To all of the newbies, stick with the diet strickly, it is worth it! I have been gluten-free now for 2 1/2 years. If you read my bio you know I was suffering bad when I first come to this site. It's hard for me to believe now how much pain and how stressed my system was. It took me a good 2 years of recovery, the first year being the hardest. Now I am back in the gym lifting heavy weights and no longer feeling the aches in my tendons, joints or bones!! I can jog again. Not only do I have energy for workouts but I can sleep at night too....I know how rough that was. Stick with it, don't cheat....embrace what you can do and what you can have, it will make the difference!

that is awesome, annette!!!  and great advice, as well :)  it does get a little bumpy sometimes, but soooooooooo worth it.  i, too, was limping toward my open grave and i'm so glad i COMMITTED to this diet.  it takes a little ironing out to make sure you are strictly gluten-free and, you're right - that is so important.  thanx for this encouraging post :)  love it!  :)

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

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      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.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
