So My name is Shawn I'm 18 and today I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis And I am currently waiting to get a biopsy for Celiac, I had the blood test done and on there scale of 1-6 I had a 27. My doctor said there's no way I don't have it but I have to get the biopsy just to make sure. The crappy thing is I have to continue eating gluten until then.

But uh yeah Sup erybody!

Hi Teddy, welcome aboard! You have so much to look forward to, your life is going to be so much better. I hope your doc was able to get you in soon for the endoscopy.

Don't worry about the procedure itself, "it's a piece of cake."

The only thing I wish I could have again is the strawberry cream cheese croissant at a local french bakery. My DP used to drive 12 miles roundtrip to get me that when I didn't feel like eating anything else.

(But I don't miss it all that much, we still have good eats!)

I thought Celiac only limited from in-theater service with the military.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
