unreal blood test results, at least to me

I have had microscopic blood in my urine every blood test for last 50 yrs. Initial testing indicated nephritis/berger's disease which could impact the kidneys. I have always paid special attention to testing to see if it ever went higher than +1in rbc. Yesterday I had my annual physical and the urinalysis came back normal. As reference point, I have been gluten free for 4 months. Blew my mind and offers some hope even if it may be just a one off. So I did a little research to see if I could find any correlation between nephritis and celiac. I found a truly amazing article from the American pediatric ass.

Thank you for sharing that article. There is indeed a connection between celiac disease and kidney disease, and there is an entire category of research summaries on Celiac.com dedicated to it:

It's great to hear that your kidney issues are improving with your gluten-free diet.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
