Hi,

this is probably very straightforward, but my technical skills are woefully behind the times ...

I've noticed that a number of people include links to information elsewhere on the web. I would be grateful to learn how to do this as I also have come across information from time to time that I think others might find interesting but haven't known how to do the fancy link inclusion.

Thanks,

Kaylee

This makes two of us wondering how it is done. I am woefully illiterate in computer!

You can just put the direct link in your post, like this:

Open Original Shared Link

Our board software will automatically turn it into an HTML link.

I hope this helps.

If it were me (and when it was me) I would need a step by step answer...so here goes...say your visiting a site and you see an article or want to referrence the spot to someone (add a link here so others can go there). You see the "Address" bar for anyplace you are on the net at the top of your browser (such as www.glutenfreeforum.com/index). You go up there, click anywhere on it once so that it is all highlighted, then go up to Edit and click that, then the drop down menu gives several choices, select Copy (you can copy anything by highlighting and then selecting this feature), then when you start your post here and are ready to add it into your text just put your curser where you want it to show up, go back to the Edit button and this time select Paste and it will show up in your text, anything you select to Copy will be stored until you copy something else. I apologize if this isn't what you were asking, or if it is something you already know, but I think everyone who has used a computer for awhile forgets that you don't just KNOW all the little stuff everyone else takes for granted. :blink:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
