    Thank you for your responses. There’s some great information here I will definitely read through it. I found out today that one of the reasons my new doctor wanted to do more testing is because I’ve tested deficient in every vitamin, mineral she has tested me for. It can be difficult to get insurance to pay for all the testing without a diagnosis that sup...

    That is exactly how I feel about it! I just thought maybe there was something I was missing that would make a diagnosis important.

    Hello again! I recently switched doctors to a doctor more knowledgeable about AI issues. When she was reviewing my records she discovered that only 3 biopsies were taken to test for Celiac during my endoscopy. She would like me to do more testing (blood tests) given my Hashimoto’s diagnosis. That would involve eating gluten again. I’m finally starting to ...

    Thought I should update this with my results. My biopsy for celiac was negative. The Barrett’s esophagus was negative for dysplasia so that is great news. They did a ton of blood work and I was under the understanding that the ones for Celiac were included but they were not done.

    Thank you for the replies. I kept telling myself that it couldn’t be the gluten because I wasn’t gluten-free before this. Dang. My liver enzymes are only slightly elevated but have been that way and increasing a bit more for the last 3 years. My doctor did mention the blood test but since I’ve recently passed that magic “50” mile marker and was due f...

    Hello! I’m new to this group, and this is my first post. I’m one of those people that thought Celiac was an allergy, despite having a family history. My Grandma was diagnosed as a senior citizen and there are other family members but I have never discussed it with them. Now that I know more about it, I believe my dad has it but he will never get tested. He...
