I have sent a message to ravenwoodglass asking her to read this topic.

If you want a private reply, you should go to your own profile and deselect "Hide my email address from other members." This wording is misleading, since your email is not visible. It allows a user to send a message to your email without knowing your address. If you don't reply, they won't know.

Hi ravenwoodglass

I have celiac and sjogren

My english is not good. Please use simple english for easy comunicating.

I want to stop sjogren syndrome.

I read your post:

I did, horribly. The good news is within a month gluten-free this problem went away along with a host of others. I weaned myself off all meds (with doctors knowledge) before going gluten-free. I figured I wouldn't really know if being gluten-free was helping if I continued to take the 5 of so prescriptions I was taking for arthritis, IBD, fibromyalgia, peripherial neuropathy, ataxia and GERD. I reasoned I could always start taking them again. After 2 months with no symptoms, even arthritis was gone, I had a pill party as I said good bye to them on a Sunday afternoon. It felt so good to flush those suckers down the toilet. Anyway, hopefully your Sjogrens and other autoimmune problems will disappear like mine did.

I have hope that you have ration.

I wait on moment, when my antibody ( transglutaminaza, endomysium, gliadyn ) to be zero.

How you think? sjogren to be stoping.

I know ,that you have many disease ( IBS-D, ataxia, migraines, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, parathesias, arthritis, livedo reticularis, hairloss, premature menopause, osteoporosis, kidney damage, diverticulosis, prediabetes and ulcers, dermatitis herpeformis )

You write, that all your problem to lower your body when you go to gluten free diet.

When your disease disappearance?.

When your antibody equal zero

Maybe, you waiting 1 month or 2 month?

I have a little salivation and tears.

I dont to lose salivation and tears.

I take steroid of reumatologist but my osteoporosis to be deterioration.

I want to know your opinion.

You have knowledge because you have celiac disease and secondary disease.

Your diet is gluten free diet and eliminating soy. Only this eliminating?

My reumatoloyst said that my sjogren is secondary sjogren and celiac and sjogren this one disease.

I dont know answer, when my sjogren to be stoping and I to be can no take steroid.

I debate - My sjogren is dependent:

my antibody or my situation in my intestine?

In february I was in hospital on rheumatology

MY antibody :

RF is normal

C3 is normal

C4 is normal

ANA is negative

C anca is normal

p anca is normal

Diagnosis doctor- secondary sjogren

biopsy salivary gland focus score 4

Help me please your opinion.

Hello,

For me to get better I needed to eat only fresh whole food. I ate meat, chicken, fish, eggs, vegatables and fruit that was not processed in any way other than cooking them at home. I do use some frozen foods but only vegatables that have only the vegatable as an ingredient. In the beginning I did not eat any special gluten free foods and I still do not eat foods with any kind of wheat starch even if it has been 'made to be gluten free' or foods that are made in the same place as gluten foods. I needed to not eat or drink any distilled gluten grains, things like vinegar and distilled alcohol. I also made sure that all of my medicine was gluten free by checking with the company that makes it. Some of my problems went away quickly but others like my arthritis and the damage to my nerves took a few months to go away.

For most of us it did take a long time to get sick and it does take time to recover. If your tests for gluten antibodies are not going down you need to also make sure your home is gluten free. Check your toiletries, shampoos, lotions, and if you have pets make sure they do not eat gluten either. Cats and dogs lick themselves and us and they can transfer gluten from their mouths to their fur and to us when we pet them. Do not share things like toasters, boards for cutting foods, things like butter, peanut butter, jelly or anything that others use can make us sick if crumbs get in.

I do hope this is of some help to you. I know it is hard to be so strict and it is hard to wait to be better. If your sjoren is from the celiac it should get better with time. I hope it happens soon. Do be sure to read as much as you can here. Your english is really very good and I hope this was written so that you can easily understand. Please feel free to ask any questions you need to and soon you will have enough time here to be able to private message if you need to.

Could you please tell me if the first symptoms disappeared when the antibodies level has decreased or when you have totally eliminated them from your organism. I'm trying to find out what specific conditions must be fulfiled regarding the antibodies, so I can count on initial stage of getting well.

I never showed up on the blood tests so that is a question I really can't answer. It was the reason I was so sick for so long and that it took so long to find that I had celiac. Also different people respond differently to the diet. You should post the question in the Post Diagnosis section and see if others who did show positive on the antibody tests can give you a better answer.

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
