    Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so...

    Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

    So, this is a past problem that is now corrected after going gluten free?

    Are you on diuretics or other meds that are known to deplete potassium?

    Should be. Isn't Vodka made from potatoes?

    In my understanding, in Asian cuisine, there are two traditional recipes for making soy sauce. One uses wheat as an ingredient, the other does not. The wheated kind is by far the most common one found in the USA. But there are food companies that put out the other. Read through this thread.

    Gluten intolerance is celiac disease. You must mean to say you are not a celiac but you are gluten sensitive.

    @GTB, I am perplexed by your statement, "I suspect I will remain on a gluten free diet . . .". It sounds like you consider this optional or that you can be cured of celiac disease by temporarily going on a gluten-free diet.

    I think this may have a lot to do with general awareness about celiac disease, the huge range of symptoms it can present with and moving away from the dated paradigm that celiac disease a will necessarily manifest itself in childhood or not at all, all leading to much higher per capita testing rates.

    @Aretaeus Cappadocia, I think the dangers to cognitive function of chronic "first generation" antihistamine use have been known or at least suspected for a long time. However, most people I know who suffer from allergies, including myself, have switched to using "second generation" antihistamines like zyrtec, allegra, or claritin which seem not to pose such...

    Yes, you need to get tested for dermatitis herpetiformis. But as Scott said, not all dermatologists know how to perform the biopsy correctly. Do some leg work first.

    But I also found this: https://idahopotato.com/dr-potato/is-glyphosate-applied-to-idaho-potatoes So, herbicide use may vary dramatically from location to location.

    @Stegosaurus, Wow! I didn't realize that. Thanks for sharing that. For sure, this is an organic product worth paying more for or growing yourself if you have garden space.

    @Aileen Cregan, may I ask, what blood pressure med are you on? There is one that blunts the small bowel villi like gluten does. It is olmesartan.

    Stegosaurus, one size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years...

    While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

    Some celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do the wheat protein gluten. It has a similar structure. On top of that, do you know if the Purely Elizabeth Classic Cinnamon product carries a gluten-free rating. Mainline oatmeal products can be heavily cross-contaminated with wheat/barley.

    Welcome to the celiac.com community, @KaCS! Do you still consume oats? I'm not asking if you are eating mainstream oat products vs. gluten free oats. I am asking if you are eating oats period.

    @knightayres, the gluten challenge is the intentional reintroduction of gluten into the diet in order to create a valid celiac disease test experience. It applies in the situation where people have already been experimenting with the gluten free diet (or a significantly reduced gluten diet) to see if doing so reduces the symptoms they have been dealing with...

    @ElleH, thanks for the additional information. Makes more sense now.

    Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ElleH! Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease but I'm not aware of an association between celiac disease or glutening episodes and, specifically, meniscus tears. I certainly would consider another medical reason. I don't mean to come across as scolding you but how is it that these major gluten...

    "In addition to the better known Ni-ACD, there is also a clinical condition defined Nickel Allergic Contact Mucositis (Ni-ACM) (Borghini et al., 2017) that can affect sensitized subjects after the ingestion of Ni-containing foods. Tomatoes, mushrooms, cocoa, coffee, legumes, corn, soy, onion and many other foods are rich in Ni" Like so many other potential...

    Unrinsed quinoa actually makes me quite ill. I think it's a saponin or a lectin or something that coats the seed that is the problem.
  24. trents
    Good to know. Thanks for sharing. Personally, I'm not a fan of quinoa but it is a viable wheat alternative for many celiacs.

    Welcome to the celiac.com, @Mich1724! As Scott Adams said, the withdrawal of gluten from your diet prior to testing casts doubt on the reliability of your test scores. It takes time - weeks/months - after resuming gluten consumption, for antibody levels to build up to the point of detectability by testing after having been on a gluten fast. So, unless you...
