I always thought I was a little weird :)

We haven't done any genetic marker testing on anyone else. I'm not really sure it would be worth it. I only did it because the GI doc said no to Celiac and he wanted it to rule it out further. I guess in his mind it gave him one more reason to say no. Thanks for adding the links, but they were greek to me! My husband was diagnosed as Celiac as a toddler, but until it was mentioned for me, we didn't know you don't outgrow it. His tests came back negative, but he is gluten free with me.

Private message skylark with a link to your results. Ask her to look at them.

So, your daughter was dx'ed by bloodwork/biopsy - and she probably has her Dad's genes in the mix (if they ever look).

Many ai diseases have a positive reaction to gluten-free, along with celiac disease. I don't think the particular Celiac test you were + on has reasons for false + (it's ver specific). but, keep googling about that test and you may find it. Or, you can be Celiac. The genes they look for are the most common in the west - not the world - and Celiac research in other populations are showing different gene involvements. Plus, the gene itself isn't the deciding factor since not all people with the genes have celiac disease - something activates them - and they don't know what it is or how to test for it.

Good news - gluten-free helps you. So by all means keep doing it. And if your hematologist dx'ed you celiac don't fight it (especially since the diet helps) unless other issues keep popping up. And then, it may be "in addition to" issues re: Celiac.

      I've added NAC, N-Acetyl Cysteine; "crucial for replenishing glutathione—the body's master antioxidant." I used Clear Eyes 1% NAC lubricating eye drops for several years until the FDA forced them off the market.  In 2015 I had cataracts in bofh eyes.  In 2019 my left eye was clear, right eye was improved.  They are back now.  I discovered new companies with the drops at higher NAC but went with 500 mg NAC capsules.  Spread the cheer 🤓. My impression so far is the NAC is doing good.  Best with meal.

      When the pizza was dropped off she told me it had a Udi's certified gluten-free crust.  Even so, I am trying to play things as safe as possible for at least the next 6-months.  With that said, I returned the two slices to my neighbor and asked her to thank her mom for the pizza.  😊  I will likely bump into my neighbor's mom sometime next week.  She shuttles my neighbor's son, a freshman, to and from high school.  As mentioned, she is very kind so I am sure she will understand.  Heck, at least it went back to her family members and not in the trash.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.
