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! :)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
