  1. In people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger migraine headaches, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/
  2. They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, but anything is possible. It looks like their product contains Xanthan Gum, is it possible you have issues with Xanthan Gum? https://www.maninis.com/products/4-cheese-tortelloni/ This article might be helpful:
  3. There are many different anti-inflammatory drugs that are effective in treating ulcerative colitis, have you tried any?
  4. So keep eating gluten daily, lots of it, until all celiac disease screening is completed. A negative biopsy would not rule out NCGS. 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.
  5. Celiac.com 12/25/2024 - Arepas, a beloved staple in Latin American cuisine, especially in countries like Venezuela and Colombia, date back to pre-Columbian times when indigenous peoples used corn as a fundamental part of their diet. Traditionally...
  6. Ultimately you have to be responsible for your own health, regardless of how it might affect others, and this is especially true if you have both celiac disease and a severe nut allergy. Eating out is the most common source of gluten contamination, even in restaurants that have gluten-free menus. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean...
  7. It looks like you had a positive blood test for celiac disease, so the next step could be an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease. 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.
  8. Celiac.com 12/24/2024 - In Nova Scotia, Canada, parents of children with food allergies and dietary restrictions are raising concerns over a new provincial school lunch program. For families like Ashley Hickey’s and Gunter Holthoff’s,...
  9. It is definitely possible for you to be sensitive to maltodextrin, even it if is gluten-free. In the United States, maltodextrin is occasionally made from wheat, but it is still considered gluten-free by FDA standards. Here’s why: Why Maltodextrin is Gluten-Free: Highly Processed: Maltodextrin, regardless of its source (corn, rice, potato, ...
  10. Dr. William Parker says you can't know ahead of time how many helminths to infect yourself with, and taking too much can make you "very, very sick," and it can cause a lot of the same symptoms that might be trying to treat, such as anemia, mental fog, severe gastrointestinal pains, muscle aches, etc., and being infected by too many can cause an inflammatory...
  11. Miso can be gluten-free, but it depends on the ingredients and how it's made. Miso is a fermented paste made primarily from soybeans, salt, and koji (a mold used for fermentation). Some varieties also include grains such as rice, barley, or wheat. Rice-based miso is typically gluten-free. Barley or wheat-based miso contains gluten and is not safe for those...
  12. It sounds like you’re navigating a lot of testing and trying to make sense of your results. While I’m not a medical professional, I can share some insights that might help. A calprotectin level of 2500 is quite high and typically indicates significant inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. This could be due to a variety of conditions, including cel...
  13. There is no way to know for sure when an autoimmune disease might be triggered in someone, and this is just a theory that you might want to bring up with your doctor if your dry eye issues are prolonged. Of course you may not have Sjogren's, but it might be worth checking into if your issues are ongoing.
  14. Great advice, as having one autoimmune disease makes you more vulnerable to getting others.
  15. Celiac.com 12/23/2024 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine, making it difficult for the body to absorb essential nutrients. This condition can occur globally, especially in individuals with other...
  16. Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them. Hunt's Tomato Paste: https://www.hunts.com/tomato-sauce-paste/tomato-paste Hunt's Tomato Sauce: https://www.hunts.com/tomato-sauce-and-paste/tomato...
  17. We at Celiac.com believe that raising more awareness for those with serious food allergies--especially about why it's not a good idea to use top allergens like peanut flour in gluten-free products in an unexpected way (for example not sprinkled on top where the peanuts would be visible)--may help prevent it from happening again.
  18. Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
  19. Histamine itself does not have a taste. The salty taste associated with tears or mucus comes from their electrolyte content, not from histamine. While histamine can be part of various immune responses, its connection to gluten reactions is not direct, and it does not taste salty. The salty taste of tears and mucus is due to their sodium chloride content,...
  20. Celiac.com 12/20/2024 - Living with celiac disease means more than just avoiding gluten; it involves a lifelong commitment to a strict diet that ensures every ingredient and meal is free from even trace amounts of gluten. However, the...
  21. Let us know what you find out, the reference ranges should appear on the original test results.
  22. Celiac.com 12/19/2024 - For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, managing a gluten-free lifestyle often goes beyond just food choices. While most people are aware of the need to avoid gluten-containing foods like wheat...
  23. I didn't have the issue until ~25 years after I went gluten-free. It's possible that our dry eye issues are not related to celiac disease...difficult to know for sure.
  24. This might be an idea: https://www.hickoryfarms.com/gift-baskets/gluten-free/
  25. Ok, sorry...do you eat oats? Around 10% of celiacs react to oats, even certified gluten-free oats. You may want to cut out oats and dairy/casein for a while to see if this helps. 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...
