    What findings do you refer to? As far as I know, most beers are not gluten free since 1. Most beers are made from gluten containing grains and 2. Beer is not a distilled alcoholic beverage.

    What is in these tablets? Are they just an antihistamine or do they contain the allergens themselves as in desensitivity therapy?

    Too much magnesium supplementation can cause loose stools. That's how milk of magnesia works. But if you have been off the magnesium supplement for 9 days then it should be well out of your system. Something else is causing your issues. If you do decide to go back on magnesium supplementation, do some research on the various forms it comes in and which ones...

    I hear ya. All of us who have celiac disease struggle with that but over time you will adjust to this new reality and find ways to minimize the limitations it will impose on you. But because of your love for cooking and your culinary skills, maybe look at this as an opportunity to invent some truly delicious gluten-free recipes that will bring joy to...

    Many people with Celiac Disease are "silent" celiacs. That is, they don't experience significant GI symptoms. Couple that with the fact that in order for you to have a family history of Celiac Disease your relatives and ancestors would have to have been diagnosed with the condition. There could be celiacs in your family tree but they were silent celiacs and...

    Contact the company directly to check this out.

    Just pretend you know nothing about Celiac Disease and eat that way until your testing.

    You are overthinking the 2 slices of bread per day. That's just a rough guideline. The idea is to consume a significant amount amount of gluten each day rather than a trace amount.

    A person would need unhinged jaws like snake to be able to eat that sandwich!

    The article I was referencing must have it wrong then but I also quoted the article incorrectly. Having a bad day. Upon more research here is what I found: Here is a direct copy paste from the article: In addition to these organizations, there are also three programs which offer certification for gluten free foods: The Gluten Intolerance Group...

    This is helpful: https://www.schaer.com/en-us/a/certified-gluten-free I was in error. There are three certifying agencies. Two use the FDA recommendation of 20 ppm while gthe GFCO standard is 5 ppm, not 10. I think the GFCO has a distinctive logo bearing the letters GFCO but I'm not positive about that. Be careful with products that don't bear a...

    Certified gluten-free should be okay except for the most sensitive Celiacs. There are two gluten-free certifying bodies and one of them uses a stricter standard of 10ppm while the other uses the FDA guideline of 20ppm. If you don't have a problem with what you eat outside the hospital I would think that's no where the issue is.

    Your "organism"? Not sure what you are referring to with this word. Are you referring to your whole body or just your stomach (gut)? The definition of "organism" is an individual life form such as a plant, an animal or bacteria.

    Can you eat hard boiled eggs?

    Yes, but that analogy with a peanut allergy is breaks down in that celiac disease is not an allergy and it does not cause anaphylaxis, an immediate life-threatening condition. I'm glad it worked for you. We who have celiac disease already have a very hard time trying to get friends and family to understand it's not an allergy by an autoimmune disease and...

    From what I understand, Celiac Disease was first identified during WWII by a Dutch physician. There was a certain area of Holland that was cut off from food supplies by the German army and the population in the area eventually ran out of wheat flour and bread but there was other food available, dairy and some meat I imagine, but some folks cooked their tulip...

    Can you be more specific about the tests? I am not aware of any testing for Celiac Disease that would not be affected by going on a gluten-free diet for any length of time. "Consultant?" Is this person a physician? If you research this question I don't think you will find this consultant's advice to be true.

    If they aren't responsive, use another hospital next time. Do you have that option?

    Being on a gluten-free diet will likely invalidate any tests done for Celiac Disease.

    Contact the hospital administration and report that incident. The administration would want to know about it in order to take appropriate action to confront the staff member in question and educate them. If this staff member were being careless with your health needs then it is likely they would repeat it and endanger others. Here in the USA you get sent...

    High antibody scores with negative biopsy is certainly not a rare phenomenon. Several forum posters have shared the same experience. I would likely attribute that to the skill/experience (or lack of it) of the one doing the biopsy. It's not uncommon for the physician doing the biopsy to miss the affected area of the small bowel and take the samples instead...

    If eating gluten-free makes you feel better then I think you have your answer. Celiac Disease never goes away once it becomes expressed or active. It's in the genes like blue or brown eyes.

    Start eating foods that intentionally do not contain gluten but that are not labeled gluten free. Things that may say on the label, "produced on equipment that also processes wheat, tree nuts . . . ," etc. A good example would be Quaker Oats. Another example would be bacon and eggs cooked on a restaurant grill. Things that are likely to be cross contaminated...

    Scott, the endoscopy is not until Dec. 10. So maybe like 15 days.
