- cameo674 replied to cameo674's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms8Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?
Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3. I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules. I... -

Thank you for the response. I didn't think of the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx.

I REALLY felt the doctors taking... -

People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do. I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten. Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients. I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their... -

Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and...
