Welcome, Shellly!

Your test results indicate you could have either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). What led to your testing? What symptoms do you have? Do you have a specific question for us?

Sorry, Shelly. Now I see your question is in your thread title. Yes, I believe you would do well to seek a biopsy as your antibody test results are not unequivocally conclusive. If you intend to seek a biopsy, remain on regular amounts of gluten.

I have on and off stomach pain, nausea, and a lot of joint pain and now Osteoarthritis. I think the doctor initially ordered it for my iron deficiency. Not anemia.

      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.
