Help plz with results. celiac?

It’s great that you’ve been to the doctor and are exploring all possibilities! However, it’s important to note that celiac disease testing, including antibody tests and endoscopy, should ideally be done while you're still consuming gluten. The fact that you don’t have diarrhea doesn't rule out celiac disease, as not everyone with celiac has diarrhea — symptoms vary widely, and some people may only experience issues like fatigue or nutrient deficiencies.

While elevated gliadin antibodies (like the ones you mentioned) are not specific to celiac, they can still be a potential marker. An endoscopy with a biopsy of the small intestine remains the gold standard for diagnosis, especially if there's suspicion after antibody testing. It might be a good idea to discuss this further with your doctor if you continue to have concerns.

Also, be mindful that IBS and celiac disease can sometimes have overlapping symptoms.

I have a situation where if I take symbiosis alflorex or a medicine with inulin and butyric acid, there is no diarrhea, it even disappeared for half a year. At the same time, I eat gluten normally. But when I don’t take these medicines, I have diarrhea every 14 days, if I eat gluten often. Diarrhea disappeared for half a year after I drank alflorex for three months and I ate gluten, then I got nervous and diarrhea came back. my doctor said that the diarrhea from celiac disease would not be stopped by the medications I wrote about above. I was told that I am most ibs. What do you think, is this true?

[Scott Adams]

I don't believe your doctor can make a blanket statement like "the diarrhea from celiac disease would not be stopped by the medications," because everyone is different. Many celiacs don't have any symptoms at all, including diarrhea. If you have celiac disease you should be 100% gluten-free, even if medications might hide your symptoms, and this is because other damage will be done, and you will have many health risks going forward which can be avoided with the diet.

Have you looked into other symptoms that eating gluten can cause if you have Celiac Disease and continue to eat gluten?  Many are way more dangerous and misdiagnosis can lead to unessary suffering by treating the symptoms of that disease instead of the cause Celiac.  Diarrhea is not the only symptom.  But taking out a Gall bladder because of Celiac Disease malapsortion only to have those symptoms reappear? Foolish.

Eating yogurt will have the same effect as Aflorex and cheaper.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what kind of gallbladder removal is?
I rarely have bloating, mostly in the morning. And it passes quickly. I was told that I most likely have IBS. Also sheep's stool, but every day and not solid

My blood tests are good, calprotectin is good. The only thing is that antibodies to gliadin G are elevated, but I was told that they are excluded from diagnostic standards. I have 100 of these antibodies.

Even if Gliadin G is excluded from your diagnostic standards, you still have symptoms caused by eating gluten.  Perhaps you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS).

    NCGS is diagnosed by first eliminating Celiac Disease as the cause of your symptoms.  A Negative diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Then showing symptom improvement while on a trial gluten free diet.  Next show the return of symptoms with return of glutin to your diet.

Even though the correlation between AGA IgG and NCGS condition turned out to be statistically significant in most studies, AGA IgG does not seem to be an adequately strong marker for its lacking diagnostic accuracy. However it can partly help the NCGS diagnosis, integrated in the overall management of the patient. Therefore, in the presence of clinical symptoms that suggest NCGS, IgG AGA positivity, together with negative anti-tTG, EMA, and anti-deamidated-gliadin-peptides (DGP) antibodies, NCGS diagnosis might be suspected.   Anti-gliadin antibodies in non-celiac gluten sensitivity
