What you’re describing is, sadly, something many people with celiac disease recognize all too well—being questioned, dismissed, or mislabeled when you’re simply trying to understand and manage a condition that has real, lifelong consequences. Wanting documentation, clarity, and continuity of care isn’t “chasing” a diagnosis; it’s advocating for your own ...

Happy birthday—and that’s a very reasonable question to ask. Yes, secondary hyperparathyroidism can absolutely be driven by malabsorption, especially in people with celiac disease, where low vitamin D and impaired calcium absorption keep parathyroid hormone elevated even after partial correction. Many find that PTH can lag behind vitamin D improvements for...

Thank you for sharing this—your story is heartbreaking, powerful, and, unfortunately, far too familiar to many in the celiac community. Being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and blamed for symptoms for decades, only to later discover they were all connected to untreated celiac disease and malabsorption, represents a profound failure of the medical system. The p...

You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

nothing has changed
Scott Adams replied to wellthatsfun's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c... -
Is it gluten?
Scott Adams replied to Woodster991's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done. -
I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

IBS-D vs Celiac
Scott Adams replied to SilkieFairy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y... -

Better to know late than never, and it is too bad they did not test you for it earlier!
