I had bloodwork done on 1/4/06 and went gluten-free the same day. The bloodwork came back negative, but by that time I was feeling so much better, I didn't care.

We want to get pregnant soon and my husband wasn't really comfortable with me not having an official diagnosis. I went to my family doctor today - I told him my symptoms when I eat gluten (by mistake) and all my other symptoms that went away when I stopped eating gluten. He said I clearly can't eat gluten regardless of the blood test. He said that blood tests can show you are positive, but they can't determine if you don't have it.

I asked him if I needed to go to any other doctors or have any other tests done and he said no.

I was just nice to have someone validate what I have been going through. I was so worried all day that he was going to call me crazy, and he didn't at all.

For anyone in Tampa, Dr. Gelia knows what he is talking about.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
