I was diagnosed with refractory celiac disease after being on a strict GFD after several years and having IGA counts under 5 but with endoscopy imaging after five years showing villi still non existent.

I just went for my three year gastrointestinal imaging series and not only have none of my villi regrown, the duodeum is actually turning a grayish black color. I have followed the strictest of gluten...
