So Confused!

So I did blood tests which were negative to gliadin IgA and tisse transglutaminase. I did entrolab stool test which showed slightly high IgA for gliadin but negative for transglut. I also am carrying one gene for celiac and one gene for gluten intolerance.

Had an endoscopy yesterday. I was told I had flattening of the folds of my duodenum which was "indicative of inflammation" and she did a biopsy for celiac (which I won't get for 2 weeks). She warned that the biopsy could be falsely negative because I had been off gluten for awhile (although I tried to eat gluten the day before the test).

So am I or aren't I? Can you have celiac without the tranglut being high? Can an intolerance that doesn't rise to the level of celiac cause fold flattening?

My head is spinning!

Since you were off gluten for a while, I think the bloodtest results would be skewed. The biopsy might show it, since you still have indications that were visible.

I hope you get answers soon!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
