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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
