A hida(Heptato Iminodiacetic Acid) scan or cholescintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging procedure that evaluates the health and function of the gallbladder and tracks the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine.

OP, it's not that uncommon for people with celiac/gluten intolerence to have problems with their gallbladders and liver.

Too true Roda, there is a website that lists 300 associated symtoms and they are both some of them.

true, true Roda. No gall bladder here. Liver enzymes off and liver swelling pre- DX--but back to normal now.

Oh i'm not screaming to get off the diet. I'm sticking to it for at least 3 months regardless of the celiac panel results. It's actually not a bad diet for me any how. I ate WAY too much pasta and breads before. Now I'm still eating gluten free alternatives but i eat them far less often and i eat a LOT more veggies and fruits than I used to which is defiantly good for me.

I'm eating fairly normal now, (still kinda small) but I'm not gaining all the weight back because it's not all starches and carbs like i used to eat.

I am finding some nice alternatives. BTW anyone in DFW Texas area, Aleda's Pizza in Southlake make really nice gluten-free pizza.

@Kareng - I haven't had an actual sit down with the gastro since they took the celiac panel and did the sonograms. Just phone calls from office assistants. I will not be leaving the office, when i do have one, without copies of everything. (I am an annoying and assertive patient)

Good for you! They will probably give you what you want just to get you out of there! ;)

I was just reading your posts, and saw that you were to have testing done in January. I was curious how that turned out for you. My daughter has been in pain for years and we are finally going to see a ped. gastro the end of the month, for the first time. We had already this week started her on the way to gluten free stuff.. but now I'm worried about testing coming back as a false negative. I don't even know what to expect on this upcoming visit really, since it will be our first time there. I just hope they are a good office, because it took me a couple weeks of looking to find a ped. gastro office, and they are at least 50 miles away. :(

HIDA scan shows my gallbladder operates at 100% efficiency... I could have sworn this was gallbladder.

Celiac panel came back negative. my result was IgA <2 U/mL with 0-3 being negative, 4-10 being weak positive, and >10 being positive.

Due to a job loss testing is on hold till i have insurance again.... but as long as I eat mild things tend to stay pretty calm these days and it is less of a pain and more of a mild pressure / annoyance.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
