One can be gluten sensitive even if one does not have the genes for CD or if tests for CD are negative. 

Since I cannot post a link to a website you can find this info by Googling "Intestinal Health Institute"<br/><br/>

I have been trying to convince my GI doc of this for two years now. I was diagnosed with MC in 2009. I had to beg him to test me for CD. A year later he reluctantly agreed. Blood test off the charts. positive for CD Confirmed (like It needed to be?) with endoscopy. I have a follow up appointment Monday. I will be taking this article for him. Maybe this can help someone else. I think not only should CD patients be tested for MC but visa versa like me.<br/><br/>

So far, nothing works for me, but I'm still looking for more information about it.<br/><br/>

The GI doctor suspected maybe I was somehow consuming gluten without knowing - the symptoms were so similar - but biopsies confirmed that it was MC alone. (This also shows that it can develop in people with CD even when CD-related inflammation is not active.) 

A long list of things can trigger MC, especially medications; all NSAIDs (Advil, aspirin, etc.) and all SSRIs (many common antidepressants) have been linked to it. I'm very glad more studies are being published on this, and I hope more focus is placed on identifying triggers & causes. 

I also hope more doctors will consider this as a possibility even if the patient is not in the "typical" age/gender group - I was diagnosed with MC when I was 21.<br/><br/>

Who has developed the "perfect" diet for both (I have both)? Why do we have to push this information on "specialists"?  I am tired of being treated like I am stupid and then I am correct. I have also developed such a cough, I know it is food allergies. Ideas?<br/><br/>
