PS - Welcome to the forum! This article we just published today is also very relevant to your question: -
There are tests in development that show promise, but none yet available...for example: I believe that many who have high levels of gluten antibodies, but don't cross the specific threshold to call it celiac disease, or those who have negative blood tests but mild villi blunting and the doctors tell them they are negative for CD, may be in the gluten...

Celiac.com 02/11/2021 - Do gastroenterologists have medical inertia towards celiac disease? As part of a UK multi-center secondary care study, a team of researchers recently set out to assess if there is secondary care medical inertia... -

Since there are now so many gluten-free cosmetic choices available, I recommend that all celiacs should switch over to them, regardless of what some "experts" say. This recommendation won't hurt you, and MANY on this forum have reported issues with gluten in their cosmetic products, especially those with DH, so it may help you. You might find this topic...

So one issue with how celiac disease is diagnosed is that the cut off levels in blood tests that define positive vs. negative results may miss cases of celiac disease. Many in this forum try gluten-free diets for some time before their tests are completed, thus might test negative when they would have tested positive had they eaten gluten daily before the...

Wow, this cake looks amazing! Thank you for sharing it!

Hi @Esmanee, welcome to the forum! Many people with celiac disease are asymptomatic, but this unfortunately does not mean that they won't face the same long-term health risks as those who have severe symptoms. This study might explain why some have symptoms and some don't, but it also shows that the negative intestinal changes are still seen in both...

Interesting, I will try altering how I cook chicken eggs to see if it helps. Duck eggs are actually very good, but are expensive. Duck eggs are also available at my local Whole Foods.

Testing for/diagnosing celiac
Scott Adams replied to pokey449's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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 The biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosis is a very outdated model of diagnosis, and I hope that more doctors get up to date on recent research which shows that most people can be diagnosed without a biopsy.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!

Pregnancy: Gluten Sensitivity and Your Child’s Brain Development
Scott Adams commented on Dr. Tom O'Bryan's article in Spring 2020 Issue
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. -
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.

Accidental gluten
Scott Adams replied to Kairos87's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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...

Accidental gluten

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. -
Is Quaker Oatmeal Gluten Free
Scott Adams replied to pokey449's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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. -
What was your recovery like?
Scott Adams replied to Quen's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
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... -
