Latent Celiac?

Lux

Hey guys,

So I got the results from my biopsy back yesterday - negative - so my doctor is saying that what I have is "latent" celiac disease, which means that I have the antibodies but no intestinal damage (yet). He says that this could still appear later on in life, and that I will need another biopsy in another ten years. My question is, how does this account for the bloating, C problems I have been experiencing (sans villi damage)? Also, does this mean I should continue with my gluten free diet (which I have been doing anyway), and, as I have noticed a few people are wondering on this board, does an official diet really matter?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! :-)

I think it's ridiculous for a doctor to tell a patient they have celiac, but it's dormant. More or less, that is what they are saying when they say "latent". I have a friend who son is sick, and his doctor's told her that he has latent celiac and to keep him as gluten free as possible for now. I think that is terrible. The child needs to be totally gluten free in my mind and the minds of many others.

I think if you are gluten free now, I would stay gluten free.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
