Elevated isolated IgG gliadin and normal mucosa. Waiting on biopsy results

Does normal mucosa rule out celiac (or mostly rule out) or is that unrelated to celiac diagnosis?

Normal mucosa viewed visually during an endoscopy doesn’t rule out celiac.  Whether or not celiac damage can be seen during endoscopy depends on the magnification of the endoscope used.

They called and said negative and then I asked if everything was completely normal or did they find anything, and she said “some inflammation”.  Can you help me understand what this means? Does that mean I scored 0 on the Marsh scale? I tried calling them back but they are a pain to get a hold of. I did schedule a follow up though.

I would ask for a copy of the pathology report for the biopsy to see exactly what was said.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
