I've been eating Motts without any problems for years. I read all labels and it was pretty clear that apple sauce did not contain gluten. It only takes about an hour or less for accidental consumption of gluten to hit me hard.

  Rating of 4 jars for this incubation round
  
  Seven days in the mark from the inoculation is becoming much less noticeable. I expect by ten days all that will be left will be some slight redness. I had worried that the pressure bandage would crush the larvae but apparently they minded it not at all. The wrap made keeping the bandage in place much easier. Highly recommended.

  How to diagnose NCGS / false positive Celiac / extreme fatigue, night terrors
  
  Yes, that is the goal. Although, appearances can be deceiving. There are studies that show some dimensions of villous mucosa healing may forever evade the celiac. Somethig thath has been termed "gene scaring".: https://www.beyondceliac.org/research-news/potential-drug-to-treat-celiac-disease-prevents-damage-caused-by-gluten-in-recent-study-of-molecular-action...

  Help plz with results. celiac?
  
  Your total IGA is normal. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease as such. The total IGA score simply establishes whether or not you are IGA deficient. If people are IGA deficient, then the individual IGA antibody tests cannot be trusted as being accurate because they will likely yield artificially low scores.

  How to diagnose NCGS / false positive Celiac / extreme fatigue, night terrors
  
  That is the goal of a gluten-free diet, @SunshineFace. But there is another possibility that you did not list, which is that no damage has occurred yet, and it may be a matter of time. However, if in your scenario, the EGD you reference occurred in someone previously diagnosed with celiac disease who had been eating gluten-free for some time, then...

  How to diagnose NCGS / false positive Celiac / extreme fatigue, night terrors
  
  Hello @trents! May I ask the question in reverse? If I present at EGD with zero villous atrophy confirmed with multiple biopsies, that means I am either presenting as a non-Celiac OR I've eaten well enough for long enough to heal all remnants of Celiac-induced atrophy? Is that the goal of a Celiac eating a gluten-free diet? To be indistinguishable from a...
