You know, they really ought to standardize testing protocol a bit better for some diseases like Celiac so we have some consistency here!  I have never seen the combined assay before and I am not really sure why they would combine antibody testing like that but hey, I am not wearing the white coat!

Increased IEL's also happen in the early stages of Celiac and we all know it can take YEARS for it to get bad enough for the blood screen to scream positive or show up as Marsh damage on biopsy. As a first degree relative, you know you probably have the ability to pop for it. Have you had the gene testing done? I think the pill cam is a good idea and it will be interesting to see what it shows when you have it done.....hopefully!  Are you gluten free now before any more testing?

The celiac center at Columbia just published a study in February on TTG negative DGP positive biopsies. They utilized both screens. It is maddening. I thought I had the answer then....nope! I think they even make a TTG/DGP screen but do not quote me on it. 

Yes, I am gluten free now as of late May per my specialist. I have undergone so much testing and more then one gluten challenge. I am DQ2 positive. 

I was thinking of restarting gluten just for the pill cam as it may be several more weeks due to insurance. But I do not think I will. 

Almost daily, I go through an episode of horrible pressure in my right ribs. Sitting makes it worse. I can feel it radiate through my right neck into my head. Sometimes it causes an irregular heart beat. I would swear I had an obstruction in the hepatic curve of the colon (this symptom started last summer after stabbing pains post a colonoscopy so I thought maybe it twisted). Alas, I still "go", so obviously I am not obstructed. 

I will keep everyone posted on the pill cam.

Hello again! I called the gastro's office today and the receptionist told me that they mailed my results today, but she looked them up for me. I feel like this office is really incompetent. They changed my procedure time from 10 am to 7:30 am and didn't inform me. Anyway, the receptionist looked up my results and said the colonoscopy came back normal and also the endoscopy. I asked her about the tests, because they biopsied for Celiacs, h.pylori, and microscopic colitis, and she told me that my esophagus was normal. Everything was normal. When I asked her if the results said anything about marsh stages she said it just said normal. So my question is, is this normal? Lol! I feel like she was just looking at the immediate results of the scopes so now I'm in limbo till it comes in the snail mail because they are closed for the weekend. So frustrating! Isn't the celiac biopsy determined by marshes?

My biopsy didn't mention marsh stages. It mentioned blunted villa. Normal means normal.

If it comes back negative for celiac you could still have NCGS and still require a gluten-free diet. We have a few members with this kind of issue that can give you more information on it.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
