Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

Unfortunately we're still years away from a prescription drug to treat celiac disease. The FDA approval process can take many years to complete, and some past drug candidates have not worked out. I suspect that some current ones may not make it through the process as well, but hopefully we will see some successful drugs at some point.

      @LizzieF, if you will be seeking repeat blood antibody testing after undergoing a more rigorous gluten challenge, make sure your physician orders the "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, all other IGA test scores will be artificially low and this can result in false negatives. Can you list the blood antibody tests that were already done, the scores along with the reference ranges?

      @LizzieF, The anemia which can be caused by low iron can impede antibody production.   NCGS can be a precursor of Celiac Disease, especially in those who already carry Celiac genes.   Celiac is the only disease where you have to self harm to get a diagnosis.   Do talk to your doctor about the updated gluten challenge requirements and a repeat endoscopy.

      Welcome to the forum, @LizzieF! Yes, I also question whether or not your exposure to gluten before either the endoscopy/biopsy or the antibody testing was long enough or intense enough to render valid test results. Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" have recently been revised to recommend more intense exposure: at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw or the procedure. But frankly, I would certainly give it twice that long to be sure. It is also very possible you are dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) instead of celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms but...

      Chris, has your husband had a recent checkup with detailed bloodwork (CBC and CMP)? Has he been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?
