I just wanted to spread some of my happy news, I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with rhumotoid (sp) arthiritis, and now, all my blood tests came back normal! I explained to my dr. about how I have been gluten free since October, and he said he has actually seen cases where the inflammation clears up, after being gluten free. I still have pain in joints, he said sometimes it takes a while, but, I am getting better! Whoo hoo!!

Fantastic, I had the same experience. They had me on all kinds of pills none of which did much good. The diet was the ticket for me and it sounds like it was for you too. I did some research after I had my genes tested a couple years after my celiac diagnosis and that was when I found that my celiac gene is considered an RA gene here in the states. It makes me feel so bad for those with RA that have 'IBS', which many do. The diet might help so many of them if doctors would just get the word out.

Thanks all! Ravenwoodglass, that is interesting about the gene testing. Im going to follow up with my doc next month, Im still getting scoped next week, but she mentioned we might still do gene testing. Im wondering what that will uncover..but, all in all, I love being gluten free!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
