My One Year Follow-up Test Results

Hey friends! Just thought I would share... I got back the results from my 1 yearish follow-up biopsy etc. The biopsy and blood work (Celiac panel and liver enzymes etc) are normal! :D So good news there... My question is for any of you who have had a follow-up biopsy. The biopsy itself if normal, there is no scalloping or mosaic pattern upon viewing the SI, however, it is still flat and has lost the folds. My GI said it may always be flat. Anyone else here anything about this? It wouldn't totally surprise me, as I have had Celiac for many many years...possibly my entire life. Thanks !

OH, ps--I plan to get my food intolerances tested again at some point. I will post that info as it may interest some of you... I am treating it as a sort-of experiment in leaky-gut theory :)

She could have "them" in moderation... ? Do you mean gluten - in moderation? Just curious. :)

How can she have gluten in moderation? I thought that if you had celiac, it never went away. Does she really have celiac or just gluten intollerance? I'm new to this, so if there is hope out there that I can once again enjoy my baked goods (normal baked goods that actually taste good!) that would make me so happy! :D

That's very, very cool Jen - you give me hope for when I have my follow-up biopsy. If I were you I'd just call the doc and have them reiterate what it meant...but sounds like you're doing terrific!

If you have Celiac, the gluten-free diet is for LIFE. Regardless of if you have no symptoms or lots of symptoms when you consume gluten, you need to avoid it for life. No IF'S, AND'S, or BUT'S about it, even if there are no symptoms when you consume gluten after being gluten-free for a while, you are still doing damage to your insides. Cheating increases your risk of intestinal lymphomas and other autoimmune disorders. Anyone that believes that they can have some every once in a while is decieving themselves. When you have Celiac, the only cure is strict adherence to the gluten-free diet for life. Period.

Wow--was surprised to see this thread up again :) Dionnek--as Nisla says, gluten-free is gluten-free for life if you are a Celiac--you won't be able to eat the conventional baked goodies again. However, there are some wonderful gluten-free ones out there! I made gluten-free/cf chocolate chip cookies with the tollhouse recipe that are great!

BTW--I wrote my contact at the Chicago celiac disease Center about my question over recovering intestinal folds... She confirmed that it is unlikely I will ever gain them back, but that the biopsy is still be negative/normal even so. That also makes sense since I have had celiac disease for so long, and am older. Does make me think that a slight absorptive disadvantage will continue b/c of it though...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
