The Test Was Negative:(

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! :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
