It's kind of a long story, but I was wondering if anyone knew about Lymphocitic Colitis and Celiac? My GI dr. suggested I have LC, but she doesn't think I have Celiac. I don't really care if I have Celiac or a gluten intolerance, doesn't really matter to me. But, I was wondering if Dr's diagnose LC instead of Celiac? Is is misdiagnosed? Thanks...I appreciate any advice! :)

It is possible to have both (there is one member I can think of that has both)

Alot of people with LC are gluten-free ...not because they are a coeliac...but because they find they can't tolerate gluten

Open Original Shared Link is a useful site you may want to look at

Good Luck :)

Nikki,

Thank you for the link. I read somewhere that when lymphocytes are off balance, causing lymphocitic colitis, that it can be "fixed" with a gluten-free diet. I thought that was interesting. I wonder how much my GI Dr. knows about this kind of stuff??

      Night time migranes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger migraine headaches, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Barilla Gluten Free Pasta makes me sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, but anything is possible. It looks like their product contains Xanthan Gum, is it possible you have issues with Xanthan Gum?  https://www.maninis.com/products/4-cheese-tortelloni/ This article might be helpful:

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      ABP2025, there are no definitive diagnostic tests for NCGS. It is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease despite continuing symptoms from gluten ingestion.

      So keep eating gluten daily, lots of it, until all celiac disease screening is completed. A negative biopsy would not rule out NCGS. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Barilla Gluten Free Pasta makes me sick

      By susan connolly · Posted

      Hi  I just had the same problem with Maninis Am gluten-free so I am very careful. It was delicious but big tummy ache and swelling.  I was soooo careful.  Nothing different but the tortellini.  Maybe cross contamination of some kind ?.  Best  Susan
