Biopsy Came Back Negative

Tests came back negative for Celiac.  However, I have been gluten free since the scope, and do feel alot better.  Why do I feel I need a "diagnoses"?  I know the diet has helped.......I guess I just want official answers to why I have an inflamed stomach and so many gastric issues. ?

Did you have a positive blood test?

I would add during the endoscopy, were other biopsies from the stomach (not small intestine) submitted to the pathologist?  I have celiac disease and autoimmune gastritis.  H.Pylori was ruled out.  

Diagnosis?  My hubby went gluten-free some 17 years ago (he received some poor medical advice and should have been tested for celiac disease).  But he is well now.  The diet did the trick.  So, it is not necessary to have an official diagnosis because the bottom line is feeling better.  

Consider getting a second opinion from another GI.  Pull all your records if you do decide on a consultation.  Might be worth $100 for that opinion.

It's possible to be gluten intolerant or have an allergy without having Celiac disease. If you feel better not eating gluten, don't eat it.

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Beverage · Posted

      As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.

      The forms of vitamins really mattered for me, maybe not for everyone but very much for me. Learned so much here. This b12, recommended by @Ennis-TX has really helped me since diagnose.  I can tell when i run out that i don't feel as good. LIQUIDHEALTH Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Liquid Drops with Sublingual Hydroxocobalamin - Boost Energy, Support Immune System, Improve Memory & Concentration - Vegan, Sugar Free, Non-GMO (2 Pack) https://a.co/d/c3cxXt7   i also had RLS, one of my few noticeable symptoms before diagnosis. It rears up when I slack off the supplements or drink wine. I found 2 of these a day keeps it at bay, get it very rarely now: Limited-time deal: ANDREW LESSMAN Circulation & Vein Support for Healthy Legs 60 Capsules - High Bioactivity Diosmin, Butcher's Broom, Visibly Reduces Swelling & Discomfort in Feet, Ankles, Calves, Legs https://a.co/d/7int9i9   I also take the procapslabs.com b complex, it has the methyl forms, which makes a difference for me: ANDREW LESSMAN High Potency B-Complex 180 Capsules - with High Levels of Folate Complex & Biotin, Promotes Cellular Growth, Energy, Immune Function, Detoxification, Fat Metabolism & More https://a.co/d/4fkAmFx   I also take extra thiamine, in form benfotiamine, as recommended by @knitty kitty which tremendously helped asthma.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      I am glad to hear you are not taking acid blocking meds as they increase gut PH which inhibits mineral absorption which, in turn, often causes the body to rob it's own bones of the calcium it needs for various metabolic processes. I was asking about that because acid reflux is very common in the celiac community.
