Colonoscopy +, But Never Had Blood Workup

I was diagnosed with celiac in 2001 by colonoscopy, and immediately went gluten free. Can a colonoscopy give a false positive? I've never had any confirming blood work. I'm wondering if I should gluten up and have a complete celiac blood panel. I ate at Burger King a few month ago with no celiac symptoms. I'm currently thinking lyme disease based on my current and long term(3+yr) symptoms.

Celiac can be diagnosed in three ways to date; 1) endoscopy/biopsy of the small intestines 2) positive blood work, and 3) positive dietary response.

I don't know what your doctor was looking for, but it wasn't Celiac. Celiac Disease can not be seen in the large intestines. Perhaps, you meant Endoscopy Exam.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
