Surely, some doctor thought to test her for Celiac disease. Is this made up or a real case? I'm hesitant to sign up so as to be able to offer a dx suggestion. I just don't trust that I won't get on a bunch of spam lists.

After reading, I think it's for a Netflix program that will be aired in 2019, and they don't know the dx yet. I don't think it's made up. You can always use a secondary "throw away" email address, as opposed to your primary one.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
