You've heard the claims: Meat, gluten, dairy products and just about ... poses a real threat to victims of celiac disease — but the disease afflicts no ... risk whatsoever into demanding pricier and, usually, less flavorful gluten-free pasta.

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By englishbunny · Posted

      Thank you so much, Scott.  This is very helpful. Yes, I was eating that amount of gluten before both of the blood tests and especially in the weeks before the biopsy. Could there be anything else causing the elevated DGP-IgA other than celiac of NCGS?  For example Hashimotos?  I'm wondering if the fluctuating iron issues could also be caused by NCGS?

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      HLA DQ8 Positive - This means you have the genes to get celiac disease, which ~40% of people have as well, although only ~1% develop the disease. GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA) 96.8 HIGH <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Since your biopsy was negative (you're correct that at least 6 samples should have been taken), this could mean non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  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. My question is, were you doing a proper gluten challenge before your tests and eating at least 2-4 slices of wheat bread worth of gluten per day in the 6-8 weeks before your blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before your biopsy? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is very doubtful that prescriptions medications would be cross-contaminated. It's not impossible, but most companies make many different medications and have very strict protocols for their manufacture.

      I would not say that milk is bad for you, but for those who have lactose intolerance, milk allergy, etc., it's best avoided.

      Can anyone offer any advice/help please!

      By trents · Posted

      @Sammy Web, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just seeking some clarification. Colloquialisms vary from place to place in the English speaking world. They can even differ from place to place in a given English speaking country.
