Gluten-free advice

September 5, 2026 · 5 minGluten-free beer: which brands, and which are really barley-freeTwo families share the shelf: beers brewed without any gluten cereal, and barley beers that have been "gluten-removed". Three bottles sold in Europe to see the difference on the label, the brands in each family, and why 63 Nutrixe listings carry a "beer" flag.September 5, 2026 · 5 minCeliac Disease and Anemia: Why Iron Deficiency Is Often the First SignIron is absorbed in the duodenum, exactly the part of the gut celiac disease damages first. Anemia that does not respond to iron, with no cause found, is a reason to test for celiac disease in its own right. What to know, what corrects, and how long it takes.September 5, 2026 · 5 minCeliac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes: One Child in Twenty, Often With No SymptomsAround 5 to 8% of people with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease, usually silently. Why screening is routine, what a gluten-free diet does to blood sugar, and how to manage both day to day, especially in children.September 5, 2026 · 5 minCeliac Disease and the Thyroid: Why the Two So Often Travel TogetherAutoimmune thyroid conditions (Hashimoto's, Graves') are three to four times more common in people with celiac disease, and the other way round too. Why that is, what it means for screening, and why a gluten-free diet can change your levothyroxine dose.September 5, 2026 · 4 minLipstick, toothpaste, shampoo: does gluten in cosmetics matter?Gluten does not pass through the skin. What matters is what you swallow: lipstick, lip balm, toothpaste, mouthwash. Where wheat hides in cosmetics, under which names, and why shampoo is not the issue.September 5, 2026 · 5 minCeliac Disease After 50: The Late Diagnosis, and What It ChangesRoughly one celiac diagnosis in four or five is made after 60. The signs are different (anemia, bones, fatigue), healing is slower, deficiencies are more entrenched, and the diet is worth it at any age. What people who learn about the disease late go through, and how to handle it.September 5, 2026 · 4 minIs spelt gluten-free? No, and neither is einkornSpelt is a wheat. Einkorn is too. "Easier to digest", "ancient", "rustic" change nothing for a person with celiac disease: the gluten is there. Why the confusion is so widespread, and what to read on a "spelt" loaf.September 5, 2026 · 5 minCrossed Grain symbol, certification logo, "gluten-free" claim: three different thingsOn a packet, a Crossed Grain logo, a "gluten-free" in plain words and a brand's own pictogram do not prove the same thing. One is an audited licence, another a regulatory commitment, the third nothing at all. How to tell them apart.September 5, 2026 · 5 minLactose Intolerance and Gluten: Why They Often Come Together, and Which One PassesMany people with celiac disease can no longer handle milk at the time of diagnosis. It isn't a second disease: the lactose enzyme lives at the very tips of the villi that gluten destroyed. It comes back as the gut heals. How to tell this temporary intolerance apart from the real thing, how to manage it without losing calcium, and when to reintroduce.
