I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert. -

I would disagree with your assessment of the scientific validity of cross reactivity. It has been established in such things a CMP and meat glue. And it may be more difficult to confirm with regard to "gluten free" oats because of recent question marks about the reliability of certification protocols, the celiac community is pretty well convinced that cross...

Impossible to get diagnosis?
trents replied to allis's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
One thing you might consider is getting genetic testing done to see if you carry one of both of the genes that have been identified as providing potential for developing celiac disease. About 40% of the population carry one or both but only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it... -

I don't see any point in seeking allergy testing to determine if you have a wheat allergy. I think you already know that you need to avoid use of skin care/hair care products that contain wheat and it's derivatives. -
Do you mean cross contact or cross reactivity?

Impossible to get diagnosis?
trents replied to allis's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The latest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those seeking testing after having been on a gluten free diet for a significant period of time is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of testing. 10g of gluten is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. This would apply to either antibody testing... -

Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy. -

Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H". -

Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for... -
Canadians Call for Financial Relief for People with Celiac Disease
trents commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Andre, what if it costs the producer much more to make gluten-free bread than wheat bread but they cannot charge more in order to cover the extra expense? Is that fair? And what will happen in that case? Will the government need to subsidize the product? Will food companies just quit making gluten-free bread because they are losing money? Will food companies...- 2 comments

Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

Is Ka'Chava Gluten-Free?
trents commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
I contacted the company and they explained that the barley ingredient is taken from barley sprouts, not the mature grain head seeds. The sprouts do not contain gluten. Gluten production comes at a later stage in the plant's development. This is science. Some of you who are reacting to this product may be reacting to other ingredients and not gluten or... -
Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! It is possible that you are experiencing some kind of gluten withdrawal but I would thing that would have started to subside by now. There are a couple of possibilities that come to mind. One is the polysaccharide ingredients that are typically found in prepackaged "gluten-free" wheat flour facsimile foods. If...

High dosage of B12 gave me life.
trents replied to ChessFox's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome to the forum, @Kwinkle! Realize first that the B vitamins are water soluble which means excess is excreted in our urine and does not build up in our tissues like fat soluble vitamins do. So, there is little risk of toxicity with large doses of the B's. Second, if you start with smaller doses they may not be large enough to be therapeutic... -
There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/
