Hi all, I am new to this site and am still trying to figure things out. I was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago and am still trying to get it under control. I have a few questions but I will ask in some other posts.

A sunny California Merry Christmas to all. I am going to the GI doctor for follow up next Wednesday. I was diagnosed with DH in Sept this year, with a positive biopsy. Since then, my first bloodwork showed an IgG of 179. I was just tested again after being 3 months gluten free and my IgG is down to 107. I know the range should be less than 9. My IgA is 24. I just had all the xrays done this week (UGI & small bowel). My concern is, why would I need the biopsy done of my intestines, when I have the positive biopsy of DH and all of the bloodwork shows Celiac? I just want to get some opinions from you before I speak with my doctor about this.

By the way, I felt really bad for several days when I went gluten free. Severe stomach cramps, stayed in bed all day, etc. Is this normal?

Thanks so much for any advice or input, since I am so new with this disease.

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin for Men and woman 50+ Natures made multivitamin for her as it gives the right amount needed for both men and women as the mens has too much. For Probiotics ALign came out on top the 5x and the one for bloating. Knitty Kitty provided me good supplement brands as well.

      Hi all: I have had Celiac for 47 years. I have not seen much info on the following, and 3 of these  affect me. In case this info helps someone else, I offer the following: Gluten-like proteins is a topic I want to share, as they have added bad reactions to my Celiac condition.  Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and inflammation causing a feeling of being very warm to hot. The following are considered  Gluten-Mimicking Proteins: Corn (Zein protein) (this causes inflammation with me). Millet Panicin protein) Sorghum (Kafirin protein).  Potato (Patatin protein, is NOT considered a Gluten-Mimic, nor is Oats (Avenin) but they do cause reactions in some Celiac people... I eat potato and I vomit, and get diarrhea. gluten-free Oats causes me to have Nausea, and Corn causes me  Inflammation.  I hope this helps someone.  Wishing the very best to all.   Florence.

      I have been diagnosed with Refractory Celiac disease Type 2. Which is quite a shock because my Gastroenterologist has been performing gastroscopy & colonoscopy's - 4 in 2025 & a gastroscopy on the 20/3/26 and they didnot tell me how bad my Celiacs disease is and has been. It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.

      Im very big on nateral remedies and just read that my go to herb is a no no and was wondering if factual or fiction. I read on Google, I know don't read or take to heart, however it stated that Echinacea isn't good for those with compromise autoimmune because it can cause inflammation. Has anyone else heard of this?Ive been battling sibo so wondering if any connection though haven't been religious on my vitamins these last several months because of testing ect.Sibo medications im allergic,the last few prescribed. Gi  dr dropped me but took me back.Im frustrated too but its the autoimmune part .
