Quinoa is gluten free. I did notice when I eat it, it does cause me to need to use the restroom. I believe that is because it is so nutritious that all systems are working properly.us

Quinoa is definitely gluten-free. I eat it with no difficulties. What form was it in, that is, how was it prepared?

I cooked it in chicken broth...maybe that is my answer

It could be something in the broth. If you purchased the grain whole, it should be rinsed thoroughly prior to cooking. It has a natural coating of saponins. Quinoa sold in North America is usually rinsed as part of the packaging process.

I have used water, wine, and gluten-free soy sauce for preparation. I haven't tried broth, but that might make an interesting variation (provided the broth is gluten-free).

The broth may have been the culprit. I just had to purge my cupboards of gluten-containing broths... it's worth checking.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
