Negative Blood Test And Biopsy


glutengal

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am new to this forum and had a blood test and biopsy that can back negative for celiac, but have stomach pain, indigestion/gastritis, headaches and decided to go gluten free to see what might happen and the stomach pains and headaches have been gone after 2 months gluten-free but still some indigestion/gastritis so trying by suggestions from others to take aloe vera juice daily as well as probiotics to help the gastritis. Has anyone else gone gluten free with out celiac diagnosis who has had similar symptoms and has the gluten free diet helped? Has anyone else had problems with gastritis that has cleared up by going gluten free or used other remedies to help their gastritis? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am self dx'd. Most all my problems and symptoms have cleared up on the gluten-free diet. I don't know if I had gastritis but my dr said I had GERD. The only time I have any discomfirt now is if I eat too many alternate grains. I feel the best grain free. I eat only a little now.

If your still having problems, you may have another sensitivity like to dairy. Have you limited dairy? Many with celiac disease cannot tolerate dairy for the first few months. Some can add it back later some cannot.

I have eliminated most dairy products and when I do consume dairy it does not bother me, in other words the indigestion can occur on days when I have not consume any dairy or soy for that matter. Just not sure

if it may take time for the indigestion to clear up.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
