Hey all

 

This is the first time ive logged in, in about 10 months maybe could be longer. I decided i was reading everyday about being sick and it wasnt healthy but i would like to thank all who helped me with my previous threads, particually the one about my girlfriend making me sick that was a long saga but its sorted now. After getting over the first 6 months living life with my separte cultury,plates and 40 sponges i use a week is just normal and this is the healthiest ive been ever. So hopefully i can help others who are going through the same process, i would say its been a good few months since i was properly glutened actually the last time was when i tried that dominos gluten free :/ bad times.

 

Not a real point to this thread just wanted to show my appreication and a thank you.

Hi Chris. It's great that you're feeling better and dropping by to help people like me! I know what it's like reading about your symptoms/diagnosis all the time... when I was first dx with visual snow, I subscribed to the Facebook group and wanted to learn everything about it. Eventually I knew I wasn't going to find any answers (the cause of the symptom is unknown) and was just making myself more worried and anxious reading about it. Awesome to hear that you are on your journey to healing!

Thx all i think its came down to my stubborness it has helped alot, eating the same food everyday and going through 20 sponges a week seems mad to others but its what we must do. I think my sentivity is still high but much better than it was, going on holiday next week could be a real challenge but bringing lots of food to cook.

 

Thx Diana hope your well

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
