    Yes I realize. I was more concerned about cross contamination in the processing/packaging of it. Worth examining.

    Try a different doc. I was diagnosed by a naturopathic MD based on 3 things : high positive blood test, DNA test, response to gluten free diet. I have a letter from him with that diagnosis.
  3. Beverage
    Probably a lame question, but is the rice you are eating labeled gluten free?
  4. Beverage
    I think Spicely brand of spices might actually be certified gluten-free. I use Morton & Basset, labeled gluten-free. Also consider magnesium deficiency can bring on headaches.

    If you have been eating gluten free oatmeal, try not eating it for awhile. I used to not be able to eat it at all when first diagnosed with celiacs, but now I can eat purity protocol oats.

    I had a lot of acid reflux before and after my Celiac diagnosis. I apparently had a slight hiatal hernia, as in following the procedures in this article for heel thumping, I actually felt something slither down and suddenly a lot of my symptoms were greatly decreased. I continue to do things in this article, and have had only minimal symptoms ever since...

    With all the open bread bags and flour in the air at a Whole Foods bakery, nothing is safe for someone with Celiacs.

    Excellent info. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I'm taking 300mg benfotiamine, but since I had covid early last year, I've found a little asthma returning. I wasn't sure if I should increase or not. This really helps. And I'm going to research about that form needing the red blood cell to get across ... I have Thalassemia Minor, a genetic...

    @knitty kittyI'm a big fan of benfotiamine. How much do you take daily? Thanks.

    I don't think I am a super sensitive Celiac, but anything closer to the higher range of 20ppm would do me in over time. I've read articles that say wheat starch is safe for Celiac's because it is less than the legal definition for gluten free at 20ppm, however, many cannot tolerate that higher limit. I personally know several Celiac's besides myself, and...

    Not eating seeds and nuts is no longer recommended for diverticulitis. You can do an internet search and see that that advice has changed in recent years and is now considered a myth. Here is one example: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/diverticular-disease-greatest-myths-and-facts/ My sister has diverticulitis really bad, had a section of intestine...

    I've had good luck with Procapslabs.com vitamins. I'm a very sensitive celiac and never had a problem. They have 1 supplement with wheat grass I think, I stay away from that. We use their "Essential 1" for a multi. I've used them for years, before they were sold on tv, and the forms of the vitamins are usually the better more absorbable forms.

    I can't tolerate oats unless Purity Protocol. Try completely cutting out the oats for awhile.

    I have Celiac's. I have had a few weird rashes, but not tested for or diagnosed with DH. I got DNA testing through Genetrack Biolabs. Risk is same as yours, 1:210 HETEROZYGOUS HLA-DQB1*02 1:210 I'm not sure what "HLA-DQB1*02" means .... DQ2?

    Before I knew I had Celiacs, I was given Budesonide for sinus issues. It almost killed me, made my blood pressure sky rocket to stroke levels. Be careful, it's a strong steroid. Cooked pumpkin is often used to calm digestive distress. It worked well on my kitties when they got sick (not trying to be funny, but it is what vets typically try first for...

    My sister has diverticulitis and gets that sort of pain, upper left and sometimes lower left, when it flares up. It has been bad enough to get her into the hospital.

    Nicotinic acid has been used in naturopathic med for a long time. For cholesterol, they commonly say 2000mg. Lots of studies with higher doses. I've read a lot of studies, and many are not clear on the form, they confuse slow release issues, or niacinamide. I know many taking higher doses for years with only improvement in overall health. Also a Celiac...

    I started at 100mg nicotinic acid. The first time, the flush was very strong, but got less each day. I took 1500mg after I got covid, and recovered very quickly. Now I take 1000mg about 5 days a week. Double check your niacin. Make sure it does not say anything slow release...check the reviews on Amazon and if people are complaining about the flush...

    I've had fantastic results with the flush form of niacin, increased energy, strength, overall health, skin younger, feel younger, better sleep, and sinuses much more open, asthma gone. Quercetin didn't do anything for me.

    Thank you for sharing what you have learned, you don't know who else you might have helped, but I'm sure it was someone. I found that eating as close to a paleo diet as I could helped at lot, especially at first when there are so many gluten free products out there, that you don't know if they are really ok or not. Give your body time to heal. I...

    I dropped 30 lbs in a month when I first started gluten free. It was all water and inflammation, underneath I was like a skeleton. My doctor said some Celiacs are overweight like that, he had a few patients that were over 300 lbs. and they went to normal weight after going gluten free. As I felt better and could do more, and exercise, I have added back...

    Have you been checked for other conditions like Thalassemia? It's a genetic anemia, common in Mediterranean area descendants, Portuguese, Italians, and more. If something like that, you don't absorb iron and iron supplementation must be avoided or it can harm liver, etc. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 19, after docs always told me to take iron, but...
