    Consider going to the doctor as it could be stomach flu, food poisoning, etc., and if you are in that much pain be sure to contact your doctor ASAP. I hope you get better soon!

    It is possible to get gluten-free meals at restaurants, but there is always a risk of contamination. If you eat outside your home, you may want to consider taking AN-PEP enzymes with a meal, as there have been many studies done on AN-PEP which show that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. One...

    Hi @TabithaJ, since you've already linked your symptoms with eating gluten, can I ask why you feel the need of a formal diagnosis? You've talked about the various symptoms you've had, which could be explained by undiagnosed celiac disease, but since you had negative blood tests for celiac disease it's possible that you may not have villi damage. I ask about...

    I've had good luck using apps like Booking.com, Tripadvisor and Yelp to find gluten-friendly hotels and restaurants when traveling.

    I agree with @trents, but for genetic tests it does seem like there are some variations between different labs and the celiac gene markers that are included, but for your celiac disease blood test just make sure that a full celiac disease panel is done that includes total IgA.

    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:

    Yes, there are several gluten-free certifications out there (one is the GFCO), and the usual standard they claim is 10ppm, however, recent findings indicate that even the GFCO's higher standards may not ensure that foods they certify are gluten-free: @Lauraferleo Simple Mills may have issues and is included in this article:

    That is assuming there is cross-contamination, but you might find these articles interesting:

    Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

    Celiac.com 10/21/2024 - Wheat has been a staple in human diets for centuries, but for individuals with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities, consuming wheat can lead to serious health complications. The culprit? Gluten, particularly...

    I don't believe in the "weak positive" classification--it is a positive test, and your immune system is likely reacting to gluten in an abnormal way. 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.
  13. Scott Adams
    I agree with @trents and reactions can vary quite a bit from person to person, and can depend on the "dosage" of gluten ingested. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

    The amounts you're consuming seem reasonable. The recommended daily intake for folate is around 400-600 mcg for most adults, and you're likely meeting this through a combination of your supplement and diet. Natural folate from food, like what you're getting from beef liver, is less likely to cause toxicity compared to synthetic folic acid, even at higher...

    Like many with celiac disease I avoid oats--it's too bad Eban's includes GF oats in their breads, otherwise I'd give them a try. Wait, no I wouldn't...it's $9.99 per loaf, and $19.95 for shipping--Grand total $29.94! I'll stick to Franz GF Bread from Costco for ~$5 per loaf.

    If these cereals where made on shared equipment with wheat, then they would need to disclose wheat as a potential allergen on the ingredient labels, which they do not. Where did you get the information that these cereals are made on shared equipment?

    Welcome to the forum @JoeS. Although there may be medications that reduce or eliminate the symptoms of celiac disease, the bigger issue is that there are many known health risks associated with those who have celiac disease but are not on a 100% gluten-free diet. It would be good for you to encourage her to stick to that diet, and support her with that approach...

    I don't believe your doctor can make a blanket statement like "the diarrhea from celiac disease would not be stopped by the medications," because everyone is different. Many celiacs don't have any symptoms at all, including diarrhea. If you have celiac disease you should be 100% gluten-free, even if medications might hide your symptoms, and this is because...

    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"...

    Celiac.com 10/17/2024 - Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—damages the small intestine. People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity mus...

    It’s great that you’ve been to the doctor and are exploring all possibilities! However, it’s important to note that celiac disease testing, including antibody tests and endoscopy, should ideally be done while you're still consuming gluten. The fact that you don’t have diarrhea doesn't rule out celiac disease, as not everyone with celiac has diarrhea — sympt...

    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:

    I've not heard of a connection between gluten and styes, but it's possible. For years I had blepharitis as a symptom whenever I got gluten contamination. This article might be helpful:
