Well, I am happy to say that I just got the results from my endoscopy and blood tests. I have been gluten-free for almost one year and the doctor said I am completely healed!!!! I was SO excited. All this research/work paid off. My blood tests were all negative for celiac also! So, I am just letting you all know that it is very possible. I go out to eat all the time and never have any problems. I had a really hard time coping with the change in the beginning, but now I can sit with my friends while they are eating pizza and not care. If anyone is having problems on finding things to eat ,or what to do when they go out, definitely let me know. I would be happy to share any info. I have with anyone. Just email me! :P

Dear Jaimek, would you mind my asking if you had done an endoscopy with your initial diagnosis, and all the blood tests? If you did, how much damage had the first endoscopy shown? I'm in the 6th month of trying to do this, and getting discouraged, but your post is giving me hope. thanks, dreamhouses

I was diagnosed by an edoscopy and blood tests, both of which were positive for celiac. My doctor did not give me the exact outcome of the tests but he told me that my villi were completely flat and extremely damaged. There is hope! Don't give up. I have never cheated (intentionally that is), had a couple accidents but that is it. I am extremely careful with everything. Let me know if you have any other questions! :D

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.

      Hey there, You mentioned that current guidelines recommend to eat the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread for several weeks. Is it ok to do less for a longer period of time, for example 2 slices for 6 weeks? Also, does this recommendation apply to blood tests as well as the biopsy, or do they each have different timelines? Thanks in advance!

      Okay, so the term was being used loosely and informally, then.
