1 Year Test Results Back

Last week, I had my 1 year follow-up blood test, EGD and biopsy (ok, it's been a year and 3 months). I got the results last night, and the biopsy's were negative (my Dr. also biopsied my stomach), my villi look normal, and the blood test levels were good.

As I was hanging up, the nurse said to me, "be sure to stay on the diet, ok?" I had to chuckle.

So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel just about 100%, and have started to go to the gym and get in shape. I hope you are all taking care of yourself, and I am proof that the gluten-free diet does work.

      Gluten Transfer from Biodegradable Tableware: What a New Study Found and Why It Matters (+Video)

      Oh my......will the danger never end? It has seemed like no matter what we do or have done the odds were/are against us. Next they'll tell us that just looking at wheat will be dangerous. Oh well....hang in there.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
