:huh: Enterolab results back today..I was below the upper limit on everything meaning that I have no direct evidence of active gluten sensitivity and no evidence of gluten-induced auto-immune reaction BUT it showed that I have one of the main genes that predisposes to gluten-sensitivity and celiac sprue ( HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0202 and HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0301 and the serological equivalent is HLA-DQ 2,3 (subtype 2,7)......

So can I eat gluten or NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really not trying to be stupid and I am sorry if I should know the answer...but I have now been gluten-free for about 2 weeks and have only noticed vert minimal improvement...I have migraines, sarcodisis of the skin, constant gas and bloating, joint pain and fatigue. Help!

Thanks to all that reply...please do so quickly if you can. I need answers.

You could be iga deficient, that is why you are not postive in antibodies.

Can you post all of your scores for us?

Deb,

You don't have an active intolerance so you could continue eating gluten if you want to......or maybe just go gluten light. With the celiac gene you may or may not become active at some point. My husband tested negative through enterolab too but he has 2 celiac genes so he went gluten free with the rest of us.

Do you eat soy? That could cause some problems as well.

Other things you may want to look into is metals, lyme, viruses, parasites. Foods could be behind your symptoms though.

The only thing I could suggest if you're up to it is an elmination diet with detailed journaling to try and pinpoint foods that are problems for you. Another thing would be IgG ELISA testing. They aren't always accurate though.

Thanks so much !!! Makes a bit more sense to me now. I think I will try the elimination diet...like you suggested.

Have good night.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
