Gluten Sensitivity Question

Does anyone have diagnosed Gluten Sensitivity and a negative endoscopy?

If so I would appreciate knowing how close together you had the tests and where you had the tests.

Thanks for your help. Claire

I'm not sure if I understand the question. Are you asking if anyone was diagnosed *Celiac* with positive bloodwork but negative biopsy? If so, there's lots of people on this site. Or are you asking about non-celiac gluten sensitivity?

This is my history:

Oct. 2004 -2 weeks after initiating the diet I had bloodtests done through my HMO. (antigliadin IgA and tTG) Results were negative. I went back on gluten and got extremely ill, lost 25 lbs.

I went gluten-free again April 2005. Got tested through Enterolab August 2005. (Positive IgA, tTG and malabsorption, 2 gluten sensitivity genes, no main celiac genes)

Oct. 2005 I had the endoscopy after having been on the diet 6 months already. I did not go back on gluten for the test. The biopsy was negative which was what we expected anyway.

Asking about non-celiac gluten sensitivity - wanting to know if anyone has this diagnosis as well as a negative endoscopy. Claire

Yeah I had negative biopsy but since I'd been off gluten 6 months its pretty worthless info. If someone were to have had a positive biopsy it would be labeled Celiac...otherwise its whatever you or your doctor decide to "name" it.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.
