I'd be a member of that group.

From what I've read, there are alot of digestive disorders - particularly those that involve frequent diarrhea - that can damage the intestinal villi, making digestion of gluten (among other things) difficult. There's a spectrum of sensitivity to gluten not just a black/white celiac or non-celiac diagnosis. That's what makes this so difficult for those of us that are suffering and looking for answers, IMHO.

LOL sounds good, especially with my history. I do not know of any specific doctors but as someone who was blood negative and severely damaged for years I sure can identify with that groups name. You may want to see if you can find a good allergist who can guide you through an elimination diet and offically record the results. That was how I was finally diagnosed. You could also consider Enterolab testing, I have heard many good things about them.

Where do I sign up? lol.

I have a wonderful doctor, but he's in Nassau County. Dr. Gary J. Schwartz. The link to the practice's website is Open Original Shared Link. It might not be too far for you though.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By hmkr · Posted

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.

      So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me!

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.
