As has been answered in your other posts, unless you’ve had additional serology testing (deamidated gliadin peptide antibodies, IgA and IgG) you did not have a full celiac antibody panel. Without these additional tests it is not correct to say you have negative serology.

I agree, and most people do not get the genetic tests done during the diagnostic process, and all of the genetic markers for celiac disease are not yet discovered, and recent ones that are related are not necessarily included in all current genetic tests for celiac disease.

@Matt13, hello,

Thought I would share some studies that might be of interest to you.

Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/

And...

Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/

And...

Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

I'm seronegative, but have two genes for Celiac.  Diabetes, anemia and Thiamine deficiency can each affect our ability to produce antibodies, hence seronegative.

Hope this helps!

Thank You all for responses! 👍Maybe IBS is also involved because of stress...

Still struggling, doctors says it is possible IBS because of stress... i am currently on GFD for 6months but i think i have made few mistakes along the way...but my main symptoms are bloating and distension/pain... nothing else. I see that other people here on forum as well have alot of symptoms when they are on GFD...but i dont know how long does it take to heal so you dont have any symptoms...? How are u?

@Matt13,

A lot of newbies simply change out their gluten containing foods for gluten free versions.  

Gluten free facsimile foods are not required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing products.  So, you need to buy your own vitamins and minerals now.  IBS, as well as Celiac Disease, can affect absorption of nutrients. 

Gluten free facsimile foods are not really nutritious.  They have a lot of saturated plant fats, carbohydrates, and lots of insoluble fiber.  Bacteria in our gut, our microbiome, loves insoluble fiber because you can't digest it, but they can, and they do, releasing gas as an end product, which leads to bloating and inflammation.  

If you change your diet, you change your microbiome.  If you cut out carbohydrates, excess fiber, those processed foods, and irritating foods like beans, dairy, nightshades, and grains, then those carbohydrate-loving, gas-producing bacteria will die off, and you will deflate.  

I followed a Paleo diet (The Autoimmune Protocol Diet) when  I was having bloating and gas.  I ate just meat and veggies, and within three weeks I deflated and felt so much better.  After three weeks, I started adding in other foods, allowing time for my microbiome to adjust.  I recommend Dr. Sarah Ballantyne's book The Paleo Approach.  Not an advertisement, it just worked for me.  I also took vitamins and minerals.  I took a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins,  Benfotiamine Vitamin B 1 and Pyridoxine Vitamin B6 (help heal the digestive system along with magnesium), Vitamin D (helps regulate inflammation), zinc and Omega Threes (healthy fats for brain function).  

It's a big adjustment to make when one is not feeling well, but it's definitely worth the effort to feel better.  

You'll be okay.  Keep learning.

Our son who has Celiac had the bloating, distension and pain.  The gastro told him to take Prilosec.  When he stopped after the 14 day course, it came roaring back.  He went to a different gastro and was advised that is problem was not enough stomach acid, which the Prilosec made worse.  He takes Betaine HCL at each meal.  It took a while to calibrate the correct dose, but now he has no issues with gas, bloating, acid reflux etc.  He was also put on B1 (Thiamine) and Zinc Carnosine.  Next month he will begin weaning off the Betain HCL as hopefully, his gut has begun producing acid once again.  Those PPI's shut down acid production.

@DebJ14, 

That's great that the second doctor took your son off the Ppi!  We need Thiamine and Niacin Vitamin B 3 to make stomach acid.  Is your son taking a B  Complex in addition?  A B Complex will contain Niacin and Pyridoxine B 6.  Pyridoxine is needed to make Diamine Oxidase, DAO, another digestive enzyme our bodies make that helps lower histamine (also available in supplements).  A magnesium supplement helps make essential enzymes with Thiamine.  

So glad your son is improving!  Keep us posted on his progress!

Similar issue for me. I sip a little apple cider vinegar before meals with protein.

      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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

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

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
