Hi there - can anyone confirm that they had continued weight loss even after going gluten free - weight loss has not stopped - lost 50 lbs so far which is very welcome and I look OK but just need reassurance that there is some inflammation in the gut that still needs to heal.  Thanks all !

How long since your diagnosis and going gluten free has it been?

Are you still experiencing diarrhea or other celiac GI symptoms?

Hi thanks for replying - last August the weight problem started and then I went gluten free ?  I don't have diarrhea all the time but I do have a distended small intestine and if I eat gluten I do suffer with pain and loose bowel !

Okay, let's backup for the sake of clarity.

Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? How were you diagnosed? Did you get both celiac blood antibody testing done and an endoscopy/biopsy? Or, are you self-diagnosed?

How often do you get "glutened"? Are you strict with your gluten free diet?

I was unable to tolerate the endoscopy when scheduled - blood test not showing anything but I am steroids which can negate tests I believe - especially the one I am on.   I am strict with my gluten free diet - but in saying that I did slip last week and had two white breakfast rolls - and boy have I gone back several months with digestive issues.   I do not eat gluten free foods as they are too loaded with sugar etc. - the only thing I do have is gluten free biscuits as I need to eat a couple before taking my steroids - apart from that I just eat a normal diet without any gluten within it.

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
