Told To Eat Gluten

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!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
