Negative Biopsy

Well, they called with my results today and they said there were no signs of celiac. I asked them to send me a copy of the report so I can overlook it myself. They did find gastritis, inflammation in my esophagus, and a hiatial hernia. This doesn't really surprise me given the fact that when I eat gluten I get indigestion and stomach issues. I'm not sure how many biopsies they ended up taking so I'm not sure if the test is even conclusive for celiac. But, looks like I have no signs of celiac.

Given the fact that I have major issues when I eat gluten, something is obviously bothering my insides according to the endoscopy results :P, I have two copies of DQ8, and pretty much all of my issues resolve on a gluten free diet...I'm officially diagnosing myself with non celiac gluten intolerance :)

I've only been gluten free for almost a week now and I already have pretty much zero gas, my stomach cramps have lessened quit a bit, my brain feels clearer, and I already have improved energy. Given the fact that I was gluten free for about a year before doing a 3 month gluten challenge I think my body will probably bounce back much quicker this time around.

I hope you bounce back quickly. Sounds like your body is telling you being gluten free is the right thing.

You must be relieved to know you don't have Celiac! Good for you that you realize you have NCGS and will continue gluten free. That is exactly what I plan to do, regardless of my biopsy outcome. I will just be happy to know I don't have celiac, but having DQ2.5 marker and the symptoms I have, and knowing gluten-free makes me feel so much better, as soon as the biopsy is done, I'm gluten free. No more poison for me! Congrats to you salexander421! :)

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
