Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I hope you find yourself out of the hospital soon. My GI told me I would know from the endoscopy, gene test and response to the gluten-free diet but he has yet to contact me. He is notorious for leaving his patients hanging with unanswered questions but he was my doctors referral. I’m just wondering if there’s...

So, I had an endoscopy that showed intestinal damage, went off of gluten for two weeks before blood tests because my GI didn’t tell me to keep eating gluten. Tests came back negative. I didn’t want to do a gluten challenge so I had the gene testing done. I’m HLA-DQ8 positive and feeling better gluten free. I sent the results to the GI but he is awful with ...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts on this. It’s nice to have a support group. I’m hoping to speak with my GI this week. I’ll let you know what I ultimately find out. Until then no gluten for me. Whatever the diagnosis I don’t have symptoms if I’m not eating it!

Hello, Is it possible to have negative blood tests, positive duodenum biopsy and still have Celiac? I ate a normal diet prior to my beginning symptoms of stomach pain and bloating. My gp put me on meds thinking it was acid reflux. After that didn’t work she sent me for an upper endoscopy. The scope found stomach inflammation and damage to my small intestine. ...
