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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
