GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy
I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet. -

It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy. -

Hi Colleen H, I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least 6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet. He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt. The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option. On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away. Good Luck and hope this helps.
