Hey! This is my first time on this site, so forgive me while I'll try figure it out haha. 

Hiya so I've had a lot of symptoms of celiac and my doctor had ordered a blood test. I went to get the results of the blood test with a different doctor but same clinic. The different doctor declared that my test was normal, and that the reason this was happening was because I didn't eat enough to vegetables. There was nothing she could do and she didn't know what's wrong with me "hope I feel better soon". She was a cow, offered no further testing or nothing. I was so angry and upset. So I have made an appointment with the nice normal doctor on Tuesday - May 3rd to see what more can be done testing wise. My question is how often is the blood test a false negative? I'm going to list some of my symptoms. 
-Stomach aches 
-Sharp pains
-Nausea 
-Constapation 
-Diarrhoea 
-Brain fog 
-Forgetful 
-Smelly gas 
-Mood Swings 
-Aniexty
-Weird rashes on my arms 
- Headaches (ALL THE TIME) 
-Bloating 
-Acid Reflux 
- My teeth ache all the time! 
-constant sore throats and mouth uslers 
This is most of my symptoms! Can someone please pleaseeeee help me :( I'm at a loss 

I also follow a vegan lifestyle as now, how can you not eat veges haha, thought I'd mention this. 

Also sometimes when I'm on the toilet I get oil in my poop? Weird? 

I'm a 15 year old girl, lives a pretty healthy lifestyle, just suffering right now. 
Thank you :)

perhaps a dietitian can help you make sure your vegan diet is balanced.  and yes, continue testing.

Yes keep testing and only see a doctor you are comfortable with. You may not have celiac, many assume they do but you need to keep testing in order to find out for sure. You may be intolerant vs celiac or something else altogether. Dietician a great idea mentioned above. Hang in there and you'll get it all figured out.

It would be a good idea to get a printed copy of your test results so you can see the numbers and see whch tests were actually run.

Teeth hurt and headaches, very likely you are clenching and grinding your teeth in your sleep. This can cause constant daily headaches, tooth and jaw pain.  A good night guard should be fitted by a TMJ specialist (even if you don't have TMJ symptoms, like clicking and popping in your jaw joint, this type of doctor should fit you).  If you want to try something first just buy one of the cheap night guards at a pharmacy or grocery store that you heat in water and fit yourself.  You will know quickly if it helps your headaches and tooth pain. 

Oily stool can be a sign of something wrong in the GI tract and you definitely should be investigated further for not just celiac but a number of other digestive conditions.

I agree completely with the advice to consult a dietician.

Do you eat gluten, and we're you eating it on a regular basis prior to testing?  If you were not eating hluten, you can get a false negative.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
