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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
