I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough re other intolerances, largely thanks to knittykitty pointing out that pumpkin seeds contain lectins, I didn’t even know gluten was a lectin! So is avenin in oats, they’re in most foods, chilli is high in lectins. I’ve cut out all lectins and the difference is incredible, I thought everything must be cross contaminated with gluten or I must be developing all sorts of other intolerances which made shopping similar to playing Russian roulette but now it’s pretty straight forward, I just don’t eat anything containing lectins. dr gundry is really annoying imo and it’s difficult to endure his videos which he spends half of talking about his qualifications and the other half selling his products but he does have a very accurate list of high lectin vs lectin free food which is invaluable because there’s a lot of mixed info on the net. I’ve also just discovered I’ve got sibo (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) which explains why I can’t eat apples pears peaches or sugar. there’s very little left to choose between but as long as I stick to the gundry lectin free approved list minus things that exacerbate sibo I feel loads better.  

Depending on the severity of the damage, the resolution of the scope used and the experience level of the one doing the scoping, they can often recognize the damage done by celiac disease while doing the scoping. But the official report awaits the microscopic analysis done by the lab where the biopsy samples were sent.

Update: I had my endoscopy today, I don’t remember talking to my doctor I was completely out of it but my wife said he can’t give a diagnosis off images but he did take several biopsies and now we are waiting for the results. My wife said he making it out that I definitely have celiacs but can’t say without the biopsy. I’ll update again as soon as the biopsy results come back.

Hello everyone , Hoping someone will have an answer for me.  I have had my celiac symptoms continue after being on a gluten-free diet. Was diagnosed in December of 2020 and followed a strict gluten free diet. I barely eat out and I am very strict. I even went dairy free for almost 2 years. I recently had and endoscopy with biopcies taken that revealed blunted villi. My celiac antibodies were also checked and they are within normal range. They were initially very high. The gastroenterologist I am seeing says I am in remission and that I don't have to worry about celiac being the cause of my symptoms.  I have read a lot about this condition and if the villi is still blunted that means I have not healed.  I have anemia that does not go away. I have tried to take B complex and vitamin D any vitamins would cause me severe severe insomnia.  So I cannot trade sleep for vitamins.  I know that is a common suggestion on this forum.  I am very confused.  Is this dr not knowledgeable? What am I missing? I thought my gut would have healed by now. I am so careful with the diet. He also mentioned I might have refractory celiac but then did not seem be worried about it. My symptoms are burning pain under the left ribcage. Fatigue and weight loss. I also eat lost of vegetables and fruits. I have lost a total of 20 pounds since I went gluten free and cannot put it back on. I was not overweight. 

Welcome to the forum, @NimaWishing, I cannot tolerate Ore Ida Tater Tots either.   Ore Ida Tots contain corn, which some Celiacs, like me, react to.  Those Tots also use Sulfites to keep the potatoes from discoloration and to promote browning.  Some Celiacs, like me, develop a Hypersensitivity to Sulfutes in foods and medications.    I buy store brand tater tots which don't contain those fancy expensive additives and they are cheaper.  No gluten free certification, but no gluten nor corn nor Sulfate ingredients either.   Hope this helps!
