Hi Melissa,

Some of us are more sensitive than others. I, myself, have an ulcer and IBS in addition to Celiac. The people in your support group who don't have symptoms are very lucky. I can't answer your question about how long it takes before our symptoms go away because I was only diagnosed last May and have the added medical issues. I just wanted to make sure there was an answer to your post so you'd know you're not alone. I know that someone with more experience and more answers will post a response soon. Just know I'm here if you need to vent.

I am brand new to this, but I am shocked about how intense my reactions are. A few months ago I didn't feel well at all, but I was getting through my days eating gluten and not ever connecting the dots of what was making me feel so bad.

Yesterday I got glutened after being gluten free for only 4 months and my head was spinning with all the things that were happening to me just from "trace" amounts of gluten. It was overwhelming and truly scarey.

Sometimes when I read through the forums I get nervous thinking that other intolerances are sure to follow. It feels like everyone has more than just one thing they have to watch. As far as I know I only have gluten and an allergy to pineapple to beware of. I hope it stays like that forever, but I am wary that Celiac Disease is just the doorway to other things I don't want.

Sorry to be a downer, but it's my very real concern.

Back at you girlfriend. we WILL get through this together. And we're lucky enough to have a whole community to support us. BTW, I just moved from NJ. If you feel like it PM me where you live. I'll be going back to visit this summer. Perhaps we could meet. Patti (jerseyangel), that goes for you, too!

      Positive biopsy

      I agree with @trents that the IgA you listed sounds like a total IgA, not celiac-specific, if 114 is normal. Were any other antibody tests run?

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Positive biopsy

      What you describe is seronegative villous atrophy (negative antibody tests but positive biopsy). It is uncommon in coeliac disease, and there are other causes, but the most common cause is coeliac disease. I would pursue this with your healthcare provider if possible. Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility...

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis.

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!
