Can you compare your symptoms pre-dx to your villi damage to your symptoms of "getting glutened?"

I'm wondering if they all relate to one another at all or if it's just random.

-What were your symptoms of celiac disease prior to diagnosis?

-How bad was the damage discovered with your endoscopy/biopsy? (Marsh rating?)

-What's it like when you "get glutened" now? How long have you been gluten-free? Has your reaction changed over time?

I just had anemia and no GI symptoms.  I went for a routine colonoscopy (am over 50) for a normal cancer screening.  The GI ordered a celiac panel due to my anemia.  My biopsies revealed a Marsh Stage IIIB and I only had one positive on the DGP IgA.  

I can get pretty sick (GI issues) now with a glutening because it seems to set off my other autoimmune issues.  Recovery can be very long for me personally as a result.  

I can tell you that after five years, my recent follow-up endoscopy revealed healthy villi!

      The "IgA 47-310 normal range" = is the total IGA test I mentioned in an earlier test. It goes by a number of names. He is not IGA deficient.

      Doctors don't usually test the levels of all the B vitamins.  B12 is frequently the only one checked.   Ask for an Erythrocyte transketolase test to check Thiamine Vitamin B 1  levels.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so they should all be supplemented.  Additional thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can be taken.

      No.  The damage done to the lining of the intestines is caused by the autoimmune response of Celiac disease.   People who have been off of gluten for an extended period may take longer to mount an autoimmune response.  Twelve days of gluten after two years off probably wasn't enough time and not sufficient gluten.

      @trents blood tests were IgA 47-310 normal range - mine was 120; TTG <15.0 antibody not detected, mine was <1.0.
