I have had TWO Endoscopies with bisopys, and TWO rounds fo the blood test, no sign of celiac disease. So after 2 weeks of gluten-free'ing I had some gluten on Sunday. Couple little cake thingys at a chuch function, that was around 1130am or so. Felt fine rst of day, and then at dinner for some reason that I do not know remember (brain fog prbly LOL) I order a burger and did not tell them to keep the bun. Prbly been 4 years since i had a bun on my burgers, maybe once or twice in that period but I realy like burgers better with out the bun. That was around 6 or 630pm. Felt fine after that too... well for a while. Then at around 3am I woke up with a very bad stomache ache. Then around 445 when I get up and do my morning bible reading I could not focus at all, and had tons of gas/etc and stomache still hurting (even now at 7am).

BAH!!! :angry:

I guess that means either the four tests missed celiac disease, or it somehing thats normaly found with gluten like Dairy, eggs, etc. BAH. Why cant this be easy????? Maybe that test kit I ordered from Great Plains Labs will have a clue in it, I just hope I can get my doc to sign off on it so that its covered.

I have had the skin prick test for jsut about every food I eat and non of them should any re-action at all.

BAH!!! :angry::(

Sorry to hear you're feeling crummy. :( I bet it's the gluten though. With your son's celiac it just seems so likely.

I just recently read a post by a lady on a Dutch celiac board where she'd had three rounds of tests (blood&endo), and only the last one detected damage. It had just not progressed far enough before then to be detectable. Kudos to her and her doctors to keep testing I must say. Although personally, I would have gone gluten-free long before that (as I did, lol).

hang in there,

Vincent, Sorry to hear you're not feeling great.

So your tests are negative for celiac disease, however, you may have gluten intolerance without any detectable damage. I still think you should remain gluten free.

I had a mini cheesecake when I was intending to have a biopsy and I was fine BUT then I had 2 slices of bread and thought I was going to die. Took 10 days to fully recover. Specialist says the absolute worst thing thing we gluten sensitive can eat is bread.

I have read a lot of your posts and it definitely sounds like you have a problem with gluten, especially with your son's history. He got it from somewhere!

My 2 cents worth. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi, Vincent--So sorry that your not feeling well. Bummer, I know. I have to say that your symptoms do sound like they're gluten related. And the family connection with your son. Maybe the new tests will uncover something--I hope so! At this point, I would listen to what your body is telling you (since the tests won't tell). I wish I had more to offer :)

Sorry to hear you have been feeling bad...since you know you have a problem with it and see even some improvement on the diet what is keeping you from following it? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by it. Even if it's just an intolerance and not celiac you definitely seem to have an issue...I hope you get feeling better here soon :)

Well if it was just me, probably would. But I ultimatly need to know if theres somthing else, for my son's sake. He seems to have inherited most of my umm "issues" so if theres some other intolernce here, I want to know to watch him for it too.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗
