How soon after your diagnosis did you have an endoscopy? My doctor wants me to have one, It has been 3 months since Dx and I still have some symptoms. Thank you.

Perosnaly, I do not plan to have one, ever. Unless somthing happens to show a real need for it. But thats just my take on it.

most of the experts that I've had a chance to discuss this with feel that follow up biopsies are NOT needed unless you are not getting better. Also, don't expect to be 100% better after only 3 months. The average is about 2 years... I'm coming up on 3 years and while I do feel a lot better, I'm not 100% YET... but I'm getting there. It just involves weeding out ALL the cross contamination and hidden gluten, and being extremely vigilant in this diet, and exploring OTHER food intolerances as well.

I personally did not have a biopsy to begin with, but I KNOW my villi were damaged based on the state of my health. Based on the fact that I have improved tremendously tells me I'm healing. I do not ever plan on having a biopsy.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
