      Positive biopsy

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Positive biopsy

      Yep, you've got celiac disease. That is a high score. In the U.K. you could have been diagnosed on the TTG-IGA score alone and not needed an endoscopy/biopsy. But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have...

      Positive biopsy

      This is a good point. The primary things I’ve been able to tolerate are crackers and pretzels and bread slices (also rice and potatoes but ntp). I’ve been loading up on gluten based snacks so the testing should be valid as far as I understand.

      Positive biopsy

      Just one thing I will add that you need to be aware of. If by some chance you had been avoiding gluten or eating less of it than what would be normal for most healthy people, the antibody results for celiac might still be negative. I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should...

But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have been years ago. Taking years to get a celiac diagnosis after onset is typical because the symptoms mimic so many other bowel diseases and many of us have "silent" celiac for years, meaning we have no or few symptoms until damage the small bowel lining becomes quite advanced and other symptoms, e.g. iron deficiency anemia, start showing up.

I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should. Valid celiac antibody testing requires the consumption of normal/generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw.
