My so-far recovery - FOR PEOPLE WHO FEEL HOPELESS
squirmingitch and 2 others reacted to Phosis for a topic
I just want to chime in. I have not been "officially" diagnosed, as I don't actually see my GI doctor til february to discuss my results. But I had a positive TTG-IGA (negative for any other blood test), near total villous atrophy, elevated IEL, and was also diagnosed with chronic gastritis (no H. Pylori found in biopsy). I have been on a gluten free...3 points -
Does this increase in IgA mean anything?
squirmingitch reacted to cyclinglady for a topic
Who knows? What is clear is that your experiment might have failed. Three weeks is not the recommended gluten challenge, especially if you had been gluten light prior. Your TTG could be increasing due to celiac disease developing or (another autoimmune illness) or it could just be “off”. The blood tests are not perfect and I do not think they can det...1 point -

Good luck with your doctor appointment. Be sure to discuss vitamin deficiency with him. For winter blues I am on 10,000 iu D3. 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate eases my anxiety and for upset stomach I prefer Alka-Selzer. It neutralizes the acid temporarily (you need hydrochloric acid to digest food) and the aspirin is a mild analgesic/anti inflammatory and to...1 point -

Wheatwacked reacted to knitty kitty for a topic
Hello. Sorry you're feeling discouraged and unwell. Things will get better. I was very sick with similar symptoms. My doctors were clueless. I researched a lot. I discovered information about Histamine Intolerance. As a result, I began the AutoImmune (Paleo) Protocol diet (AIP diet). I only included AIP foods that were also on a Low Histamine...1 point -

Wheatwacked reacted to NNowak for a topic
To add onto my previous response, you seem to be doing everything right. It also sounds like you should go see a different GI so your symptoms can be managed properly. There is no scientific evidence to support replacing cookware, dishes or appliances as the autoimmune response requires 20ppm to illicit a celiac response. For this reason, it seems likely...1 point

Hello:). This a lengthy post. Just looking for some advice. I had the capsule study back in 2019 I tried the gluten challenge but got so horribly distended and could finish it, I had been gluten-free since 2016 except for occasional accidental ingestion. However In 2019 I saw a gastroenterologist due to nonstop diarrhea and bloating. No diagnosis of Crohns or ulcerative colitis. After my biopsy I went to see the doctor and he said I could eat gluten bc my risk wasn’t high. However his nurse practitioner called me later and said I had Celiac?! What the heck??? So I stayed gluten-free. How confusing! These are partial-biopsy results from 2019. *Signifi retained food stomach/SB. Mult... -
Bone demineralization would not be detectable via bloodwork. It would require a DEXA scan. The body keeps calcium levels pretty constant in the blood and will rob it from the bones if necessary because it is such an important mineral for many metabolic processes. -

Low B12, low iron stores and low D all scream of celiac disease as opposed to NCGS! You would not have those deficiencies with NCGS because NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel. Of course, some or all of those deficiencies could be due to other medical conditions but the fact that you can't do gluten sure points to celiac disease. I do understand that you rely on the NSAIDs for pain control but they are also known to be hard on the gut and I wonder if it is the cause of the intermittent bleeding you mention. Concerning bariatric surgery for weight control, I have know a number of people who had that done and none of them were happy with it in the long run. It...

Seborrheic dermatitis can definitely be frustrating, especially when it causes itching and redness. You’re not alone—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity also struggle with skin and scalp conditions, and some find that gluten exposure worsens inflammation. Have you noticed any connection between your diet and flare-ups? Some folks see improvement with gluten-free or anti-inflammatory diets, while others benefit from medicated shampoos (like those with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide). It might be worth tracking symptoms alongside your diet to see if there’s a pattern. Hope you find some relief soon.
