Talk about handling a celiac disease diagnosis in style. This past summer, "Us" star Mandy Moore showed us how its done, when she documented the process of working with her doctor to determine if she had celiac disease.

She even posted a photo of her endoscopy visit for her Instagram followers. Moore captioned the post:

"Grog city. Just had an upper endoscopy to officially see whether or not I have celiac (only way to officially diagnose)…things are looking ?)."

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      Sorry to revive this old post. Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly...

      Confused with test results

      @DebJ14 my son is a symptomatic. And his all bloodwork looks good so far. Here there is no treatment for this in allopathic, but back in india , there is a homeopathic treatment which makes people immune to wheat for celiac. Have known doctors whos given best treatment to the patinents and they are back to gluten, we are going india , as it's not sure if...

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      I can understand your decision, and if he ends up having the celiac disease genes, and his symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, at the very least you can likely conclude that he has NCGS and possibly even celiac disease, although you can be certain about the latter. Actually he could still have NCGS without any genetic markers for celiac disease. Approximately...

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      Although genetic testing cannot be used as a stand alone diagnostic measure, it can serve as corroborative evidence to support a diagnosis of celiac disease when considered together with symptoms, particularly when withdrawal of gluten results in dramatic improvement in symptoms. This may be the best course of action in cases where health risks make the gluten...

      Help with blood test result

      Is it possible you overlooked the results of your tTg-IgA test results? It looks like you might have only shared with us one part of your test results.

According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly elevated. I have been doing a gluten free diet quite strict although I did eat some gluten in the previous weeks.  Could my blood result be this way because of gluten sensitivity and me being not strict enough? My echo showed no problems with my liver or pancreas. My bile ducts were fine too (although I don't have a gallbladder anymore).  What to do??? Could this be gluten related?

      @DebJ14 my son is a symptomatic. And his all bloodwork looks good so far.

Have known doctors whos given best treatment to the patinents and they are back to gluten,  we are going india , as it's not sure if my son has a celiac or something else. Diagnosis is sucks here, every doctor has own narrative and every lab has own counts. I don't trust medical here. I have been working in healthcare administration past 10 yrs and can tell yoh how miserable it is, every dr works here to get money from the insurance,  nobody really cares what patients are going though,  this is the big problem of this country. None of the doctor has given me an example of the damage being caused gluten indulge.

      I can understand your decision, and if he ends up having the celiac disease genes, and his symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, at the very least you can likely conclude that he has NCGS and possibly even celiac disease, although you can be certain about the latter.  Actually he could still have NCGS without any genetic markers for celiac disease. 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. There can be some negative consequences with a formal diagnosis, for example it is included as a disability now on most job applications, life insurance can be more expensive and harder to get, and depending on what changes are made to the ADA over the next few years it is possible that those with pre-existing conditions could be penalized.

This may be the best course of action in cases where health risks make the gluten challenge inadvisable. Some physicians are open to declaring a celiac diagnosis on this basis.
