[kkgirl]

I was dx with mcas in January. Can that cause decreased folds in duodenum. back in 2012 i was dx with celiac so now i am very confused.

 

Does mcas and celiac go together?

I also have hasimotos,  lupus, eds, and POTS, fructose malsorption so i am very confused..

I know several people with Mast cell issues and Celiac.

I can not speak for all your issues, but many of them fall under the Hypersensitivity (4 types) of the immune system.    This is on Wikipedia, but it is pretty straight forward:

Here is a YouTube Explanation.  There are a bunch of them.

Yes.  The damage to the small intestine mucosa can be caused by too many mast cells or celiac disease or both.

Not around here much lately, popped in to quote an old post.

You should ask your doctors for complete antibody testing...be sure you are still consuming enough gluten.

Good Luck : )

kkgirl,

Check out this article by "The Celiac Patient".

She has the best information I have read on the topic of the connection/association of MCAs in/with a Celiac diagnosis.

I hope this is helpful.

Posterboy,

May I ask how they diagnose MCAS? I have celiac and POTS as well and worry that I have mcas

Read the link that Posterboy gave.  Jebby (Jessica) is a celiac who is also a preemie MD.  She explains the testing well.
