    Most welcome!

    Correct. But I would pursue testing for celiac disease first so you don't sabotage the test results by having gone on a gluten-free challenge.

    It is more common to be underweight with celiac disease but yes, some go the other way because their body tells them to eat more in order to try and make up for nutritional deficiencies. celiac disease causes poor absorption of nutrients. I'm wondering if you might have NCGS.

    Chicken, pork roast, lean beef, fish (not the oily, cold water ones like salmon), vegetables and fruit, rice and potatoes. Nothing with wheat, barely rye because of the celiac disease. Gluten is found on those three grains. Heavy creams and whole milk would be contraindicated if you are trying to avoid fatty food. How about skim milk? You might...

    Addy86, welcome to the forum. The first stage of celiac disease diagnosis is a blood test to for antibodies typically produced by celiac disease. The most important test is the Ttg-IGA but since it is very specific for celiac disease but not particularly sensitive, it is wise to have a more complete celiac panel blood test done as described here: https...

    I believe the Costco rotisserie chicken at our Costco in Tumwater, WA is labeled gluten free but I'll try to remember to check that next time we get one. It doesn't seem to cause me problems. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so minor amounts of gluten as you might get in cross contamination may not trigger a noticeable reaction in my case.

    "As I slowly started seeing the VAST amounts of food that I could have instead of the little things I couldn't have...the world opened back up for me." Well said, Enigmah! How true! It's an appropriate contextual twist on the old adage, "Is your glass half empty or half full?"

    Not a good long term solution. If you continue to skip meals like that to the tune of 90 lbs. per year your husband may be cooking for himself before much longer. Have you had a conversation with him about your need to eliminate wheat (and barley and rye) from your diet? Is he in denial about the reality of celiac disease as a medical condition? I realize...

    Do we know how many of the total screened population were female and how many male? Unless we know that number we cannot say whether female first degree relatives of celiacs are more likely to also have celiac disease.

    Scott, by "association" do you mean a contributing cause or the result of having celiac disease? I ask because the study sited by the OP suggests that D3 supplementation may be a causality rather than a response to celiac disease.
  11. trents
    Yes. Many celiacs are what we call "silent" celiacs. That is, they have few or no classic digestive distress. That's not to say, however, they will never develop it. Floating stools suggest you are not digesting fat properly and that is a classic symptom of celiac disease. It's related to the damage done to the small bowel villi by persistent inflammation...

    What about histamine intolerance? https://www.healthline.com/health/histamine-intolerance#symptoms

    So are you saying you have been checked for SIBO or for ARFID?
  14. trents
    "arfid"? Have you been checked for SIBO?
  15. trents
    Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? You have not said that but I wonder (assume) that is the case because you posted on a forum for celiac disease. Have you been checked for SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)? Have you been checked for gallbladder disease?

    DesJourdan, welcome to the forum! Does it seem to matter what you eat at such times? I would suggest keeping a food diary to see if there are patterns related to what you eat in the evenings. Also, when you say eat late, how late? How long before bed time?
  17. trents
    I realize this is anecdotal, but one of the frequently reported vitamin deficiencies by those who are newly diagnosed celiacs on this forum is D3. I also found this, a little dated however: "There is increasing awareness of celiac disease among non-European populations, including those in the Middle East. The disease was considered uncommon in the developing...

    I think you meant "silicon" instead of "silicone." Silicon is a mineral (most of what sand is made of) whereas silicone is a synthetic rubbery material.

    You would need to contact the company to get that information and even then, the source of the sterols may be various plants from time to time.

    laynuh, welcome to the forum! How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? It can take two years or longer for complete healing of the small bowel villi after going gluten free. What do you mean by "scalloping"? That term is not familiar to me? I wonder if you wouldn't benefit from steroids, at least short term, to quiet your immune...

    Many celiacs react to casein the same way that they do gluten and studies indicate casein can cause villi blunting in some people. What happens if you consume a teaspoon of pure cane sugar? Do you get sores on your tongue? That question might help you separate out whether it's the sugar or some other ingredient or ingredients that are causing your issue...

    Shaa, are you sure it's the lactose in milk and not the protein "casein" which is the primary protein in dairy? People can be lactose intolerant but many who blame lactose intolerance on their health issues are actually reacting to casein. It would be interesting for you to switch to lactose free milk for a time and see if your issues with milk don't resolve...

    Laura, you seem to be a frequent guest participant with substantive comments. Any reason you do not join the forum as a member?
  25. trents
    Doesn't look to me that those ingredients would contain gluten and unless you are a very sensitive celiac I wouldn't worry about warning that they are manufactured in a facility that produces gluten containing products. There's probably not enough, if any, cross contamination happening to elicit a celiac reaction. You will find this same situation with almost...
