Gluten Sensitivity Not Celiac

I'm gluten sensitive NOT Celiac. Do I need to be concerned with small amounts of gluten? Cross contamination?

What's the difference between being sensitive and having Celiac?

I heard a doctor speak about this issue recently. He said that people with non-Celiac gluten intolerance usually do have a threshold of tolerance, such that they can eat some gluten (unlike celiacs). BUT there's nothing to prevent these people from developing celiac in the future.

How do you know you're not celiac? Did you have just the blood test, or the biopsy too? False negatives on the blood test isn't uncommon, which is why the biopsy is needed. My understanding is that the biopsy can also show false negatives (even if the person has been eating gluten), but its quite rare.

I had tests done at EnteroLab and it showed negative for the Celiac gene.

I don't carry the celiac associated genes either. So some doctors would thus call me gluten intolerant. If you think that is less serious read my signature.

Wow, you've been through a lot. I have been really sick since 1/04 after a miscarriage. Tested positive for Epstein-Barr. I have had a hard time getting well and continue to have new symptoms. I found a great doctor that could tell what my issues were even though I had tested negative with blood tests.

I am greatful for her. She is literally saving my life.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
