Will there be any future meetings? I have just been diagnosed and would appreciate the opportunity to meet with others and learn from their experiences.

The gluten-free cooking demonstration was repeated the past Saturday at the Whole Foods in Fairlakes. I don't have the specific dates but another is scheduled in October. The store website has a calendar of events.

Oops, well, actually there was a meeting yesterday in Arlington. Sorry, I didn't think to post it in this thread.

Dr. Gary Kaplan talked about celiac and treatment for low Vitamin D, magnesium, and thyroid hormones.

Dr. Kaplan had the talk filmed so it may be available on his website soon. There were about 60 or 70 people at the meeting.

If you join the Washington DC celiac group on Yahoo, they send out news and meeting plans etc. They also organize monthly celiac dinner outings. Susan Flinn is the lead for the Yahoo group. Definitely a good group to join for celiac news around the metro area.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
