The short answer is yes, it does. Are you sure you're not consuming any gluten?

And you're also sixteen, that's enough to make anyone depressed <_<

Off course it does...

I always feel really depressed after eating gluten by mistake, eventhough my life really rocks! ;)

Try checking your food for any kind of hidden gluten sources!

I am very depressed also when I get gluten. It is aweful and it was one of my symptoms before finding out. I got gluttened this past Saturday night and yesterday was miserable!

I don't know about the corn. What symptoms are you having. You could try eliminating it from your diet. I think that would be the only way to tell.

Go see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling. Make sure you get the help you need.

Lauren,

I would suggest getting allergy testing done by a qualified allergist. They test for all common food allergens, including corn. I have a mild allergy to corn and several other foods in addition to being gluten intolerant. There are different types of allergy tests available. I'm not sure what the latest and greatest technology is for allergy testing but mine was the skin prick test. They can also do it by a blood sample but I'm not sure which is considered most accurate. The type of testing I had done was over $1000.00 but my insurance paid for it.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
