Hi everybdody,

Thanks to all you for your time and help. I am wondering if going gluten free can become me intolerant in case I don't have Celiac. I don't know if there is some risk of going gluten free for a while??????. I went gluten free after my biopsia and got a lot better. The biopsia came back negative and my dr told me to try gluten. I did and everything turned back again. I don't know if it means I am intolerant or if been gluten free for a month affected me. Please, any help.

Thanks,

George.

Hi, I'm sorry, I have not been around lately so you may have already answered these questions.... I assume you had a Celiac panel blood work done? What were your results? You can be non-celiac gluten intolerant and suffer as much as if you were diagnosed with Celiac. Many doctors don't get this. Also, I imagine you could still have Celiac with a negative biopsy.

Good luck to you!

Susan

What you did was a challenge and your body gave you the answer as to whether or not you should eat gluten. You should let your doctor know what happened. A challenge can be part of the diagnostic process and an important one. If your body feels better without gluten that is, in my opinion, the most important thing.

I'd read in the book "Going Gluten-Free For Dummies", and MANY places online, that there is a strong chance of a false negative when it comes to tests for gluten intolerance. Furthermore, the longer you'd been going gluten-free before taking the test, the greater the chance of it turning up negative, especially if it's a gastroenterologist's test rather than, say, a genetic test or something else.

So I'd say you have Celiac/GI, but the test was wrong. I'd recommend avoiding gluten, period. If your doctor doesn't believe you, well, lots of people said they had the same problem.

Eating gluten free for a time does not make you gluten intolerant. You probably eat certain foods for holidays or special events that you don't eat at other times of the year. Do you react to those foods? No, because not eating them all year does not make you intolerant to them. If you are reacting to gluten you body is telling you, that you cannot tolerate it. Listen to you body, don't eat gluten.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
