      Yup, and I don’t eat meat. It’s easier than it sounds and there are ways to reduce lectins, soaking, fermenting, pressure cooking. I’ve found I can eat pressure cooked mash potatoes but rice I have to cook it to a mush to make it safe and can’t tolerate fermented soya. Dr gundry also talks a bit about Neu5Gc in meat and dairy which displaces Neu5Ac in the gut lining joints and blood brain barrier causing inflammation. I’ve tried all the different milks and fermented is the only safe option, Neu5Gc is a sugar so it makes sense that it would be the first to be consumed in fermented dairy products. Cheese and kefir are fine according to my guts.

      Gluten is not actually a lectin but it has some lectin-like properties. You have actually eliminated all lectins from your diet? I don't think you can do that without going entirely over to a carnivore diet. Lectin is found in almost all plant-based foods. Some have higher levels of lectins than others, of course: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-what-are-dietary-lectins-and-should-you-avoid-eating-them/#:~:text=Lectins are naturally occurring proteins,and wheat and other grains.

      I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough re other intolerances, largely thanks to knittykitty pointing out that pumpkin seeds contain lectins, I didn’t even know gluten was a lectin! So is avenin in oats, they’re in most foods, chilli is high in lectins. I’ve cut out all lectins and the difference is incredible, I thought everything must be cross contaminated with gluten or I must be developing all sorts of other intolerances which made shopping similar to playing Russian roulette but now it’s pretty straight forward, I just don’t eat anything containing lectins. dr gundry is really annoying imo and it’s difficult to endure his videos which he spends half of talking about his qualifications and the other half selling his products but he does have a very accurate list of high lectin vs lectin free food which is invaluable because there’s a lot of mixed info on the net. I’ve also just discovered I’ve got sibo (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) which explains why I can’t eat apples pears peaches or sugar. there’s very little left to choose between but as long as I stick to the gundry lectin free approved list minus things that exacerbate sibo I feel loads better.

      Depending on the severity of the damage, the resolution of the scope used and the experience level of the one doing the scoping, they can often recognize the damage done by celiac disease while doing the scoping. But the official report awaits the microscopic analysis done by the lab where the biopsy samples were sent.

      Update: I had my endoscopy today, I don’t remember talking to my doctor I was completely out of it but my wife said he can’t give a diagnosis off images but he did take several biopsies and now we are waiting for the results. My wife said he making it out that I definitely have celiacs but can’t say without the biopsy. I’ll update again as soon as the biopsy results come back.
