    For those not yet diagnosed with celiac disease it might be a better approach to first get a blood test for celiac disease, especially since you can now do this mail order for under $100. If you aren’t able to do this your elimination approach is not a bad alternative, but many people with gluten sensitivity don’t have obvious symptoms.

    While I do believe that some people with celiac disease may also need to eat a grain free diet to fully recover, the vast majority do recover as evidenced by the regrowth of their villi and normalization of blood antibody tests while on a standard gluten-free diet that includes eating corn, sorghum, quinoa, GF oats, and other greens that are considered gluten...

    Yes, unfortunately I can't tell your reading. Did you have 3 as your tTg result? I can't read the other results either.

    More information about "Is Cheese Gluten-Free and Safe for People with Celiac Disease?"
    Celiac.com 10/09/2020 - We get more than a few question about cheese. Specifically, is cheese gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease? With few exceptions, cheeses are made with milk, cultures, and often some kind of rennet...

    I think your approach of taking magnesium and a good vitamin/mineral supplement might be a good place to begin.

    It looks like it is naturally gluten-free by ingredient, but not labelled gluten-free: https://www.blackbeardeli.com/product/Liverwurst-Braunschweiger-Natural-Casing "PORK LIVERS, PORK, BACON (CURED WITH WATER, SALT, SUGAR, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ERYTHORBATE, SODIUM NITRITE, SPICE EXTRACTS), BEEF, SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF NONFAT DRY MILK...

    I will have to assume that you have a good handle on your gluten-free diet, and didn't eat out or eat things that could have been contaminated. Obviously contamination is my first thought, but if you're sure that your diet has been clean then it could just be a bug of some sort, including something from the cucumber.

    We have also published many articles on this topic here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/depression-and-celiac-disease/

    In general it's better to get tested before going gluten-free, however, if you find relief on a gluten-free diet and are not one to need a formal piece of paper to keep you on a the diet for life, then a formal diagnosis may not be necessary. There are disadvantages to a diagnosis, for example higher life insurance and possibly health insurance premiums,...

    Nothing in our article is incorrect. The link you posted does not say the guidelines are temporary, and they have not posted any end date to the current changes. They are the current guidelines for diagnosing celiac disease in the UK--which doesn't include biopsy for the vast majority of celiacs. If the guidelines change we will post an article about such...

    There is no indication that this move is temporary, and I seriously doubt that it is. This move will save money, still provide celiac disease diagnoses that are 95% accurate. Europeans switched to this model, even before covid, for diagnosing children and adolescents: Studies have already been published that show that low biopsy rates drive our current...

    In medical terminology "suggestive of Celiac" means probably celiac disease. Can you share your blood test results? This would give us far more information to try to help you.

    If you are in England they have stopped doing biopsies to diagnose celiac disease except in certain cases where the blood tests are not definitive: Be sure to talk to your doctor soon about your blood test results, and whether or not you need a biopsy, or need to go gluten-free.
  22. Scott Adams
    We’ve published multiple studies on why biopsies need only be the exception and not the rule when diagnosing celiac disease, and blood testing will become the new gold standard, not biopsy. In Europe they are already switching to no-biopsy diagnoses in children and adolescents, and this change was pre-covid: There is no indication that the UK will e...

    So keep in mind that if your doctor wants to do any follow up tests you would need to continue eating gluten until they are finished. You mentioned that you are now gluten-free, so you may wish to talk to your doctor before taking that step. Your symptoms do sound consistent with celiac disease, especial given your positive blood tests, but could also...

    A biopsy would still be needed for 5% of people per the article, and the standard tTG test is 95% accurate in diagnosing celiac disease--thus 95% of people can avoid biopsy. That is a great thing! Who wants to undergo a risky procedure that could give them an infection or subject them to a risk from the anesthesia?
