I am not 100% sure what you are asking. But I will try answering your question as I understand it (and I may be wrong, if I am please correct me).

People can come here as guests, they are able to read everything, but are unable to post. If you aren't registered, you cannot actively participate.

If you are a registered user, but you don't want your name to pop up below the thread, saying that you are there and reading right now (and being listed in the list of active members on the forum home page), you click on being invisible (anonymous), meaning that nobody will see you are there, unless you make your presence known by posting.

Thanks so much for clearing this up for me. I don't really know what I'm doing. How do I post? I typed in info and questions for my daughter in college with questions. That was three days ago. I still have not had any responses. What is friends and does not having any messages mean that no one has responded to my posted comments or did I not post correctly. I'm getting frustrated. I look several times each day at my site and no one wants to talk to me. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Bri's Mom

Where did you post? I went and checked all your posts, and two of them were just quotes without any input from you, and this post is the third one. You must have done something wrong.

If you want to start a new thread, do this. First, go to forum home. Choose the forum you want to ask the question in (which depends on your topic), and go there. Click on 'new thread', and type your question into the window that pops up. When you're done, you can click on 'preview post', to check for mistakes and to make sure it is what you want to say. If you're happy with it, click on the submit button.

A moderator will check it out to make sure there is no inappropriate content in your thread, and that you posted in the right forum for what you are asking and pin it if approved (and possibly move it into a different forum if the topic isn't a good fit for the one you chose).

I hope this helps.

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
