Early Diagnosis Of Gluten Sensitivity: Before The Villi Are Gone!

I learned a lot about Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance/Sensitivity from my naturopathic doctor this week. I went into his office thinking that celiac disease and gluten intolerance were a very different diagnoses with different treatments. Hence the reason for me wanting to know which one I had. Well, as you can guess, I was wrong. The treatment is the same, and the damage done to your body by the gluten can be the same. With both you need to adopt a gluten free diet for life.

He gave me this article to read which really explains how severe a gluten sensitivity really is when in our society we are lead to believe that an intolerance or sensitivity is not as serious as celiac disease.

I know that a lot of people already know about enterolab here, but I think this forum is where new people coming in probably end up and reading this article really helped me understand a lot of things.

LittleZoe...thanks for the link. I found the article to be very interesting as I am awaiting the results of my biopsy (which I suspect will be negative). I was just diagnosed with a form of microscopic colitis and it certainly seems to fit right in there with gluten sensitivity, if not full-blown celiac disease. Dr. Fine does a good job of explaining the link and why the stool testing seems to be so much more accurate than blood tests. And we all know that the biopsies are not necessarily foolproof either.

Thanks!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
