It's possible that your doctor wants you to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and if that is the case that could be why they don't want you to go gluten-free before that procedure is done. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends... -

Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist a... -

Newly Diagnosed
Hi! I went to the university here where they have the top doctors. They sent me for an intensive round of lab tests. Once celiac disease turned up, they sent for further lab tests to confirm it. Everything came back positive. The scoping and biopsy I have not had done yet. I thought my PCP was going to refer me to a GI dr to have it done but it didn’t happen. ... -

Thanks, Knitty Kitty! You seem so knowledgeable. I have followed your other posts. Actually, I have been supplementing with all of the B complex vitamins, as well as other recommended vitamins and minerals for over 50 years. My urine is bright yellow after dosing, so I am pretty sure that I am absorbing enough of these supplements to be therapeutic. ...- 1

Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist and an allergist for many years. The allergist has run many tests for my skin issues, but concluded I am not allergic to anything. I do occasionally get hives and am on daily medication to control the hives and other rashes or similar issues. At my last appt with allergist recently, I informed them of my new diagnosis of celiac disease. They said that it has nothing to do with my skin issues. They didn’t even put it in my chart. I know because I read the notes from the visit on the patient portal. However, your post has me second guessing my skin issues and possible connection to celiac disease.

Everything came back positive. The scoping and biopsy I have not had done yet. I thought my PCP was going to refer me to a GI dr to have it done but it didn’t happen. Which is why I came on here seeking advice.

When I was still working as a nurse, we used to give high dose thiamine supplements to alcoholics going through withdrawal. Alcoholism apparently caused a thiamine deficiency.
