Is This Finally A Set Diagnosis?

A little background first,

A couple of months ago my Doctor suggested that I may have celiac disease. I went Gluten Free but at the same time had moved out of my home and started to feel better actually. I was so relieved that I could have finally have found what was making me ill all this time.

Fast forward 5 months later, I move back home and ALL of my symptoms return with a vengeance, even though I had been gluten-free for 6 months now. I was still gluten-free, so I was baffled at would could possibly be making me sick. Not only baffled, but frustrated and heart broken.

So I begin to do some detective work and I find a disgusting looking garden of Mold in parents AC unit, because I figured that whatever was making me sick had to be related to their home. I move out and symptoms improve, but not fully.

I go back to my doctor and get tested for Celiac's via a basic allergy panel, it came back negative, so I had no clue what else it could be.

I decide to do the A.L.C.A.T allergy test and behold! It comes back that I have a severe reaction to gluten! I stop eating gluten again, feeling somewhat better...

( Thank some kind of God! )

So my question to you, my gluten-free family, is that it? Seeing that I am reacting to Gluten based off my Allergy Panel results from A.L.C.A.T and that I do feel a difference when I avoid it, can I finally be sure that I have Celiac Disease?

Why would mold affect me so severely? I mean, mold is terrible as it is, but could I have such a strong reaction to it because of Celiacs or another Autoimmune problem?

If you feel good off gluten then that is a big sign that you shouldn't eat it. You may have a gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease. As for the mold thing, I don't know, but a lot of people get sick from mold.

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!
