Lists celiac disease as one of the top 7 misdiagnosed illnesses. Word is getting out - slowly.

Great article! Thanks for posting that!

"Recognize symptoms.

They can include chronic diarrhea, abdominal bloating and pain, weight loss, foul-smelling stool, seizures, edema, and a painful skin rash. "

Shame these are the only symptoms they list. I never had diarrhea (I was constipated), did not have weightloss (I gained too easily), and never had the others listed. It is a good article, just not very indepth. I expected more from Prevention.

Yeah, I wish they had listed more of the symptoms and talked about the neurological problems some celiacs and gluten intolerant people face. But hey, it's a start. And I like the fact that they did talk about how it is so often misdiagnosed.

      @knitty kitty I see, thank you!!  Yes, basically the biopsy just said "normal villous architecture."  It didn't give any kind of Marsh score at all, but it sounds like it would be a 0 based on the biopsy report, which is why he's saying it's Latent or Potential celiac.  It's just weird because I know in Europe if I was a child, they wouldn't even do the biopsy, so how does this system make any sense?? I have had an A1c and it's normal.  I do know that I have insulin resistance, however, so there's that. Wow, thank you for all this information!!!  I have a lot of reading to do!

      That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested.

      Welcome to the forum!  Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead to more serious issues later.

      Oh yes, I figured 50g of bread would contain way less than that in gluten. I just meant to say that I tried to make my 2 daily slices count instead of 2 tiny Wonder bread slices haha.  Thanks for the insight trents, I appreciate someone validating that what I'm going through isn't all in my head or something! This process has been so frustrating and confusing.  I guess the only thing about not getting the "official" diagnosis is not knowing how strict to be with CC (in my early 20s trying to think about the long term effects) but I hope starting the diet will bring some relief either way. Thanks again.

      Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive celiacs should definitely avoid it.
