These are the tests the VA is doing?

Endomysial AB, IgA

Immunoglobulin A, QN

Tissue Transglutaminase IgA

Anti-Gliadin Profile

If the Endomysial test comes back negative does that negate the positive biopsy?

Since I can't edit 30 seconds after posting...the biopsy was a skin biopsy for Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

Since your biology is positive,  you need NO further testing! Commence gluten free.  From reading other of your posts, also low tyramine,  which is no fun either!  If you need help, try migraine sites.

Thanks...I was hoping a healed stomach could process the tyramine better.

Look into microbiome. Tyramine can be produced to excess in the small intestine if the bacteria is not balanced properly.

I've been trying since 2006 to fix my microbiome.  I knew something was off.  I was dx'd with SIBO by endoscopy.  But now that I know I have celiac, that explains why I never could get better, no matter what I did even water fasting which did help briefly but then I'd eat wheat again.

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

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

      I am monitored for this value of Vit D.  I kept going down so the Vit D had to be increased.

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well to entocort. I have a number of autoimmune conditions including systemic granuloma annulaire (a skin condition) which was treated with methotrexate. I was on a low dose of methotrexate (15 mg once a week with folic acid every day when not taking methotrexate). In 5 months my sigmoid colon ruptured. Pathology reports show that I had significant necrosis of my sigmoid bowel due to no known cause and a large hole in the bowel. My surgeons felt that the methotrexate may have caused the damage and rupture to my bowel (1 in a million chance). My question is has anyone experienced similar issues with methotrexate given that the integrity of our intestines may be compromised in celiac disease?

      Hello, I'm I crazy, nieve, or atomistic? I reached out to my former pcp of 25 years on the medical app today.Reading on the National Library of Medicine 75.6  physicians don't know celiac disease.To be fair he is primary and with the lack of knowledge, I did reach out because he was my Dr for 25 years.I do prefer his app than the one I currently have that was ignite of the disability celiac circus name chaser thanks to the one that  I currently have Since May 31, 2025 to present.

      @cristiana, I'm thinking the intensity of our response to the same amount of gluten can vary from time to time. Our bodies are a dynamic entity.
