Terrible Neurological Symptoms
Scott Adams replied to HectorConvector's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
That sounds really rough, and losing that much weight with ongoing duodenal inflammation and fatigue is a lot for your body to handle. It is encouraging that you have managed to gain a little back, because that at least suggests you are moving in the right direction. Many people with gut damage seem to end up juggling multiple food sensitivities while trying... -
Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease
Scott Adams replied to Aileen Cregan's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes, there does seem to be some evidence that people with celiac disease can have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems, especially if inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or other autoimmune issues are involved, but it certainly does not mean everyone with celiac disease will develop heart disease. High blood pressure is also very common in the general... -

Thanks for sharing this. The Nature article you linked confirms your key points: this 47-year-old woman’s situation was indeed desperate and life-threatening, requiring daily blood transfusions and failing nine prior treatments, making CAR-T therapy a true "last chance." You are right to note the article does not detail the therapy's downsides—such as the...

Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day: -

HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing
Scott Adams replied to Jmartes71's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Connecting with others who might be in the same boat is what this forum is all about! That seems like a positive approach. -
That is amazing support, and it is great to hear such a positive story!

Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

Celiac.com 04/07/2026 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which eating gluten triggers inflammation and damage in the small intestine. While the intestinal effects are well known, researchers increasingly recognize that celiac... -
When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack ...

HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing
Scott Adams replied to Jmartes71's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overa... -
Yes, I don't recommend barley or wheat grass, even though technically speaking if it's made using ONLY the pure grass it is gluten-free, however, I've witnessed them make it at Jamba Juice and the seeds/kernels often get mixed into the grass before they juice it, so in that case would not be safe.

Understanding Labs
Scott Adams replied to Mich1724's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum! Your results are a bit mixed, but not uncommon. Your total IgA level is normal, which means the standard celiac tests (tTG-IgA) should be reliable—and those came back negative both times. However, your elevated deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) IgA (54, above normal) can sometimes indicate gluten-related immune activity, especially i... -
