Back to bed this morning trying to figure out what I ate out of the ordinary yesterday. It was the brownies (really out of the ordinary for me....since I'm diabetic and don't typically have desserts).

I'm looking at the ingredients and there are a few I'm concerned about because I've seen them before: dextrose, tapioca starch, potato starch and xanthum gum.

Did I read postings from people saying they have sensitivities to these ingredients?

Peoples sensitivities really vary. It is going to be hard for anyone to tell you what precisely you reacted to. I'm really sorry you are feeling so lousy. It may also have been just to much sugar for you. You could try items that contain only one of your suspect ingredients and not the others to see if you react. Like for example get some potato starch and make some beef stew using it as a thickener. If you know you tolerate dairy you could try tapioca pudding etc. The dextrose is simply sugar and if it was wheat derived it would say so by FDA regs. Xanthum gum is very common in gluten free baked goods so if you have had other products with that in it and not had a problem it's likely that is not an issue.

Me too girl. I made a gluten-free pizza yesterday. I know for a fact it was gluten-free but I spent the WHOLE night with horrible horrible gas and D. That is the only thing out of the ordinary I ate so no telling what it was.

You may need to avoid dairy for a bit. Or at least stick with hard cheeses like cheddar and yogurt. Many of us can't tolerate dairy until we heal a bit. I hope your feeling better today.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
