Told To Eat Gluten

[suzie c]

Ihave gluten sensitivity and have been told I don’t need to stick to a strict gluten-free diet.

Also my blood test was normal. They tested for autoimmune antibodies and vitamin deficiency and I was told that I would have these if I had celiac and so a biopsy wasn’t needed.

I`ve been ill for a long time so I’m worried that I might need other tests

there is no harm in trying the diet 100% and sticking to it for at least a few months to see if your health improves.

I believe there is much more to gluten related illnesses than just celiac. If your health does not begin to improve at all, keep searching for an answer. But if your health improves on the gluten-free diet, than why not go for it? It's a very healthy diet.

I suggest you get retested with a stool test:

who are these doctors anyway? i wish there was a way of reporting them for ignorance/ineptness. in my field, if you do something stupid, you are held accountable and license is revoked.

How do you know that you have gluten sensitivity if you bloodwork is normal? I believe with cornholio- if the diet works- follow it. You may need tests for other food sensitivities/ allergies. Make sure you go to a doctor who is familiar with celiac and celiac testing. I don't know what you doctor tested for. Just because you don't have antibodies in you blood doesn't mean that you don't have Celiac. It just means your body has developed antibodies to cope- you may still have intestinal damage. I've heard Aloe juice is good for that. You should read dangerous grains. It will educate you that any doctor who says gluten is okay is an idiot! GLUTEN IS POISON FOR EVERYONE!
