Agreed. " Even a mild cross contamination had me in a brain fog, losing my place in a conversation, inability to concentrate- at all, even messed with my walking and sometimes my eye sight..." In my early days gluten free after my gluten challenge cross contamination would hit me neurologically in 20-30 minutes after the exposure. I would experience brain...- brain damage

@Viv Hesketh, at least in some places in England there are stipends for those officially diagnosed with celiac disease. But I think it may depend on postal codes. Perhaps our Brit moderator, Cristiana, can elaborate for you.- brain damage

I've had issues with depression for many years. My "new" PA treated me for 4 major symptoms of celiac for four years, and was asking if I had gone vegan after a blood test and was leaning toward B-12 injections when I happened to mention my stools were blonde. Finally the bulb lit up. Since being gluten free, I still have issues with depression. If...- brain damage

if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene. -

Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me -
Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac. I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

Great to have another UK person on the forum! Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
