Hi Charlie and welcome to the forum!

Can you talk to your mother and ask her to start separating your food from your brother's food? Or maybe putting a mark on your food or putting it in special containers that look different?

Do you think your mother takes your celiac disease seriously? Does she understand how important it is for you to avoid gluten?

I am also a little confused by your statement of being afraid of consuming "too much gluten." Do you understand that being a celiac makes it necessary for you not to just consume less gluten but to totally eliminate it?

Welcome! I’m not sure how sensitive you are to gluten, but try not to worry too much because it won’t help you. Many celiacs make mistakes and get accidental contamination from time to time, but in the long run it’s very important for you to avoid it to stay healthy.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
