Celiac.com 03/19/2026 - This study explored why two autoimmune diseases that often share genetic risk factors—celiac disease and type one diabetes—do not always develop together. Although both conditions are strongly linked to the sam...- 3 comments

That sounds incredibly frustrating, and you’re right to take it seriously—especially since for someone with celiac disease, “gluten-free” has to mean truly free from cross-contact, not just menu labeling. Facilities that claim they can accommodate medical dietary needs but fail to do so may be misrepresenting their services, and in some cases this can rai...

You are definitely lucky, as we see many posts in this site's forum where various friends and family members are far less supportive, and sometimes even outright hostile when it comes to their handling of the issue.

Celiac.com 03/18/2026 - Celiac disease is widely known as a condition in which gluten triggers immune damage throughout the small intestine. In many patients, this damage is extensive and easy to identify using standard diagnostic techniques...- 1 comment

There is a new gluten-free Chez-Its that just launched....😉

What your son is experiencing isn’t unheard of, and your doctor’s cautious “watch and monitor” approach makes sense given the mixed signals. In celiac disease, inflammation is typically strongest in the proximal small intestine, but downstream effects—especially after long periods of undiagnosed disease—can sometimes involve the distal or terminal ileum, eith...

The description of HLA genes as helping the immune system distinguish “self” from foreign proteins is broadly correct, and in celiac disease the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules present gluten peptides to immune cells after tissue transglutaminase modifies them, which triggers the autoimmune response. However, several parts of the explanation are oversimplified or ...

Idahoan contains gluten?
Scott Adams replied to KristinH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
To me the removal might mean that they are manufactured in a facility that processes gluten, or their ingredient suppliers can't guarantee gluten-free supplies, but the only way to know for sure would be to contact the company directly. When looking at their website I do still see "gluten-free" on some of their products, which means they should be safe: ...

It's possible they could have a batch issue again, I too eat those bagels and haven't had issues with them--my daughter eats them as well. I hope they are gluten-free! I wish Trader Joe's would be more transparent with their manufacturing process, and their gluten-free testing standards.
-
Although it seems they have had issues in the past, I am not sure if Trader Joe's might have issues with their gluten-free products, as they are made in a GF facility. My daughter and I have been eating those bagels as well, with zero issues. This, of course, does not mean that they could still have issues with certain batches, in certain areas, etc.

Celiac.com 03/16/2026 - Many people experience ongoing digestive problems after eating, such as bloating, stomach pain, nausea, or diarrhea. When medical testing does not show celiac disease or a clear food allergy, these symptoms are... -
Celiac.com 03/13/2026 - People with celiac disease have a higher risk of weak bones and fractures. A gluten-free diet can help bone health improve over time, but many adults still face a long-term fracture risk, which is why early bone...-

The HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes are part of the immune system’s antigen-presentation system—they help immune cells recognize and respond to foreign proteins like bacteria or viruses. In people with celiac disease, those same molecules happen to bind certain gluten fragments very effectively and present them to T-cells, which can trigger the autoimmune reaction in ...

I don't want to boost their link, but if you wish to go down that rabbit hole here are some old comments on our articles: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/are-gluten-free-cheerios-really-unsafe-for-celiacs-r3903/page/6/?tab=comments#comment-18332

Wow, so the first GI diagnosed you with celiac disease, but never mentioned it to you? That is terrible, but it's great that you finally got an answer!
-
As already mentioned...IgA deficiency can make celiac testing more complicated, which is why doctors often rely on IgG-based tests like the tTG-IgG in those cases. A strongly positive result can raise suspicion for celiac disease, but blood tests alone are not considered definitive. The intestinal biopsy from the endoscopy is still the gold standard for diagnosis...

This recipe looks great--thanks for sharing it! Recipes used to be among the most common posts here. I hope more are shared.

Exciting gluten-free restaurant find in Central Florida!!
Scott Adams replied to Kwinkle's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Thanks for sharing--I hope it thrives and they open up more locations! -
This is a great topic, so thank you @Lotte18 for bringing it up, and it is a Celiac.com article-worthy topic for sure. CRISPR research related to celiac disease is still in very early stages, and most current work is focused on understanding the immune pathways involved rather than directly editing human DNA to prevent the disease. To date, there is...

Besides my deep dislike of their site's paywall model, they have NEVER responded to their early claims of Cheerios not being safe or gluten-free due to a post they made with their "hot spots" theory. Millions of boxes of these are sold weekly, so what happened that that big concern of theirs? They promised follow up on it, but never delivered. If their goal...

I may have already been mentioned here, but it may make sense to ask to have her thyroid levels checked, as thyroid issues are common with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/
