A tolerance for gluten?

Hi all, I am newly diagnosed and have a question for the community. So, I have always eaten a LOT of gluten. I don’t seem to have any severe gastrointestinal symptoms from consuming gluten and I was wondering if I should be concerned that if I am exposed to gluten in the future after not eating any for an extended period of time, I’ll have a severe reaction? On that same note, does sensitivity to gluten worsen over time or as one ages? What have your experiences been? Thanks!

Some people with celiac disease get more sensitive to it over time after they have fully eliminated it, but others don't. I think this can vary a lot from person to person. 

Ideally you'll avoid gluten going forward so you won't have to find out whether or not your tolerance to it decreases or increases, but probably the only way to determine that would be to see how things go in a year or more after getting accidental gluten, which can happen by accident.

      EMA Result

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated...

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive. I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy? Thanks for...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.
