Welcome to the forum, Erakhan!

With only three months of experience in the gluten free journey it is likely you are still getting gluten from somewhere. Studies have shown that most people who believe they are eating gluten free are only eating lower gluten. Gluten is found in many commercially prepared food products that you would never expect to find it. And then there is cross contamination where something that is naturally gluten free comes in contact with gluten containing products in growing, transportation, storage and processing. Pills and supplements can be sources of gluten because wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler or a texturing agent. I am including this article for your review. 

There is also the possibility that you are cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose protein component is similar enough to wheat gluten to cause a reaction. Common offenders are dairy, corn, oats, eggs and "meat glue" (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/transglutaminase#concerns).

You need a lot of Thiamine, vitamin B1.

Doesn't sound like your diet has sufficient variety to provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

In Celiac Disease, our bodies have trouble absorbing sufficient nutrients, vitamins and minerals that help our bodies heal.

Discuss with your doctor or nutritionist the benefits of supplementing with the eight essential B vitamins and Vitamins D and C.  

Our digestive system needs Niacin B 3 to help heal the intestines.  Tryptophan, (up to 1000 mg/day), another form of Niacin is helpful as well.  Niacinamide is the nonflushing form of Niacin, but the flushing goes away with continued supplementation.  Small doses (100 mg) several times a day  is beneficial in calming and helps repair the intestinal lining (not over 500 mg/day).  

Rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Rice has B vitamins added to it, but these may be destroyed by cooking and rinsing with water.  Better to buy your own B vitamin supplements and take them while you are healing.  It's very difficult to eat your way out of deficiency.  Better and faster to supplement.  

When I had constant diarrhea and digestive tract upsets and pain, Niacin and Thiamine really helped me feel better quickly.

Hope this helps!

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
