So my gastro doc says I need a colonoscopy plus egd with biopsy, he wants to see what is going on in there. I first told him I wasn’t going back on gluten but I feel like I need to if I am going to have the biopsy to get good results. I am DREADING it. Gluten makes me really sick. I get rashes and everything. However since I missed the boat the first time if he’s going down and up there I figure I might as well do it. What is the minimum amount of time and minimum amount of gluten to consume to get a Good reliable biopsy ?

Yes, I definitely think I do, but the dermatologist wouldn’t biopsy for it the last time I asked , she wouldn’t even entertain the idea without me having the intestinal biopsy done  🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

IMHO, you may have the wrong Dermatologist!  I was tested for it on my first visit to a different Dermatologist.  In two weeks my dermatitis herpetiformis biopsy came back positive and he sent me for a blood lab that also came back positive.  You could try the Iodine test with a bandaid.

Is that where you put iodine on your skin ? And see what happens? What if that is negative or doesn’t react?

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄
