Hi everyone...i am new to the forum:)

I was wondering if anyone had to do a 72 hour stool test when testing for celiac? Can Having the stool test help in being diagnosed?

THank you

I was diagnosed with celiac disease by positive blood test and biopsy, which I understand to be the most reliable diagnostic tools available to date. There is also a gene blood test which is reliable, but most insurance companies will not cover it.

I'm not sure about the stool test to diagnose celiac disease, but learned at a Celiac conference last year that doctors recommend the blood test and biopsy.

Stool tests are not widely accepted in the medical community yet but I think it's good information. I think that are on to something. I was diagnosed through a blood test. I had the gene test done as well and nope insurance didn't cover <_<

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.

      symptoms.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same billion that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
