  1. Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed...
  2. It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out"...
  3. I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.
  4. 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 to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...
  5. It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? 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...
  6. I doubt they contain gluten, but I don't see any details on their site regarding allergens or gluten, so you may need to contact them directly about the source of their caramel color and natural flavors. https://www.schweppesus.com/products/ginger-ale/schweppes-regular-ginger-ale
  7. 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"...
  8. Celiac.com 09/08/2025 - This study explored how adults with newly diagnosed celiac disease often suffer from imbalanced levels of vitamins and trace elements. Researchers compared 59 celiac patients to 59 healthy individuals of similar...
  9. Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
  10. Celiac.com 09/06/2025 - Pizza, with its universal appeal and comforting flavor, has gone through centuries of transformation. Though it gained global recognition from its Italian roots, it continues to evolve to meet the needs of changing...
  11. This was written in 2005 for our Journal of Gluten Sensitivity, which was then a paper publication (now online here). Ron Hoggan retired many years ago, but his brother died of complications due to celiac disease, which propelled him into studying more about the subject, which led him to become a leading author and lecturer on the topic. He's written many...
  12. Celiac.com 09/05/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—triggers damage to the small intestine. While genetics play a role, environmental factors, particularly tho...
  13. I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have...
  14. PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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...
  15. You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance...
  16. Celiac.com 09/04/2025 - Celiac disease and thyroid disorders may seem like unrelated conditions at first glance, but research over the past few decades has uncovered a significant connection between the two. People diagnosed with celiac...
  17. GliadinX is a sponsor here that sells AN-PEP based enzymes which you can read more about here: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications
  18. Sounds like fun, and I was in Germany a few years ago so you might find these articles helpful:
  19. I think an important takeaway from this study is that contamination can happen during transportation, processing, etc., and not all companies that claim to sell "gluten-free" oats are checking into these potential issues in a thorough way. Many of these products could potentially be exported from Turkey to Europe and elsewhere, and they may still have "gluten...
  20. I just want to mention that we summarize the latest research on refractory celiac disease here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/
  21. I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.
  22. Celiac.com 09/03/2025 - People with celiac disease must avoid gluten completely to prevent symptoms and long-term damage to their intestines. However, checking if someone is truly following a gluten-free diet has always been difficult...
  23. This article is from: Journal of Gluten Sensitivity Autumn 2005 Issue. Bob's did not have GF oats back then.
  24. There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. 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...
  25. Since they make not "gluten-free" claim on their site: https://purito.com/product/new-oat-in-calming-gel-cream/ I'd treat this as though it contains small amounts to gluten, but I just want to mention that skin contact with gluten isn't an issue for the vast majority of celiacs.
