  1. I had positive TTG - IGA antibodies. Is the marsh scale something that is automatically done when they do the biopsies or how does that work? And how many biopsies should the doc have done for pretty accurate results?
  2. Thank you so much and thanks for all this good information! I’m glad I survived as well. It was rough! I already feel lighter or something and the bloating is so much better as well as the leg and feet swelling.
  3. Thanks for the info, that helps me understand all this a little better. My GI doctor has already told me that regardless of the biopsy results he believes I have celiac and either way I have to live a dedicated gluten free life as a celiac
  4. So what happens if a person doesn’t have any damage yet? The biopsy would come back negative, correct? But does that mean you don’t have celiac or it was just caught before any major damage has been done? Im A bit confused
  5. I agree there is definitely something going on. I am having a terrible time with anything tomato, cucumbers, salad .. it’s like I’m not digesting my food. And it seems like my body does not like most all grains if any. I’m out of ideas on what to even eat to get to feeling better. I am so bloated right now, have to wear leggings - and I’ve also gained almost ...
  6. Thank you so much!! Me as well, my family doesn’t believe me And it is so frustrating Will do! Hoping for some definitive answers! My family doesn’t believe me and I wouLd love to have definitive proof
  7. Yes it was successful , have a really bad sore throat and some abdominal pain / gas but guess I’m okay. He took several biopsies of my duodenum, stomach and colon
  8. Yes I figured out I couldn’t have gluten years ago when I was symptomatic and tested positive, but was misinformed and told I couldn’t have celiac but to go gluten free. I was already gluten free. I was never willing to go back on gluten and make myself so sick to have the biopsy especially when the biopsy isn’t 💯. But Now I have to have a procedure anyway a...
  9. Basically because he was going to do the biopsy either way , so I agreed after him bugging me lol (after all this time of refusing) (and I’m already regretting) to do the gluten challenge. But yes he’s already told me even in if the biopsy is negative I still have to live as a celiac for the rest of my life bc he’s certain I’m celiac positive regardl...
  10. Yea the bloating is MISERABLE!! I have gained 7 pounds since starting the gluten challenge 😵‍💫😔 at times I look and feel extremely pregnant! I have measured myself and will sometimes deflate 2 inches overnight 🤦🏼‍♀️I hope this weight gain goes away after I get back to the gluten free lifestyle .. I can’t afford to keep this extra weight Thank you!! ...
  11. I have had a lot of reflux since starting the gluten challenge. My GI gave me some meds to take to hopefully help a little while on the gluten challenge
  12. Thanks for the encouragement, I am honestly ready to give up! It is majorly interfering with my ability to function and work. Feeling off balance and having this sleepiness and the shakes is the worst!! The chest pain just comes and goes , nothing too concerning, I have noticed it before with gluten exposure. I have a cardiologist as well so it’s nothing t...
  13. I have about one more week to go on the gluten challenge; I’ve been noticing some odd things and am wondering if they are gluten related— chest pain, extreme sleepiness and yawning, feeling off balance and feeling like I’m walking sideways or something, tremors and feeling like my insides are shaking. Ive noticed being forgetful and struggling to find words...
  14. Most of the time I do yes. Like if I toast I have eggs or if I have pasta I have meat with it. There have been times when it’s been naked carbs, like saltine crackers to calm my stomach. Other than that I do try to eat protein
