    Your doctor seems to be very updated on this, I wish more doctors would follow suit. The biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosis is a very outdated model of diagnosis, and I hope that more doctors get up to date on recent research which shows that most people can be diagnosed without a biopsy.

    Many items that are naturally gluten-free don't have this on their label. This doesn't mean they contain any gluten. In general I agree that if given a choice, try to go for things that are marked "gluten-free," or even better, are certified gluten-free, however, there are just too many safe things that would be excluded from your diet if you took this approach...

    Please pass on a message to those Starbucks executives: Wake up! You need more gluten-free options! I know they've tried and failed in the past, but it's time to offer good, fresh baked, gluten-free options!

    It's doubtful the doctor will reply, but if you have celiac disease it is never ok to cheat and eat gluten. If you have gluten sensitivity you should also not eat gluten.

    More information about "Can Gene Editing Make Wheat and Peanuts Less Allergenic?"
    Celiac.com 02/10/2021 - Wheat, peanuts, milk, eggs, tree nuts, fish, crustacean shellfish and soy account for 90 percent of food allergies in the U.S. Imagine if we could just remove the offending allergens from our food. What would that...

    While there are other causes of villi blunting, the most common cause is probably still gluten, although there isn't a lot of research that compares the rates of villi blunting and their causes. We just did this article on this topic: One angle for you might be to go gluten-free for several months, and see if your doctor is willing to do another biopsy...

    Just keep in mind that only around 1% of people have celiac disease, but ~10% have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and there is currently no screening for it.

    I think it works very well, but has limits, as it works on small amounts of gluten, like what you might get if your food were contaminated by accident. Here is a review I wrote of it, and I stand by it:

    Great, but do you happen to also have the scale/cut off for a positive reading? Each lab is different, so knowing this would be helpful.

    I've not heard of this being related to going gluten-free, but have experienced this myself when I used to eat gluten and had reactions to it. Here is a search of our site where others discussed this as a symptom: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=pulse&search_and_or=and You may want to get screened for high blood pressure, and shift your...

    It's hard to tell by your description, hopefully you didn't swallow any, but just in case: Also, I have GliadinX enzymes handy for such times.

    This is interesting, but would not be enough to make me exclude quinoa in my diet, as I just don't eat it often enough to be concerned, plus I've never had a negative reaction to it. However, anyone who is eating lots of quinoa should take note. It would be interesting to find out how widespread the 2 toxic strains are in the food supply.

    I will admin that it's hard to recall all the details, but at the time of my diagnosis I have flattened villi, major diarrhea, had lost weight, had helicobacter pryori, and had leaky gut. I had additional temporary food intolerance issues to diary, chicken eggs, tomatoes, garlic among other things. The lower right pain in my gut started feeling better...

    I will assume you've been on your diet for a few weeks, but normally you would add a food back and record any issues you have afterwards. A "gut test" like this isn't the most accurate way to figure out additional food sensitivities, and there are companies like Cell Science Systems and their ALCAT tests that do this more accurately, and I'm in the process...

    I've never tried them, but have tried a similar product. Many people favor the Nima Sensor for ease of use, and a faster test result. It looks like a bit of a science lab setup to run a test, so it may not be practical for doing in a restaurant, but would be better for home use.

    I recall that I had lower-right side pain until I was finally diagnosed and went gluten-free. It did take months for it to get better.

    I just did the Sundance Film Festival Award Winners online. Many film festivals are now online, so you can enjoy them safely.

    The best one for accidental gluten ingestion is GliadinX, which is a sponsor here. Their AN-PEP enzyme has been shown to be effective in multiple studies. I'm not sure what your goal is for taking enzymes. My goal was being able to eat out but was worried about cross-contamination, even if the restaurant had a gluten-free menu.

    When you say your blood tests were negative, can you share your values, and the range? Sometimes people have high values that are just below the cut off, and combined with mild villi blunting, your ongoing symptoms, and the fact you were on PPI's for so many years, to me those exact levels would be important. At the very least you may have non-celiac gluten...

    The article is quite old, and is archived, but it is possible to process an ingredient, for example hydrolyzed wheat protein, to the point where it would test below 20ppm. That said, you would need to decide whether or not you would like to include this in your diet. It is likely gluten-free, but apparently does use barley to make that ingredient. It might...
