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.

      What should I do with these test results?

      The fact is, we know very little about the mechanism of NCGS at this point. We know much more about celiac disease. Some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Extensive scientific research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, has demonstrated their efficacy and safety for most individuals. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme involved...

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      Just judging from the reports we get from forum members sharing their endoscopy results, very common. But we also get a lot of reports of inflammation in those areas coupled with a negative biopsy for celiac. But I wonder if in a lot of those latter cases we are seeing NCGS or a transition from NCGS to celiac. I have no scientific data to support that. It...

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      I don't have symptoms now. But this DGP IgG is high than normal. I read your article. Very nice by the way. Based on it I don't need to do DGP IgG because I don't have IgA deficiency. I did it first time because those days I didn't know the right procedure for blood tests so I did all. What might you do if you was me? Just keep eating gluten and do tests...

And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading many, many forum contributor test result reports, elevated igg antibodies may signal a transition from NCGS to celiac disease.  But there are other things besides gluten that can cause elevated dgp igg and ttg igg antibody levels. So, yes. I would continue to monitor the situation if I were you and get regular testing. Not necessarily every 6 months but yearly anyway if you can. In the meantime, if you know gluten causes you unwellness, continue to avoid it.

      Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Extensive scientific research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, has demonstrated their efficacy and safety for most individuals. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, thereby reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Importantly, statins do not "remove all fats" from the body, as suggested in your post. They specifically target cholesterol synthesis and do not deplete essential fats, such as those required for brain function, hormone production, or nutrient absorption. The body still maintains its necessary fat reserves, including healthy fats, which are critical for physiological processes. Regarding the claim that statins cause internal bleeding by making blood vessels permeable, this is not supported by scientific evidence. Statins are not known to increase the risk of internal bleeding. However, like all medications, they can have side effects, such as muscle pain or, in rare cases, liver enzyme abnormalities. The benefits of statins in reducing cardiovascular risk generally outweigh the risks for most patients, particularly those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol. The suggestion to use odorless garlic, magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium for heart health may have some merit, as these supplements can support cardiovascular function in certain contexts. For example, magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, while vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting and bone health. However, these should not replace evidence-based treatments like statins when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Always consult a medical professional before making changes to medication or starting new supplements, as individual health needs vary.

Biopsy is not available in my town. I also read somewhere if a person has NCGS he doesn't have any blood tests high. Very confusing situation.
