The docs don't want you to start the gluten free diet before the biopsy but if you have been a Celiac for sometime there probably is enough damage done to the villi that it would take more than a couple of weeks to repair. They say it takes 6 months to 2 years for healing to be complete. Better inform your doctor, however, that you have already been on the gluten free diet.

I was just diagnosed, however I still haven't gotten the official results of the biopsy.

I was feeling bad for about a year and my sister told me she had Celiac Spu. I had no idea what it was and said "so.... I got a fake tree for christmas" :D

My blood work came back positive and my family doctor told me to start the diet right away. After two weeks I felt better than I ever did in the last year. Then my GI specialist called and said do not stay on the diet until after the biopsy because it could come up negative.

I hope we can learn together. This site is great!!

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely? 
    • Scott Adams
      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
