:) Hi and welcome. Yes there is and it causes so many problems and illnesses that people just are not aware of. The gene that I have is a known gluten intolerant gene and is also a marker for celiac disease and autoimmune diseases like type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, scleroderma and lupus. The broad "umbrella" term is like saying "heart disease" and that broad description can mean mitral valve disease, arterial sclerosis, etc. A gluten intolerant person can have many, many symptoms and illness that are caused by the "poisoning" of gluten as you can see by my signature and many others on here. I was misdiagnosed and sick for so long that I was malabsorbing nutrients and getting damage to nerves, eyes, and other organs. You will see my story repeated by many others on here and we are all on the road to healing. Thank you for the link, it is one of the best that I have seen in describing the whole condition.

on the same lines, what if you dont present any of the genes for intolerancy? my dx took mutliple blood tests for panels to see my genes and my antibodies and so forth nothing was found abnormal finally he gave me the dx of gluten sensative, i asked if it was the same thing as intolerance or celiac and he says no they are way off. anyone what what that meens? do i reseave less damage as someone would with celiac disease? or is it just a laden form of intolerancy forming

I think your symptoms over the past few months sounded so much like what other people on here experienced-that you are definitely gluten intolerant. Whatever you call it, gluten is poison to you. Anyone who reads the book, Dangerous Grains will realize that gluten is nasty stuff and imho no one should eat it. edit--Also, all of the genes linked to gluten intolerance and celiac disease have not been identified.

While there is a difference between Celiac and Gluten Intolerance, they both require the exact same diet. So, why the lable difference? My blood tests indicate that I have a gluten intolerance, but they don't suggest that I have Celiac Specific Damage. That's a good thing. I figure, by going gluten-free now, I can avoid the "end stage" damage and save my intestines.

I have no idea if I have any of the genes or anything..... but I know from a brief trial when the word Celiac was first thrown at me (in regards to my daughter, not myself) that I felt MUCH better without it. I've had the blood tests, I'm scheduled to see a GI - but I'm done with Gluten. I want to feel better now... not in 6 weeks.

Anyhow, the people here are SO knowledgable....I'm so glad to have found this place!

This really is my point: I want to feel better sooner so I should start gluten-free diet now instead of continuing to eat gluten and wait for a couple of months of doctor and lab visits.

Moreover, what if, after a few months when the test results came in negative for celiac, then what? I will still go on the gluten-free diet to see for myself anyway.

If my conditions improve after gluten-free, I may then decide whether to comfirm celiac disease.

I have been to two doctors and undergone many lab tests already; otherwise, I would not go on gluten-free first.

If you think you will want more testing, you should do it prior to going gluten-free because you need to be eating gluten for the tests, except for something like Enterolab. Trust me, once you are off gluten, you will not want to go back on it for more testing if it's a problem for you!!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
