I think your spelling might be wrong: Do you mean an increased number of intra-epithelial lymphocytes? That is just a clinical finding of celiac, Marsh Level One.

The drugs (someone correct me if I'm wrong) are prescribed to calm your intestinal symptoms and are given to those with other diagnoses like Crohns, ulcerative colitis etc. You shouldn't need the drugs after you go gluten-free and your intestines heal a bit. Others may have more comments. Welcome!

I have been on Entocort for the last 2 years. Every time I try to go off it I am back to square one. I do follow a strict celiacs diet. The Dr. at Mayo said that I would be on it the rest of my life but would be able to get down to tow tablets a day. The Dr. also has me open the tablets twice a day and chew the grandulars.

Bearly, I hope you get better.

Minnowjoy, I don't think you'll have to be on the drugs forever. Most celiacs are ok after going gluten free, but I guess that depends on your level of damage and if you have any other conditions. Be sure to ask questions about the diet, as the learning curve is steep. This is a good place to get good info.

Hi Laura,

I think that is right. I had no idea how to spell it. I did ask alot of questions at the dr.............but seem to forget and everything just kind of ran together. I do have a meeting July 3 with a dietician who specializes in Celiac Disease so I am loking forward to that!!

Thanks again for your help!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Janet McAlpin! Using the gluten-free label doesn't mean there is 0 gluten in a product. It means there is <20ppm of gluten according to FDA standards. So, it is not surprising that there is some gluten in this product. What is the sensitivity of the ELISA test you are using? And the NIMA device has a reputation for giving erratic results.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all, I have been using Elisa tests to slowly go through many ingredients in my kitchen to confirm they are gluten-free. Today, after eating Bob's Red Mill TVP, I didn't feel great. I decided to test it and the result found gluten. I am going to test all the Bob's Red Mill products I use regularly with the Elisa tests. I have found them to be quite accurate. I also use NIMA and can't wait for them to be back! I'll keep you posted! Janet

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/
