    "Let’s face it, the gluten-free diet is complex and difficult to maneuver. Add to this the issue of common ingredients that never seem to get off lengthy lists of “things to question” and it’s no wonder that so many people doing their best to avoid gluten are still assailed by confusion and anxiety. That’s why we think it sometimes makes more sense to explai...

    If you want to gamble that your original antibodies were soooo sky high they wouldn't be back to normal. OR that the damage to your intestines so severe it couldn't have healed (did you almost die of malnutrition?) The problem is, people go back and try to get a positive test after all this time being gluten-free, and when it is negative - the doctors...

    If you want to be tested for Celiac, then you would have to eat gluten. http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/what-is-a-gluten-challenge/ Antibodies take time to build into the blood stream before they can be detected through blood analysis. For a gluten challenge we recommend eating 1/2 slice of bread or a cracker each day for the...

    Most starch is corn or potato,, If it is wheat starch it will be labelled to state "wheat" somewhere in the ngredients.

    Do your parents know? I think you need to talk with them about getting some counseling for you. Self-harming behavior is a serious medical/mental health issue.

    You can get an enodscopy at the same time as the colonoscopy. Endoscopy is usually to diagnose Celiac. Colonoscopy would be to see why there is blood in your stool. I thought the blood was in your stool? Not sure a GI doctor will care about most of the " tests" that non- medical people run on you.

    "October 20, 2017 (Mississauga, ON) The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has made an announcement that the words “gluten-free” will be removed from all Cheerios package sold in Canada by January 1, 2018. The Canadian Celiac Association first objected to the claim in August 2016 and strongly recommended that people with celiac disease not consume the...

    If you were gluten-free for months before the blood work, it should be negative. It is meaningless as a test for Celaic at that point. IF you have been eating gluten for the last 2 years, keep eating it and get a new blood test.

    this article made no mention of "gluten free beer". There is no reason to think that they are not actually gluten free as they are made with only gluten-free ingredients. This article is about beer made with barley. These are not gluten-free beers but often called "gluten reduced" or "gluten removed" in the marketplace. They are not legally allowed...

    First - having a gene for Celiac does not the mean you have Celiac. second - if you are eating gluten free, you won't make antibodies to gluten. So the blood tests for Celiac will likely be negative. i hope you are actually going to an MD for the thyroid issues? If not, please check with a doctor. Any doctor can do a blood test...

    Austin's are good ciders! I have good luck using regular ( non- alcoholic) cider, especially for pork roasts and pork chops! but they do leave a bit of an Apple taste. I think Austins has a dry cider? That is less sweet, more beer- like. They also have an interesting orange flavored one. Might be good for chicken dishes. The pineapple...

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29047268 "...standard, a competitive ELISA, may indicate gluten values <20 mg/kg, which is deemed safe for people with celiac disease. However, in this study, LC-MS analyses revealed gluten peptides derived from hydrolysed fragments, many >30 kDa in size. Barley gluten (hordeins) were detected in all beers...

    I think she wants you to be strictly gluten free and heal. Not give you things to patch up the damage you are causing by not getting your antibodies down and healing. I am sure she expected that you would take your diagnosis seriously and eat gluten-free. 4 months after your diagnosis, your antibodies would have gone down better. But you weren't eating...

    Mine didn't count past 100 - so I was over 100. When the numbers are that high, it means you have Celiac. Slightly elevated numbers can sometimes be caused by other things. Welcome to the club!

    I am not sure which post you are are referring to. But soy sauce usually contains wheat. There are a few , sometimes called tamri sauce, that do not . You might also find that a restaurant could make food without any soy sauce or soy sauce based sauces.

    Do a little research? Google and then check out the manufacturers and see what is available in your area? Read some threads about products that people are discussing and look them up? I think most of us know what we can get in our area but would have no clue about where companies ship to or how they handle wholesale transactions. You haven't said...

    If she was actually diagnosed, by a skin biopsy, for DH, then she has Celiac. NO need for further testing. http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/can-a-skin-biopsy-for-dermatitis-herpetiformis-dh-confirm-celiac-disease-or-is-an-endoscopy-still-needed/
