Cath G: My eyes only bother me if gluten gets in them - never if I eat it.

 

 

I have no idea what this means. Celiac is not about gluten in the eyes and allergic reactions

 

and there is only a response if it is INGESTED.

It isn't just ingesting. You can also get gluten contamination from breathing gluten in the air.  Flour particles stay airborne for several hours.   each and every single time I fly I get glutened by their pretzels. I now have to wear surgical gloves and a heavy duty filtered face mask when I board because as soon as they pass out those lame pretzels I immediately get brain fuzzed, nauseated, and my stomach balloons to where I look 5 months pregnant. Then I'm constipated for 2-4 weeks afterwards. 

If if you are celiac, stay away from all gluten. Every single product you use you need to check with the manufacturer. A lot of companies will say they are gluten free or don't contain gluten but it's manufactured in a dirty facility... So you will get cross contaminated easily. I had to stop taking all of my NOW vitamins and supplements as they warn you their products are made in a gluten-free and other allergen non compliant facility. I had changed everything but that and I kept getting sick. I had to switch some of my prescriptions as well.  It's ridiculous how freaking cheap and shady companies are. That means changing/checking floss, toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, hair products, hand soap, yadda yadda yadda.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
