The doc said I atleast have gluten intolerance and either way can't eat gluten..but I have been eating fairly gluten free for awhile, unintentionally..aaand he only tested for two things, not the full panel, and I'm still anemic despite taking iron pills..

I think it was a false negative, but maybe not.. Is there anything else I can do to check? He would only schedule me an endoscopy of the test was positive..

Anyone else gluten intolerant?? Or does anyone else believe you're test was false?

Thank youuuuu

Did you get a copy of the tests from your doc?  Maybe he didn't even do the right tests?  Its been known to happen.

 

And this is the right place to discuss tests and results.

How frustrating for you! I really hope they come up with better tests for NCGI soon... I'm of the opinion that gluten intolerance is a spectrum, and that celiac disease is on the spectrum, it just happens to create intestinal villi damage and the type of celiac blood tests we have are (as I understand it) autoantibodies that respond to intestinal damage. That's only one type of symptom!

 

My children all tested negative to celiac disease (unlike their mom) but I am SURE that two of the three have some sort of gluten intolerance; one especially. There is a lot of eveidence that they do better gluten-free, and with a mother who is a celiac, it would make sense if the have it... I suspect false negative but in my view, NCGI is basically the same thing and requires the same treatment.

 

Good luck on the gluten-free diet.  :)

Our daughters ped told us gluten intolerance does not make you anemic but celiac disease does. I don't know if he's 100% correct but that's how we got a diagnosis

No, it was not a full panel..I asked for one, but they could only test for two out of the full panel. I will call and get a copy of the test. Thank you all <3 but is there any different between the lifestyles of gluten intolerance and celiac? Since I tested negative for celiac I feel like I don't have to be sooo strict..but I'm not sure.

Many of us on this forum have come to believe that gluten intolerance is a spectrum of disorders that has not yet been fully classified (the medical profession less than 18 months ago finallly accepted that there was such a disease entity as non-celiac gluten intolerance), and that celiac disease is only part of that spectrum, which by definition causes damage to the gut.  Other parts of the spectrum provoke dermatitis herpetiformis, the skin form of celiac disease, which is officially recognized as being celiac disease.  Another part of the gluten spectrum is the neurological form which can cause symptoms from migraine to brain fog, to mimicking MS.  Nobody has yet categorized the part of the gluten spectrum which does not do any of these things - i.e., it gives you diarrhea and bloating but does not damage the gut, the brain or the skin.  But we don't know yet what other damage it might do.

 

I personally feel that you are on a slippery slide if you allow your thinking to go down the path of "I don't have celiac and therefore I don't need to be so strict."  You have obvious evidence that gluten is harming you in some way.  I would not want to take the risk that there was other damage, such as predisposing me to lymphoma and other nasties, that we don't know about just yet.  I believe you should take it just as seriously as if you were celiac.

Makes sense!! Thank you for the explanation! :)

I have a loooong list of symptoms, so I'm not going to even list them. I just didn't want to be acting like a "wannabe"celiac, if that makes sense?I wanted to be sure that the doctor said I was one, before I tell anyone else..but I will just say I'm a celiac now! Sooo happy thaaaat I'll finally get better:)

Thank you all sooo much! :)

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
