Could it be that your body is going into protection mode, and severely slowing down your metabolic processes? Could it also be bloating and water retention? Yikes, it sounds like you are not doing too well on a challenge! Are you sure you want to go through with it? Vomiting that much and dealing with that much diarrhea sounds as if your body is having a quite violent reaction to the challenge.

That could be. My face is swelling, maybe my whole body is? Also I am very tierd most of the time, so you might be on to something with the metabolisem. Feels like am asking thousands of questions these days, my brain does not seem to be working properly and I can't work things out on my own..

Im doing the biopsi in 6 days, so I'll have to finish these last few days when I have come this far. Looking foreward to it so much it hurts!

My fluid balance gets off when I have gluten.  Yes, my face gets puffy, and for sure my abdomen and thighs.  I believe the whole body does swell; the shoe store lady grew incredulous while noticing lines that denote swelling on my shoes.  I even know what it feels like when it goes out.  First my shoulders start being a little small for my clothes.  My abdomen and thighs swell up bigger.  At about this point I have frequent urination for several days.  Lastly, my whole body is much smaller.  Once I lost 30 lbs in a week.

 

As I understand this problem had to do with adrenal glands and hormonal imbalance.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
