We don't skimp.” Smith says she's tasted gluten-free food that tasted like “cardboard.” Celiac Disease, or celiac sprue, is a recessive, hereditary autoimmune disorder that results in small intestine damage when gluten is ingested, according to the Woodland Hills, Calif.-based Celiac Disease Foundation.

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      Any testing for celiac disease done while on a gluten free or even a restricted gluten diet will not be valid. The blood antibody tests for celiac disease are designed to detect specific kinds of antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten ingestion so when you remove gluten or restrict it you eliminate or reduce the...

      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...

      Any testing for celiac disease done while on a gluten free or even a restricted gluten diet will not be valid. The blood antibody tests for celiac disease are designed to detect specific kinds of antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten ingestion so when you remove gluten or restrict it you eliminate or reduce the inflammation to the point where it's levels fall below what can be detected by the tests. You say you had been eating "some gluten" in the weeks leading up to the testing. Recent guidelines for the pretesting "gluten challenge" call for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. 10g is about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread and I would certainly give it more time than two weeks, say four, to be sure.  You may have NCGS or celiac disease but you may also have IBS as well or SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which are all more common among celiacs than in the general population.

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.
