Wow, a forum where you can freely talk about your poop and not be thought of as a complete nutter!

Am not diagnosed as having celiacs and doubt that I do, I do however suspect a growing gluten intolerance characterised by gastric pain, indigestion, severe bloating and wind, constipation and all round misery as a result. I also have difficulty eating fats, this causes severe bloating and nausea, and can't eat too many eggs.

I'm off to see my GP this week to work out what is going on though I think I already know the answer. So thought I would get a head start and see how to go about changing my diet to bring about some comfort after I've been tested.

I'm from Australia, so G'Day!

Welcome. Do be aware that some tests for Celiacs require you to still be on the diet.

welcome to the forum, nice to see someone from Australia. I am thinking of visiting Australia next year. Do not have my plans worked out yet. But might be taking a vacation with my grown son.

(leaving the daughter in law & kiddies at home!!!)

Good Luck with the doctor's appointment. I hear they are pretty celaic savvy there.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      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.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
