about sowing confusion...why does Gaviscon's website say: and when you ask them about this directly they reply with a letter saying that their product might contain gluten? This seems like false advertising to me! @FayeBr you may very well be reacting to gluten in the product, given their terrible response.
  24. There are lots of reports of covid-19 infection triggering people's celiac disease, so it seems possible that the vaccine may be a factor for some people as well. Currently there are several other viruses that have been implicated in triggering celiac disease in those who have the genes for it.
