Enterolab Results Are In: Ncgs

Hi Everyone!

I'm having a great response to my gluten-free diet and of course my Enterolab results concur. I put the results in my signature.

I hadn't expected the casein intolerance, so as of today I'm casein-free as well. I don't feel 100% well yet, but I feel much better than before I started this journey. Maybe I'll improve faster without the casein? We shall see.

Thank you to everyone who posts in the pre-diagnosis part of this site... I read all the questions and answers with great interest these past few weeks. I'm convinced that I've made a healthy positive decision for me, even if I ignored the traditional route for celiac diagnosis.

I've decided to tell "regular" people that I have celiac instead of NCGS. NCGS is too much of a mouthful to say and celiac itself is hard enough to explain... so far everyone in my life has been very supportive. I hope it stays that way.

Onward and upward!

I'm glad you got some answers and that the diet has helped.

I'll be curious to see if casein free helps with other things that haven't cleared up. :)

It's also nice that you've got support.

And you never know in the years to come if they will say that DQ3 gene is also an indicator of celiac because right now they only recognise DQ2 and 8. I do the same thing, tell others my son is celiac. You know the diet is the same either way. Best wishes, it's great to be supported.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
    • trents
      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
