My roommate (F, late 20's, non-Celiac) and I (F, late 20's, very Celiac) are moving to DC this August 2024 for grad school and are looking for another Celiac roommate or two :-) My other roommate is not gluten-free but is very well-informed and dedicated to adhering an extremely clean kitchen free of cross contamination.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      If I feel better after eliminating gluten from my diet I am curious if I get diagnosed via blood test what would that tell me differently besides avoiding gluten? Also if I had to do an Endoscopy and took biopsy how would that help me besides to tell me avoid gluten strictly? Also I read about finding a dietician but again what would they tell me differently besides avoid gluten? Thanks I am new to this and not diagnosed officially yet but trying to get a better understanding. I read so much about gluten staying in your body for weeks, years after you eat it etc. Makes me afraid to go out to eat for dinner to avoid cross contamination or travel or if I avoid gluten and all of a sudden get sick b/c gluten was in my body months earlier.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @xxnonamexx! First, some terminology clarification. There is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS is also referred to simply as gluten sensitivity. You will also hear the term "gluten intolerance" which is a generic term for either. But in the real world, these terms often get used indiscriminately so there is confusion. With Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, damage is done to the villous lining of the small bowel when gluten is ingested. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same symptoms, especially in the GI category. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. So, it seems to me that you could have either celiac disease or NCGS and until you undergo a proper gluten challenge and get testing done you will have to live with the ambiguity.  Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" for those already having embarked on the gluten free diet but wanting to get tested have been revised in the past year or so. The current guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks in order to give valid test results. Personally, I think two weeks is too short and I would go for four weeks. About 8% of celiacs cannot tolerate gluten free oatmeal because the oat protein "avenin" is so similar to gluten. Adult celiacs who practice a consistently free gluten free diet can expect substantial healing of the SB villous lining in 1-3 years. We do hear anecdotal reports of people with healed villous linings being able to return to gluten consumption but they are just that - anecdotal. I do not endorse that approach.

      Okay, that's useful.  Yes, it sounds like you are out of range, which is suggestive of coeliac disease.  Your next step must be to see your GP and see what they suggest but for the time being, keep on eating gluten as s/he may want to order an endoscopy which is the next stage in the diagnosis journey.   If you have any questions meanwhile, do come back to us.
