It Has To Be Celiac.

I love how I feel when I'm off gluten, it makes it so obvious it isn't good for me.

Were you gluten free or gluten light when those tests were run? If you were that would cause a false negative.

If you feel better gluten free then just stay gluten free and heal.

I had negative blood work, but positive biopsy. There's a 30% false negative in the blood tests.

Check some of the medical info sites for this and make a print out of it. Push for the tests you need.

That being said, if the Docs won't give you the tests you can still go gluten-free.

Raven, I had been gluten free for 4 days when the tests were run. But my doctor said that you needed to be off gluten for 2 weeks before test results were affected?

I guess that's the good thing about being affected by gluten - you don't need a doctor's opinion or approval to stay off it!

Well nothing else will happen until after my allergy testing, and the specialist for that has a waiting list of a couple of months. So I'm still gluten free :) I feel better this morning, less discouraged and glad I'm not still poisoning myself with gluten.

It's a good day!

In the end your response to the diet is what matters the most and it sounds like you are doing better. Hopefully you will have many more good days to come. If you have some ups and downs don't get discouraged.

      @trents I am really not sure lol. I had a doctor who quit with no notice from 2 different practices and I was her patient both times, I just remember her telling me to take it. I guess for the dysphasia or Barrettes Esophagus? I have been taking it for years

      @Charlie1946, what are you taking omeprazole for and how long have you been on it?

      Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I couldn’t find another discussion about it. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a couple of years ago after having been asymptomatic for celiac for decades. I ignored the celiac diagnosis because I had no issues, but I was ignorant to the long term damage. I am still asymptomatic, but after years of eating gluten I am now strictly gluten free. The osteoporosis has been improving after taking Fosamax the last couple of years. My question is…..has my body returned to normal bone production on its own now that it is not influenced by gluten? A new problem has surfaced. I have to stop taking Fosamax due to a vascular issue which requires me to take a daily aspirin. The aspirin mixed with Fosamax will increase the chance of internal bleeding and ulcers so I need to turn to Reclast, which I’m trying to avoid. I’m turning to you all to see if anyone knows if there is a chance that my body is back to normal bone production since it is not exposed to gluten. I’m going to ask my doctor if I can stop the Fosamax and take the aspirin until my bone scan next year. Any help is greatly appreciated!

      I was replying to Charlie1946's most recent post where she asked the question if Omeprazole was the right thing to take.
