"follow gluten free diet as much as possible" I think is the key here. Sounds like you are not consistent in eating gluten free. My input is that this needs to change to where you are totally gluten free on a consistent basis. Every lapse is a setback to healing. The goal should not be to eat a low gluten diet but to eat a gluten free diet. You need to get serious about this. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-gluten-free-diet-101-a-beginners-guide-to-going-gluten-free-r1640/

I agree with @trents  You'll have much better results with a no gluten diet. 

Also consider other sources that could possibly be sneaking in that may not be so obvious as eating it. I've had some surprise glutenenings by petting pets that eat gluten (they lick themselves and then you pet them, and then it's on your hands).

The doc that diagnosed me really emphasized that eyes, ears, nose, and throat all lead to the same place, so be aware of possible airborne gluten.  I got really sick feeding my neighbor's chickens (grains in the feed, the chickens kick it up and it's in the air, I breathe it in, nose drains down to stomach...). Also home projects got me, cutting plywood and demo of old plaster board that possibly have wheat in the glues that hold them together. 

It's not easy, but it does get easier.  You'll feel better with staying gluten free.

Gastrointestinal Beriberi symptoms are fatigue, nausea, stomach ache, abdominal pain, and unintended weight loss.  I know from personal experience.  My doctors weren't familiar with gastrointestinal beriberi.   It is caused by a deficiency in Vitamin B 1  Thiamine.   I took over-the-counter Thiamine supplements (Benfotiamine) and felt much better quickly.  Thiamine is water soluble (pee it away if not needed) and nontoxic.  It doesn't hurt to try.  A hot water bottle helps, too.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
