herminia, Omeprazole may mask some of the symptoms of celiac disease but it will not prevent the damage being done to the villous lining of your small bowel that defines the disease. You seem not to be taking that very seriously. -

Such a confusing disease! I tested positive with both tg tests so I have been taking Omeprazole for years with good results, although for several months now am experiencing increased nausea and pain on a daily basis and have added ondansatron for "those" days. Low-grade pain in left abdominal quadrant is a daily constant, and doctors have not taken interest... -

@Scott Adams @knitty kitty @cristiana @trents Thank you everyone, I should add, I forgot to mention, I did have an upper endoscopy around the time and that came back all clear/perfectly fine , so with both of those I always ruled out celiac disease , especially considering sometimes I'm absolutely fine with gluten -

Something to thing about:- Coeliac Australia supported a study into Oat Toxicity in Coeliacs and found that oats triggered an immune response in eight percent of the 73 people who participated in the study. The study was published in the November 2024, Journal of Autoimmunity. -

Hello, @Deborah123, Which blood tests for Celiac did your son have? TTg IgA tests may throw false negatives in children because of immature immune systems. That's why a complete Celiac panel should be done which includes total IgA, tTg IgA, DGP IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG. Insufficient gluten consumption in the weeks prior to testing can result...

Such a confusing disease! I tested positive with both tg tests so I have been taking Omeprazole for years with good results, although for several months now am experiencing increased nausea and pain on a daily basis and have added ondansatron for "those" days. Low-grade pain in left abdominal quadrant is a daily constant, and doctors have not taken interest in that aspect. I do my best to stay away from gluten but it's difficult to enjoy simple meals like a refreshing sandwich with the gluten-free breads available. ( I was trying to eat a hot dog, but the Scharr bread was crumbling as I held it and gummy as I chewed.) Q: which bread has anyone found to be best for sandwiches and toast?

Hello, @Deborah123, Which blood tests for Celiac did your son have? TTg IgA tests may throw false negatives in children because of immature immune systems. That's why a complete Celiac panel should be done which includes total IgA, tTg IgA, DGP IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG. Insufficient gluten consumption in the weeks prior to testing can result in false negatives as well. Updated gluten challenge guidelines call for TEN grams of gluten per day (equivalent to five or six slices of bread or equivalent) for a minimum of two weeks prior to testing. Also, low iron levels and anemia can result in false negatives. Has your son's iron levels been checked? Vitamin D and thiamine levels should be checked as well. You may want to consider genetic testing for both you and your son, as celiac disease is genetic. Yes, your mother's instincts are correct. Keep pushing for more testing! Keep us posted on your progress!
