At 60, with a family history of celiac disease (mother and sister) and HLA DQ2 positivity, celiac disease is a possibility despite negative tTG antibodies (total IgA was not checked). Your symptoms—abdominal discomfort, gas, brain fog, ataxia, and worsening with gluten or alcohol—could align with celiac disease, though the lack of improvement off gluten is ... -

Gluten in Escitalopram??
You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"... -

@meghanf, If they are not showing symptoms of Celiac Disease, please, don't expose them to gluten. If your daughters have been gluten free all this time, keeping them gluten free now is the best way to prevent them from developing Celiac Disease in the future. Have a genetic test done to see if they carry any known genes for Celiac Disease...- anti-tissue transglutaminase

JuggaloDad, A gluten-free diet is a cut and dry fix for some, but it's more complicated for many of us including me. I suffered from an infant to age 56, It took almost 10 years for me to zero in on non-gluten foods that caused me GI issues/pain. Zeroing in on the non-gluten items wasn't as easy as it was for hidden gluten for me. Dairy, coffee and onions...- 2weeks

Recent updates to "gluten challenge" recommendations are recommending a minimum consumption of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of testing. This is for adults. I do not know of any pretest gluten consumption guidelines for children. You might consider the "wait and see"...- 1

At 60, with a family history of celiac disease (mother and sister) and HLA DQ2 positivity, celiac disease is a possibility despite negative tTG antibodies (total IgA was not checked). Your symptoms—abdominal discomfort, gas, brain fog, ataxia, and worsening with gluten or alcohol—could align with celiac disease, though the lack of improvement off gluten is atypical. Normal imaging and fecal elastase reduce the likelihood of pancreatic issues, and a normal hydrogen breath test makes SIBO less likely. The upcoming biopsy will be key for diagnosis; continue eating gluten until then. If celiac disease is ruled out, consider non-celiac gluten sensitivity or a neurological evaluation for symptoms like ataxia and finger numbness. -

JuggaloDad, A gluten-free diet is a cut and dry fix for some, but it's more complicated for many of us including me. I suffered from an infant to age 56, It took almost 10 years for me to zero in on non-gluten foods that caused me GI issues/pain. Zeroing in on the non-gluten items wasn't as easy as it was for hidden gluten for me. Dairy, coffee and onions was the easiest, but corn, nuts, strawberries and bananas were the hardest. I finally did the Everywell test that matches foods with one's blood type. The test showed I could tolerate cheddar and mozzarella cheese as well as certain nuts. The test did show the positives and negatives of quite a few other foods as to how they matched my blood type. -
Could this be Celiac disease? I am a 60 YO male awaiting a biopsy in 4 weeks so eating gluten at present. 18 months of abdominal discomfort especially left upper quadrant, and altered sensation about left mid back, more gas at both ends, softer and more frequent motions and smelly farts but no steatorrhoea. No nausea or vomiting. Weight steady. Some brain fog, and occasional ataxia, and altered sensation about fingers. Occasional bluish tinge to nails though 02 saturation normal, and no breathlessness etc. Mother and sister have celiac. Symptoms not better off gluten, but worse when resume it or have any alcohol. Investigations: TTGs x 3 negative. (No total IgA ever done). Lipase but not amylase mildly elevated when worse but only 1.5-2 x ULN. Blood count, liver function tests normal. CRP normal. Faecal elastase normal x2. CT and MRI scans about organs all normal including pancreas. Endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound show normal pancreas over 18 months. Hydrogen breath test normal. Hp negative. Colonoscopy normal. HLA DQ2 positive. Thank you in advance.

My daughter has only been eating gluten free for maybe 2weeks and she is still complaining about her stomach pains and I'm under the impression that that is probably long term sign effects that her body is dealing with.... She went months before the diagnosis and well if she is still doin the eating disorder things then I'm sure that is only prolonging recovery on her guts.... She is very withdrawn with This entire process so I can only go off what I see and am aware of.... She at first refused all gluten free food and is now only eating gluten free but not 3 meals at day or anything... dietary doctor said for he to eat in like snack portions ,which she does but i would like to see her eat more but I'm ok with he atleast tryin.....I know it's a lot on her....but Im hoping maybe within a month she will stop experiencing the pains in stomach ( as long as she isn't sneaking gluten) and she will see the positive side of it all....., I'm also hoping that once we get a diet situated that her depression and etc balances out...... She is anti medication ( which is weird knowing she was self medicating with THC ) , so I'm hoping the nutrition and diet balancing will improve some of her mental pain as well .... I know that at 16 alot of factors come into play but I just want my daughter healthy and successful and this Celiac is nothing to try to overlook... ..
