Hi guys! I'm Allie, was diagnosed about two weeks ago. I've been receiving some conflicting advice about whether or not to continue consuming dairy, on all the blog posts I have read and general internet research, everyone says to avoid or lessen dairy intake until you are healed, which means been gluten free for about 12-18 months. But my dietitian who I recently started working with, who has been working with celiacs for 15 years, says that if I lessen my dairy intake I'm not only depriving myself of calcium but putting myself at risk for becoming lactose intolerant. Which I definitely do not want... However I do notice that recently (not sure if this is after I eat dairy or not) my stomach makes some odd rumbling noises... Thoughts?

If you can tolerant dairy, go for it!  Not all celiacs are lactose intolerant.  Many are temporarily lactose intolerant and it can resolve with healing (all bets are off if genetically you are lactose intolerant).  

If you think your stomach rumbling is due to a lactose intolerance, cut back on those dairy products which contain the least amount of lactose, like hard cheeses or yogurt.

I have vanilla ice cream every day for the calcium.

Admit it, you are having it because it is ?.  I am diabetic and am not really supposed to eat it, but I am having some now (1/2 vanilla ice cream with cream poured on it).  By increasing my fat, it slows down the digestion.  My blood sugar does not rise as fast.  That and I am going to do some bicep curls!!!!

Lol.:D I always liked having one Nestle Drumstick every day. And after my liquid diet is over I will switch to one Haagen Daz bar every day. But at the moment I am living on mashed potato soup, vanilla ice cream and chocolate drink along with gummy vitamins, D3 and magnesium oxide. These are all I can have and have my blood test numbers go down. I have tried many things.

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1! The reason you are seeing conflicting results when you research the length of time recommended for doing the "gluten challenge" is that the guidelines have recently been under revision. So there are two components: 1. amount of daily gluten consumption and 2. duration of that amount of daily gluten consumption Recently, the guidelines have been under revision because the medical community was sensing the previous standards were too relaxed, particularly in the daily amount of recommended gluten consumption. The more recent guidelines seem to be calling for higher amounts of daily gluten consumption over (perhaps) as shorter period of time. So, it is becoming a daily minimum of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. Personally, I would recommend that amount of consumption be extended from two weeks to four weeks to ensure valid testing. Your Immunoglobulin IgA at 1.25. Was that within normal range? If that one is low, you are IgA deficient and other IgA test results cannot be trusted. But regardless of whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same, namely, a gluten free diet. What would you do different if you had a more confident differential diagnosis? And there are other reasons for the development of osteopenia/osteoporosis that you probably should explore. Are you on any serious supplementation for D3 and magnesium?

      The results of my blood tests after 4 weeks: *Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA —->   “<0.5 NEGATIVE” *Immunoglobulin IgA —-> “1.25” *Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG —-> “<0.5 NEGATIVE”

      Hi there, I have been scouring the forums, medical journals, celiac websites, speaking to my doctor and there seems to be a contradiction in the exact amount of time one must do the gluten challenge for a blood test. Let me please express my gratitude for taking your time to help! I will try and keep this short. In a nutshell, I am positive genetically for celiac. Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet. At a very young age, I had infertility, hair loss, low iron, stomach problems, neurological symptoms, continued low bone density etc. etc. all the symptoms that line up with celiac.  I could never get an “official diagnosis” because I was not eating gluten for years.   Recently, I had a bone density scan, and was shocked at the results. I am young and my low bone density is continuously lowering. This lead me  to seriously consider doing the celiac blood test to confirm if I actually have celiac. Years ago, I had an endoscopy and they did a biopsy saying it was negative for celiac - but I had been on a gluten free diet for years. Now, I asked my doctor if I can start the gluten challenge and get this over with. My doctor said two weeks then get the blood test. I have been having 2-3 pieces of bread daily. After four weeks of doing this, I went for the bloodwork - it came back negative for celiac. I am continuing to eat bread daily, it has now been over 6 weeks. I am not able to get an endoscopy. Please, from your experience how long really must I eat bread daily to ensure I do not get a false negative blood test for celiac? I have read up to 12 weeks. One doctor advised this is foolish to even do this gluten challenge as I am damaging my body. My other doctor said 2 weeks eat it, but it showed negative. But with my recent continuous lowering of bone density I personally need to rule celiac out.   Thank you VERY much for your help, I truly appreciate it!!

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.
