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.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Vozzyv · Posted

      Anyone else have intermittent left ear ringing and outer right ear pain? Both seem to happen in the evenings.

      If your son eventually becomes very symptomatic, that in itself will help keep him on the diet.  I had a friend who was diagnosed roughly the same time as me and she used to tell me a lot that she could get away with eating certain gluten containing foods.  (Not a good thing to do, but she did all the same).  In time she was unable to tolerate them anymore,  and is now very strict with her diet.   The football situation with the candy:   here in the UK at least, a lot of mainstream chocolate bars and sweets don't actually contain gluten (Bounty Bar, Snickers, Cadbury's Whirl, Crunchie etc) and you may find that that is the case where you live.

      Cross contamination issues with Food Processing Companies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Soy has been on our safe list for nearly 30 years, it is gluten-free. Most soy sauces do include wheat, and should be avoided. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.       In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level) in foods which they have labelled gluten-free, especially a USA-based company (lawsuits in the USA are far more common and easier to win in such cases), they will immediately seek to find and eliminate the source of the gluten contamination. There is a very common myth or misconception that companies don't care at all if their products test between 5-19ppm, but they definitely do because a product recall could be just around the corner should they hit the 20ppm or higher level. Many people, including myself, now have home test kits like Nima, and companies are definitely aware of this.
