I am sorry that you are ill.  

Have you had repeat celiac antibodies testing?  That can help determine if active celiac disease is the root cause of your symptoms.  Antibodies should be on a downward trend at the very least.  

It is not uncommon to expect a long recovery.  Most celiacs report on this forum that it takes a year or longer to heal.  Most often it is due to hidden gluten exposures.  Consider a super restrictive diet.  This study contains a recommended diet to be used for a few weeks or months.  It can help determine if you are getting gluten exposures.

Hi as cycling lady says strict whole foods no eating out is best. I found I had to make my own gluten-free products and avoid processed gluten-free foods after testing. I didn't start feeling like my immune system even began to stand down until 2 1/2 to 2  3/4 years after scopes.

I also had other food intolerances discovered by food elimination diet .

Good luck

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies, besides iron?   Celiac disease causes inflammation which results in nutritional deficiencies.   Iron needs Thiamine and the other B vitamins to make new red blood cells.   Iodine and thiamine deficiencies affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is one organ that uses lots of thiamine.   Vitamin D deficiency leads to hormonal problems, including menstrual problems.  Vitamin D needs Thiamine to activate it.   Heart palpitations and chest pain after gluten exposure can be evidence of poor digestion and a drop in available thiamine.  Consumption of any  foods high in carbohydrates can cause a drop in thiamine.  This is called high...

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Okay, Thank you!! I already have thyroid problems and my total iron binding capacity is high which usually means low iron but everything else was normal, lower end but “normal” my hair falls out and my nails won’t grow without breaking but nothing is being treated iron wise.  I have started having palpitations and chest pain,  both of which seem to be attributed to exposure to gluten. I’ve also been having a lot of nightmares, anxiety, numbness and tingling, brain fog, spotting between cycles and acne. Idk if all those are relatable to gluten / celiac but I’m concerned  I’ve finally tipped my body/ immune system into a bad place. Is there anyway to detox and heal faster or treat...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Start with this study... High-dose thiamine supplementation improves glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic individuals: a randomized, double-blind cross-over trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23715873/ "Conclusion/interpretation: Supplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin, and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia. High-dose thiamine supplementation may prevent or slow the progression of hyperglycemia toward diabetes mellitus in individuals with impaired glucose regulation." They used 100 mg of thiamine three times a day.  They don't say which kind of thiamine was used. ...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @knitty kitty I see, thank you!!  Yes, basically the biopsy just said "normal villous architecture."  It didn't give any kind of Marsh score at all, but it sounds like it would be a 0 based on the biopsy report, which is why he's saying it's Latent or Potential celiac.  It's just weird because I know in Europe if I was a child, they wouldn't even do the biopsy, so how does this system make any sense?? I have had an A1c and it's normal.  I do know that I have insulin resistance, however, so there's that. Wow, thank you for all this information!!!  I have a lot of reading to do!

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested.
