I Just Ate A Cookie

MY dr's nurse called tonight because I have been waiting for my results. Well she said my IGA for gluten was negative and Endomesio was negative. So from what she understands I do not have celiac. My dr is out until Friday...I was just frustrated and trying to bake cookies for my kids bake sale and I ate one...I feel really guilty now, because I haven't had gluten in 13 days...I even spent all day making gluten free beef stew and gluten-free biscuits and then I threw it all away with a Cookie....I am so confused, maybe there is something totally different wrong with me...I guess I will see how I feel tonight! Thanks for listening...

False negatives are far from uncommon. More important is if the diet helps with your issues. Don't sweat the one cookie but be aware it may be a day or two before you feel the effects. You may want to stick with the diet for a couple months, strictly and then do a challenge where you eat gluten 2 or 3 times a day for a week and see if you react. Sometimes our bodies can tell us what the tests cannot.

iga for what tho? Tissue Transglutamase? or Anti-gliadin?

also if you're Iga deficient- they would need to test for Igg

and yes- false positives are common- about 20%... esp. if you're iga deficient or if you havent been eating enough gluten prior to testing.

my ttg iga was VERY LOW.. and my antigliadin was negative.

there's a lot more to this puzzle than a blood test- i hope you can find some answers- and if all else fails- listen to your body- like many on here have.

good luck :)

Did you mean 'false negatives are common-'? False positives are virtually unheard of.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      Blood results

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
