We know she needs that official dx. And here's the thing..... if she goes gluten free & then tries to go back to gluten for an endoscopy she's likely to have a MUCH harder time. We tend to react far stronger to gluten after we've been off of it. Many people have thought they could go off it & then go back on it because the wait time for an endoscopy was a while but they just screw themselves up by doing that. Some find they get so very sick that they can not stay on it for even 2 weeks in order to be able to get the endoscopy. So please tell her not to make that mistake. It's better to suffer through eating gluten until an endoscopy than to go gluten-free & then go back to eating gluten. 

I know it sucks but that's the best way to do it.

She is going to wait. Thanks again for the good advice.

I talked to a lot of relatives today. Turns out i have a few cousins with leaky gut and or celiacs on my dads, dads side and on his moms side almost the entire family has chrones disease. I also have a cousin that has hashimotos disease. One of my cousins died of pancreatic cancer last year and an uncle died of it 25 years ago. Sounds like i have some really bad genetics.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
