Camera Pill To Look For Celiac Damage

Just wondering if anyone has been given the option of using the camera pill as a means of looking for intestional damage from Celiac Disease? I am thirty five with a neg biopsy and neg lab results, but have responded positively to the Gluten Free Diet since July 1, 2009. I also avoid dairy. I think the lab was neg because at the time of lab draw I was unable to eat and had just lost thirty pounds. I still have neuro issues and the muscle pain is overwhelming somedays. I was just curious if anyone had tried this test or even if it would be of any help. I feel I have been fighting Celiac for many years and all of these recent negative tests are so frustrating. Thanks in advance for your input. I need all the advice I can get at this point in my life. Today has not been a good day.):

Last December I had the pill camera done. Very simple test. It showed my damaged villi clearly. Started the Gluten Free diet and responded well after my learning curve. Good luck with your diagnosis.

      This older article makes me wonder about the GFCO and its protocols:

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      I’ve been using almond flour from nuts.com for over 10 years. I have dermatitis herpetiformis all over. The rash started about two months ago. I finally eliminated the almond flour, labeled certified gluten free, two weeks ago, and I think the dermatitis herpetiformis is finally healing. I am so bummed.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
