Just really curious to see how often celiac serum screening is false negative.

Mine appear negative so far but I can bet any doctor $1,000 that I have celiac. Which other disease shares as many as 30 symptoms with celiac?

Yet TBD-- but one round of negative bloodwork with negative biopsy. Round two of bloodwork (IgG based, with a total IgA not done previously) pending, along with allergy testing.

I'll be happy if it's not celiac, but really unhappy if it's something worse (that just happens to be responding to a gluten/lactose free diet). Diet seems to be a great long-term idea, but I'd like to know whether this is a permanent never ever any gluten be obsessive condition, or a don't eat wheat but barley is just fine condition.

My question is how long did people have symptoms prior to bloodwork and biopsies? I didn't have it for very long, and so the GI said there may just not be much intestinal damage yet.

My first blood test showed I had elevated alpha gliadin but a negative tissue transglutaminase. I think that my villi were so flattened I just was not able to show any tissue transglutaminase which is released from the villi when they are being destroyed. The stool tests are much more sensitive than the blood tests.

My blood work was a false neg, I did a stool test and that showed me pos for celiac.

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.
