Hello, like most suffers of Celiac disease and Gluten-intolerance, I suffer from at the very least a couple Autoimmune issues. My question is, the only real reason I have completely restructured my life and diet is to see the antibodies to my thyroid and other areas to return to zero(0). Or, at least into the safe reference range. Otherwise, I would not want...

Agreed. Although I'm still not much better 10 months later, so I certainly have some more digging to do.

I wanna say yes, but I went from a full-force standard-american diet directly to an AIP Whole foods diet. Going from daily pizza, ice crea, donuts, insane levels of sugar etc. to a diet full of vegetables and fish etc. It would be hard to attribute much of my feeling better to gluten-free when there were so many other possible factors at play, such as nutrient...

Ahh yes, I agree. Although there are still many mysteries and grey areas with autoimmunity, the root cause protocol of the functional medicine world is proving that its a battle that can be hard fault. Of course, as mysterious as autoimmunity still is, it is very unfortunate that some people as of right now are stuck in the cycle while others are reaching...

Little to no change in my thyroid antibodies.

I agree with and second virtually everything you have said, however, it is well documented that a minority of those with Hashimoto's can and do reach a complete remission and are able to absolve themselves of the thyroid hormone medication. (My true and ultimate health goal.) Now, while that is certainly a slim chance, it is possible nonetheless. Now of course...

My doctors are clueless. Most tests I get done are brought up by myself and met with resistance, let alone the capability of reviewing the results with me. My GI doctor doesn't even believe in intestinal permeability. I will be working closely with a Functional medicine practitioner in the near future when I gather a little more money, until then I'm trying...

Thank you for your input. Not seeking medical advice here :), but does anyone have some likely suggestions for what could be causing both? It's obviously a double inflammation issue, since they're both of the digestive track, perhaps food sensitivities? Although I'm on the AIP protocol now, and actually am still experiencing mild digestive issues nonetheless...

That's what I was thinking. The only reason I have really explored Celiac Disease was as part of a root cause protocol involving Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Although upon an anti-inflammatory diet not affecting my mild Thyroid antibodies, it was making me question the proposed diagnosis. From what you guys can tell though, the endoscopy did indeed assume a negative...

Okay, so as it turns out I've dug up the original bloodtests that preceded this endoscopy by about 3 weeks. I was eating substantial amounts of gluten at this time. Celiac Disease Genotyping Celiac (HLA-DQB1*02) POSITIVE AB Celiac (HLA-DQ8) Negative Celiac (HLA-DQA1*05) POSITIVE AB Tissue Transglutaminase...

I think they were attributing the gastritis and esophagitis to food sensitivities that may not actually be Celiac in nature. So maybe Non-celiac gluten intolerance or something or other. I actually suspect Candida or some other type of infecton that I haven't explored yet, since going completely anti-inflammatory barely affected my Thyroperoxidase antibodies...

That's all that in on my test results unfortunately. They are from early last year. (About 1.5 years ago) I was eating gluten at the time. I have been gluten free for 10 months now. (New years resolution. Complete adherence to an Autoimmune-paleo diet with no chance of flaws.) I would just like to know if that test is telling me that I did or...

Hello, I am a young man dealing with some Thyroid issues, along with some general digestive issues. A long time ago I was tested for Celiac disease via blood and was told I had it, but then had an endoscopy to confirm, and actually I got the results back, but I could never really decipher what they meant, so i just assumed I had it to be safe. I'm taking...
