      I really did tell her to have gluten-free days. Her negative result is on me and some days she barely ate because of how sick she felt.

      So just to clarify, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease rather than an allergy, and you mentioned that you had allergy tests done. Can you share with us your celiac disease blood test results along with the reference range for a positive test? Also, did you get the results back for your DH biopsy?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Thanks for your response Scott. They don’t immediately go away. If she consumes gluten on accident, then she is sick for a couple to a few days. She worked at a summer camp and this summer the chef contaminated the food and that one incident landed her in the infirmary for 2 days. She couldn’t stay longer because her cabin didn’t have a replacement councillor. Not to mention it affected her skin and the other person who had celiac offered her his cream he uses!! It helped but she still has the scarring from all the scratching.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
