Hello and Welcome!!!

I am the "friend with tics" from jnifred. I do find that my tics or twiches are worse when I have eaten gluten. It is in my left temple and now starting to affect my left eye. I thought I was going nuts when it first started happening. My doctor couldn't answer me. I am not sure that it is visible to the eye, but I do know when people put their finger on my temple, they freak out!! It is a little gross to most.

Anyway, it mostly happens only when I have gluten. This is not an immediate response. It happens usually the next day and lasts up to a week each time. I agree, cut the gluten out completely and see if that helps.

Good luck!!

Hey, welcome. Warning when you talk to Lisa's, specify which one ;) There are many of us :P

I'm still waiting to have that always positive/smiley feeling, but its so nice to see there are some Celiac's out there who do! Then again, you've always had Celiac (and I've only had it for 3 years). I'm 21 too, so we probably deal with a lot of the same feelings/issues..

I havent 'cheated' in a while, but I know that feeling of every once in a while having to give in. I know 99% of people with Celiac disagree, but sometimes its too much. And I'd rather have pains for a few days then have a panic attack.

If you ever need anyone to talk to about anything, just email me (you can find my email in my profile :P ), I'm always willing to make new friends! And havent found many around my age lol ..

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      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.
