Hello, my name is Gerry. I am a certified Medical Technologist currently working as a Clinical Systems Analyst. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2006 by blood/biopsy. I have two wonderful children, 1 of whom has screened positive for a celiac gene pair. My strong background in Medical Technology assured a quick diagnosis once symptoms appeared. Since then, I have been living a strict gluten-free life.

What country are you talking about?  Maybe you should make that clear as many countries, including the US, already have a gluten-free labeling law.

No wait!   I see....this I see from 2013!  Why is this showing as a new and current article?  We already have the law he was wanting to debate

Great!  Let people be able to read the old ones if they like.  I just don't think we should put them on here like they are "new" news.

Perhaps the old articles could be under a different heading? Or classify it as the year it was published? Many people won't notice the year on their own and think this is new.

With the odd and misleading picture of Japanese? food, I thought it might be about another country.

 The category this article is in is called: "Journal of Gluten Sensitivity Spring 2013 Issue." When you click on the article it is the second, larger font text shown.

 But....it was posted in the forum on Saturday......   that make sure it look current.  It isn't someone bumping up a 2013 post by answering it.  

 

Maybe,  if you are going to recycle old articles as new forum posts, you could put right at the top of the forum post something like - "previously posted dec 2013"  " encore article lfrom Dec 2013"

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
