    I think you have to tick that box in your preferences.

    Bob's Red Mill online. Shipping might be expensive for you however since Bob's is in Oregon.

    You might want to cut out oats, at least for the time being, as about 10% of Celiacs react to oats like they do wheat, even oats that are not cross contaminated with wheat/barley/rye. Switch over to some other gluten free hot cereals such as corn grits, sorghum or buck wheat (not related to wheat). There are some delicious alternatives to oatsmeal.

    I have suffered with chronic, low grade sinus infections/inflammation much of my life. I was dx with celiac disease in my early 50s, about 18 years ago. It has been much better in the last several years but that coincided with retirement and less exposure to UR infections that was previously the case. I have permanent damage now to my sinus cavity mucosa...

    There could be a connection, at least indirectly through inflammatory processes being increased in general while back on gluten. And, as you say, you may also be allergic to wheat. With something like that its hard to say what the trigger is given the fact that the cold and flu season is upon us and the heating season as well. Are you experiencing...

    All of the symptoms and lab value irregularities you describe could be related to celiac disease. They are all well documented problems frequently accruing from or associated with celiac disease. Most or all of the things you mention may have a vitamin/mineral deficiency basis. Celiac Disease damage the villi lining the small bowel which is where essentially...

    Not all soy sauce contains wheat. La Choy brand does not. Hellodee, I assume that you clarified with Heinz that they use a soy sauce recipe that does contain wheat. My understanding is that in Asian culture there are basically two traditional formulations for soy sauce. One contains wheat and the other does not. Most of what we see in western countries...

    I would think that what you are experiencing is not abnormal at all. Even people without celiac disease commonly experience what you describe after being on antibiotics. For a long time, medical scientists have suspected that overuse of antibiotics, particularly early in life, can be a contributing factor to celiac disease because they kill off certain...

    Sorry, the B-complex at Costco is not Kirkland but Nature Made. I told you wrong.
  11. trents
    Costco carries a lot of gluten-free products, not only vitamins and supplements but food items as well. And they are clearly marked most of the time. Costco has good quality control.
  12. trents
    Kirkland (Costco store brand) multivitamin. gluten-free. Also, I would suggest taking a B Complex. Again, Kirkland has a gluten free B complex.

    SIBO?
  14. trents
    Yes, not much to conclude until you get the biopsy report.

    Candida is a yeast and so thrives on carbs. Have you tried an ultra low carb diet such as the keto diet?

    Welcome to the forum, Walter. You have several things going on there that need attention. The swollen glands in the cheeks is a new one I haven't heard of before. The numbness could be due to Celiac disease as neurological problems are common with celiac disease. Hashimoto's is a thyroid disease and likely causing the low levels of thyroid...

    Many celiacs do not have significant GI distress before diagnosis. I was one of them. Absence of significant GI distress does not mean there is no damage occurring to the small bowel villi and also causing other health issues that may take some time to surface. We call this "silent celiac disease."

    I wasn't diagnosed until my early 50s and have found healing. Certainly you can. There are still many things you can eat and the best part is you will find yourself switching over to eating more fresh foods and less processed foods, thus healthier eating. It will put a severe limit on eating out in restaurants and at other people's houses unless they are...

    A delicious alternative IMO to oatmeal is buckwheat. It is also packed with nutrition. Takes about 10 minutes to cook. It is not related to wheat or any other cereal grain. It is actually the seeds of a plant related to rhubarb.

    Look for the logo "Certified Gluten Free" when you have a choice. "Certified" would have been tested for sure. I see a lot of stuff on Amazon that is labeled "Naturally Gluten Free" and I'm suspicious of it as that would not seem to preclude cross contamination. I purchase a lot of "gluten free" products from Bob's Red Mill and even though not "Certified...

    I think La Choy brand soy sauce is wheat free.

    An endoscopy and biopsy will not yield valid results if you have been eating gluten-free for any length of time before it is done.
  23. trents
    Did you mention to your physician that you had been making an effort to eat gluten-free for a week, two weeks before the test but that you had returned to eating gluten a week before the test? Not sure that brief hiatus from gluten would totally invalidate the test but it might have some mitigating effect on the actual scores. I would bring that up with the...

    Yes, many of us suffer from migraines.

    Aye! Discretion is the better part of valor. But your experience, Scott, makes me inclined to ask questions up front when I go to restaurants having gluten-free menu sections an/or to request the "gluten-free" food be cooked in clean and separate pots and pans.
