My Gp said we will treat me as Coeliac due to this coming back as detected. The other three alleles were not detected. Vitamin D is 20 (I'm in Australia, ferritin undetectable, iron was 4 (I'm vegetarian) and B22 was low but improving significantly with oral B12. He said because I went off gluten as a result of having tingling and numb feet and diminished nerve conduction tests, I could have a gastroscopy after going back into gluten for 4 weeks (I thought it's meant to be 6). He said or we can assume I'm coeliac and just follow gluten free. With these results, do you think it's likely that I am coeliac?  Is it worth doing the gluten challenge?  I also have hashimotos. And low neutrophils but he doesn't think that's related.

Hi suzi375

I'm not familiar with your other conditions, but I would say Go for the tests. Get a definite diagnosis once & for all. You can't spend the rest of your life in limbo like this. You need to know for sure in order for you to plan your life better.

Good luck on your journey

Thank you. I think for my children it will be useful and also to assist in sticking to being gluten free it may be useful. It is a bit of limbo actually. I have had a myriad or uncomfortable, weird symptoms for four years. FINALLY, this may be an answer. That is actually a relief, I just wish they did the antibodies before I went off gluten :(

Suzi374 I'm glad I was of some help. I've children as well & I know it's frustrating for the whole family when one member is ill with an undiagnosed condition. Definitely get them on board. Education & communication is key to you being successful.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
