Well I decided to cancel my appointment at the Celiac center in Boston. I got a letter in the mail today basically telling me that they bill their appointments as outpatient hospital visits, and not as a dr visit. I called my insurance and I would have to pay a very large deductible and co-insurance on top of my usual copay. So my husband said really...after paying 1000 out of pocket for the Endo and now this..you know you feel better without gluten..so just go with out it.

So thats what Im going to do. Just go off Gluten and see how it goes. Everything came back negative anyway, I would just be repeating it all over again. I am IgA deficient tho and I swear thats why my original GI dr missed it all..but well see. I felt amazing the 3 weeks I was gluten-free and I hope it will work again.

Thanks everyone

By the way, if you are IgA deficient, the Enterolab tests will not work either...(those are some very sensitive tests for gluten intolerance, not celiac, and were developed for testing if patients with microscopic colitis were better off going gluten free)

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
