York Test - Including Gluten In My Diet

Hi Everyone..

First thing i want to post is a big thanks to everyone on this board, and to the site in general. It has opened up my eyes to help me "self-diagnose" that i have gluten intolerence. I have cut as much gluten out of my diet as possible over the last 3months, and am feeling a good bit better.

I am and English guy, who is currently living in Paris, France and wanted to get some official testing done to ensure that i am not putting myself through all of this dietary trouble for no reason, but my medical french isnt up to much.. (lol).. -- and i am really missing croissants.. :(

I had been reading with interest the post about York's new test, and had a couple of questions..

Firstly, has anyone got any good/bad experiences with the tests which can be done by yourself?

My second question is around how long i need to put gluten back into my diet before doing a test, to ensure that the results reflect any condition that i may have??

Merci Beaucoup everyone..

Nick

I can't speak from experience on any tests, as I use my improvement in health as proof of gluten intolerance. Many have found diet to be the best and most reliable indicator by far. Also, being 100% gluten-free is really important. Just cutting out "most" isn't good enough if you have a true intolerance. The immune response, and subsequent damage will still result, though you may not know it.

Suppose you are told you have no intolerance to gluten? Would you go back to eating it and feeling sick again? Anyway, from what I've read, the typical test requires weeks or even months to get a fair amount of accuracy. Even then, it's not what it should be, at least from the posts I've read.

As for the gluten-free croissants, take a look here:

The maker of those lists enough ingredients that you might try duplicating the recipe.

Short answer: 2-3 slices of brad for 2-3 months.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I question your terminology. I believe "gluten intolerance" is used as a synonym for celiac disease in most circles today whereas "gluten sensitivity" is used of NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) though you still see a lot of inconsistency in how the terms are deployed.

      Testing 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 take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills.  They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

      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. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57!  I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea.  If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this.

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      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 bread... QUINOA
