14Month Update! Repeat Biopsy Results

Diagnosed 14 months ago Marsh 3b, scalloped duodenum, hiatus hernia.

Subsequent intolerances to MANY foods.

Severe anaemia, low vit d, major hairloss, severe adrenal fatigue, melasma, night sweats, neuropathy, depression, etc!

Repeat biopsy shows 'essentially NORMAL '

Not sure what they mean by essentially but normal sounds good to me.

I came back on to share this, for those of you out there that worry, fret, get anxious, cry, wonder when it's going to get better... It does happen. I was/am one of those that did all that worrying. I still have a way to go in regaining my former self. If indeed I ever will!! But... Healing DOES happen, it's happening for me on a diet that's severely restricted!

Keep at it! :-) x

Aw thanks guys. I'm still not where I need to be, but I just thought sometimes it's nice to hear some success. I know when I was diagnosed I looked for any possible success threads! We are all or have been looking for hope that things get better. I just wanted to share, to show that slowly but surely it can be done. It took a lot of green juices and food restrictions! I'm hoping in another year I might even grow some hair back!! Lol. That'd be nice! X

Congrats!!

 

and yes, just hang in there...I saw more results in symptom resolution (plus more hair regrowth) after 20 months.

 

Best wishes and stay the course.

That's wonderful! Great job sticking to the restricted diet, I know that it isn't easy. I'm vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and mostly sugar free.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
