I can't really comment on much, but I was struck that although you've been gluten-free for 5 years (except for the past 3 weeks, eating gluten), you are anemic. Do you know more about that, why that is? At any rate, it could be that if indeed you do have celiac disease, the 5 years was good enough to heal your gut, and it could be (see? lots of maybes...

A Gluten-Free Diet May Not Stop Gut Inflammation for all Celiac Disease Patients
plumbago commented on Scott Adams's article in Latest Research
A while back, I posted something on this forum about a conversation I had with someone at the farmers' market about cows eating wheat and then me eating the meat of that cow, and how she said technically that meat is not gluten free. I was corrected on here. At the time of the conversation at the FM, it struck me as odd and not quite right. It still doesn...- 52 comments

Do healthcare workers have to take the vaccine?
plumbago replied to EllenNeal's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I work in healthcare and I was one of the first to line up for a vaccine! We were strongly strongly encouraged to get it, and hopefully you can see the sense it makes for those providing care to get the shot(s). While I did not have to get it, I was strongly encourage to do so, and there emerged a feeling in the air that we should do this to protect each... -
Velveeta and Twenty Other Surprisingly Gluten-Free Foods
plumbago commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Hi there, you are such a good grandmother, first of all. I just google-imaged the nutrition label for velveeta and didn't see any gluten ingredients. However, I do not know the ins and outs of the many additives it appears to have. Other regular users in this forum are far more dedicated and knowledgeable about those than I am - perhaps they will chime in...- 19 comments

But that's not keto. ?
-
Hi @yogajc I hope some regular commenters reply to you. Having been intrigued, impressed by and interested in the success of the ketogenic diet, particularly as it pertains to metabolic and blood vessel health, I have not ever attempted to seriously maintain myself on it, having been daunted by many of the same issues you are. However, in my many forays...

colonoscopy
plumbago replied to debbie2426's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Can you share the link that indicates the Dulcolax has gluten? I searched online and couldn't find it. I did see that the Australian site for Dulcolax says it's gluten free. But that doesn't mean the US version is. They may also have different definitions of gluten-free. https://dulcolax.com.au/products/tablets/ -
Symptoms/ feeling lost with it all
plumbago replied to Gerry92's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You're welcome. Important that you do have a specialist who can monitor this, to rule out a bleeding ulcer. Good luck. -
Symptoms/ feeling lost with it all
plumbago replied to Gerry92's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Coughing or vomiting up blood can be caused by blood in the upper GI system, in particular the stomach. If it truly is "coffee ground emesis" (vomit), that generally means it's been in the stomach a while. I'm not sure about the gallbladder. Maybe. I'm obviously not a GI specialist! You said, though, that you are coughing up blood, that's why I asked... -
Symptoms/ feeling lost with it all
plumbago replied to Gerry92's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My first thought reading this is to ask if the cough is from the GI or respiratory tract? Which do you think? Otherwise, you are doing the right thing by pursuing blood tests, just make sure your doc is ordering the right panel of tests. You can develop active celiac after testing negative 10 years ago, I would think. -

Whole Foods to Shut Gluten-Free Bakery
plumbago commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I sometimes shop at a market called Streets, which sells Katz gluten free pies. Usually I buy cherry or blueberry, but they also have apple, though I've never tried it. These are frozen pies that need to be heated, and the blueberry and cherry ones are very very good. I will add that they are hardly a "free" food - they have 18 whopping grams of sugar. So...- 8 comments

Today I was at the farmers' market and a nice vendor asked me, after I inquired about the sausage's gluten free-ness, how sensitive I am. Generally, I'm not someone who uses this terminology. Little background - I once saw Alessio Fasano - just because if I was going to have to give up cupcakes and beer I wanted to hear it from an expert! - and after telling...

How Meditation Can Help Ease the Stress of Living with Celiac Disease
plumbago commented on Will Williams's article in Winter 2021 Issue
I think you mean meditation, and if you are talking about doing as much good as a hot tub in relation to eating gluten, I likely agree with you. If you are talking about in general - I do not.- 3 comments

Diagnosed?
plumbago replied to bobandlucy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Something is definitely going on, and that's why it's good you're getting both the EGD and the colonoscopy. Your liver enzymes are normal, a good thing. Before diagnosis, my alkaline phosphatase (ALK) would sometimes come back low, which is consistent with celiac disease, I've learned. (All liver enzymes have since normalized for me.) It's interesting that... -

Diagnosed?

Sure, and to clarify my sentence, "What I wonder, given your symptoms, is if there is not another component," I mean, in addition to celiac disease. -
Diagnosed?
plumbago replied to bobandlucy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The two test results you posted are for exposure to gluten in the short term. One seems to have been positive, but not the other. Nevertheless, it does kind of seem like you had improvement on a gluten-free diet. What I wonder, given your symptoms, is if there is not another component, such as SIBO or maybe a colitis. It may be worth investigating. Good that... -
I just ate some marinara sauce and could feel the beginnings of some activity inside my mouth, so for me, it's very likely acidic foods (and the SLS in toothpaste), and not any vitamin deficiency and for sure not anemia. Good luck Rory.

I am gluten free and still occasionally get aphthous ulcers, which I wrote about here: I think it might be stress, acidic foods, and/or the toothpaste I used to use.

Shampoo & Conditioner
plumbago replied to Wisconsin woman's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It was 10 years ago that I was initially tested. Of those tests (ttg-IgA; gliadin peptide IgG; and gliadin peptide IgA) none had a range of 0. At the time, for the tests I had, you should aim for less than 7 (I did not meet that mark). In addition, my D3 and B12 were low, so too ferritin (though that continues to be low now and again).
