Thank you, I will be more careful with contamination. I was tested for crohns and negative

I haven’t said anything to any of them, though they have probably detected it

Hi, I had a negative endoscopy as said in last posts. I am on an elimination diet through my dietician, and I haven’t been eating gluten. It’s been three weeks since I started, and I haven’t gotten measurable symptom relief. I’m starting to get worried that gluten isn’t the problem, and going back to square one. My dietician seems to be worried that I ha...

I am not a diagnosed celiac, I have been on a gluten free diet since a week ago suggested by dietician. My endoscopy was negative but my IGA blood tests were abnormal. I do experience really bad body odor as well, not sure if it’s related to gluten or not but so far no difference in BO. I’m hoping it is gluten, but I will tell you if I notice it to subside as ...

Hi! I have a lot of the same symptoms. I have had lactose intolerance when I was younger but “grew out of it.” I think this could also be contributing to my stomach issues because I don’t think I grew out of it. I have experienced pretty bad body odor, but not really breath odor. Mine isn’t smoky, as much as it is described as like stool. Who kn...

Thank you! So are blood test more accurate than an endoscopy? I know the endoscopy is the golden standard for diagnosing celiac but I’ve heard of the opposite. Thank you! But I was under the impression that the antibodies are only present when the body is fighting off the gluten? So that would mean that eating a gluten free diet while getting a g...

Yes, I had blood tests done in November 2017 due to strange symptoms and had positive IGA antibodies. Underwent an endoscopy and it was negative. To now where I’m visiting a dietician Yes, in previous posts I explained that I was suspected celiac because of positive Iga blood work but had a negative endoscopy.

Hi, I visited a dietician on Friday 3/30. She told me to follow a gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, no red meat, eggs, soy, peanuts or pistachios. So far it hasn’t been too hard (I started on Saturday 3/31). I am wondering if anyone has followed an elimination diet that’s similar. I have to follow the diet for a month, then go in for a reassessment. Ho...

Hi, I have undergone an endoscopy and was found that I do not have celiac. However, I had positive marker (IGG) and vitamin d deficiency tests. I am wondering if anyone has ever done a 23andme test and if they are a good idea I really want to cut gluten out of my diet already, since I have many horrible symptoms (including fecal BO) and...

My doctor called today to say the biopsy and endoscopy were normal. They want me to do laxatives for another month and come back in to see if symptoms are better. I really don’t think that’s going to help though. Any suggestions or tips?

Yes, I will have an upper endoscopy done

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I am new to this site and celiac in general. I’m in the process of tests and diagnosis of celiac. I have to be treated by a pediatric GI. I was referred from a regular nurse at my doctors office to visit a GI. I had blood work done at my regular physician that tested me positive for an antibody of celiac (I believe IGA). When my mom and I visited t...
