Everyone has different symptoms. You shouldnt be eating Kellogs Corn Flakes, they do contain gluten. If you have been dx with celiac, you shouldnt ever consume gluten it is not worth it.

I know you haven't been diagnosed celiac......neither have I. But I know I need to stay away from gluten. If you feel gluten is your problem, then there is NO cheating! :P

You will keep getting sick if you do. Why don't you try Rice Chex that is labeled gluten-free. Do they have it where you are? I also don't drink soda right now, it bother's my stomach.

Maybe I will be able to tolerate it better in the future, after I have been gluten free awhile longer.

It's a lot to learn at first, isn't it?......It will get easier.

Just keep asking questions. ;)

You know, sometimes after a glutening I just about lose it ! It seems like everything bugs me - I think the glutening screws up my stomach & digestive tract and it just sorta gets super sensitive. Chances are, you have glutened yourself and now your GI system is still recovering. Of course, some people exeperience other intolerances. When I was glutened I would be very sensitive to dairy...these days I have started avoiding dairy because it seems to now add to sinus & respiratory issues. Ugh, so now I am avoiding gluten and dairy, dairy giving me almost glutened like symptoms.

Of course there is always cross contamination - I have my own colander, baking pans, cutting boards, mayonnaise jar, peanut butter, cheese, etc. It all helps. I will admit to being very stubborn and taking awhile to accept all this...until I just got sick of being sick !

All this makes it hard to know what really affects you - if gluten is sneaking into your diet it can make you think something else is bothering you when it is gluten all along....or the glutening opens you up for more sensitivites as your intestinal tract is damaged.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
