I was being treated for wheat/gluten intolerance had blood work and skin test positive for corn on skin test 5/6 blood work was negative for corn/maize and skin and blood work negative for wheat and gluten. I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!

Can you tell us more about the blood screening they did for wheat and gluten? Were these allergy tests, or was this a celiac disease blood screening? I ask this because if it was an allergy test then it would not detect celiac disease.

They did blood work for wheat and gluten and skin pricking on my back. They also did blood work for celiac and the  genetic testing. Which was all negative. But on the skin  pricking it showed a 5/6 to corn and blood work showed no on maize. Corn starch really will set my heart off racing if I eat anything with it but seem fine if I have some things in the corn family.

In your initial post here you said: "I’ve been eating wheat and gluten again for three days and been fine. I was diagnosed wrong has this happen to anyone else?!", and the subject of your post is "Not Celiac."

Were you diagnosed with celiac disease? It sounds like you were, but it's not very clear.

I was not now just everything that had gluten in it that I ate my heart would raise but everything that I ate had cornstarch in it and I was still having symptoms even going gluten-free, but I did test positive for corn allergy, which was five of six and the doctor said it wasn’t very high, but I was still showing symptoms of being  to Gluten-free my symptoms went  full-blown to corn but I can eat corn derivatives with out much trouble. Mainly corn starch and high furtose corn syrup is a huge NO

So to be clear, you were never diagnosed with celiac disease, and your blood test for celiac disease was negative.

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.

Also, feel free to share your celiac disease blood test results here if you would like to. Sometimes the actual numbers reveal more than how the doctors interpret the results to you. For example, if your results showed 19 and the cut off for celiac disease was 20, then perhaps you do have an autoimmune response to gluten. Were you eating lots of gluten daily for at least 6 weeks before the blood test for celiac disease? If not, this could lead to a false negative result.

I was not eating gluten. But was still having issues and really seems to be corn that bothers me and everything that is gluten free almost has corn. I did test positive for corn and negative for wheat.

I understand, but I just want you to understand that if they also did a test for celiac disease while you were not eating gluten, you could still have it even though your test was negative--your result could be a false-negative.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis about 3 years ago. At that time I quit gluten and it really helped my symptoms. I hadn't known that I should've tested for celiac before doing so.  Up till recently, gluten would cause my symptoms to flare up, although I never noticed anything with cross contamination, so I wasn't strict about that. But recently, I noticed I could get away with more gluten, and so I decided to do a gluten challenge to see if I had celiac and if I had to be strict. Note that my thyroid antibodies had been decreasing steadily up to this point. My anti-TPO had reached 50 IU/ml from 250 IU/ml (reference range 0-5.6) when I had first been diagnosed. After just a week of the gluten challenge, I measured my thyroid antibodies and they were at 799 IU/ml! I felt fine, but a few days after I started to feel the symptoms. Extreme brain fog, insomnia, diarheaa, fatigue, sleepiness yet cannot sleep, stomachache after eating gluten, nausea, swollen throat (probably due to my thyroid), burping, and gas. I cannot function properly. I'm also worried that I'm killing my thyroid. Should I just quit the challenge? It's been almost two weeks, but the first week I wasn't tracking well, so that's why I didn't want to count it. I can't eat gluten anyway because of my thyroid, but I wanted the diagnosis to know if I should be strict about cross contamination or not.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.
