Got Results - Negative!

hi there

well i eventually got my results -six biopsies taken.no significant inflammation. mucosa with villi of normal size and architecture. no granulomata,no giadia. no evidence of celiac or malignancy. duodenal biopsy; within normal limits.

so ive not got celiac but i have got gastro-oesophageal reflux disease - not sure how i feel really. i was hoping for some answers!. anyway i did remember to ask for copy of results. mentioned abt my palm rash getting worse since reintroducing dairy and if the rash on my face could be caused by my vitamin e face cream( possibly wheat based) and reminded her of the food intolerance,s( that originally brought me to the docs in the first place) to my complete and utter shock she said she would refer me for allergy testing!!!! this put me off my stride and i completely forgot to ask for blood test results and for new tests to be done.although i expect they will be done when i have the allergy tests.

i also asked for the notes from the hospital when i was told i had scleritis- i wasnt told what it was so i never went back. just to check if it was a definite diagnosis or the doc was just surmising it could be that.

so got some meds for the reflux, but i dont really want to go an get them- id rather try to modify my diet - any suggestions anyone?? ta!

also been having probs with my teeth and now i think ive got yet another abcess, so another trip to dentist!!!

the other thing is - if my bloating is not celiac- its prob dairy .so now im faced with eatin it till i get my allergy testing done even though its gonna make my rashes worse. soz if it sounds like im moaning abt not havin celiac - just a bit miffed thats all. any imput welcome thanks...

My basic guidelines for GERD is as followed: no greasy, no rich, and no spicy. Sodas can be done depending on how tolerent you are.

Endoscopys are falling out as the gold standard. Try the gluten free diet and see if it makes this all go away.

hi there, thanks for your reply

iv,d been reading some of your posts coz id noticed you mentioned gerd in a few. odd thing is ,reflux wasnt one of the symptoms i complained abt to my doc as its one of the newest symptoms and id put it down to my age lol. as for sodas- im fine with diet coke , but anything else especially lemonade sets me off. ive noticed in mornin i get it abt an hour after breakfast and thats toast, sunflower margarine(dairy free) and coffee. so im guessing the coffee may have to go... oh yeah and chocolate- thats bad!!!! ( not for breakfast lol- just generally) ha!

I used to have stomache aches in the morning after my breakfast; I thought it was the coffee or sugary syrup on my waffles... turns out it was the waffles. I would stop with toast for breakfast if I was you. It could be non-celiac gluten intolerance (NCGI) or they missed the damaged parts in the biopsy.

Like shadowicewolf sugested, I would try the gluten-free diet for at least 3 months before you rule out gluten as a cause.

... My boys tested negative for celiac but 2/3 has seen their health improve after going gluten-free. Don't rule it out yet.

I really want to say, lol just to keep from crying. Celiac was ruled out for me also, stayed gluten free anyway because I felt better. Accidentally had some and ended up in ER from anaphylactic shock. So I headed the allergy direction to. On a positive note, you can avoid the the things that bother you and still have accurate skin allergy tests (it's really not as bad you will think). Now I'm at testing for a mast cell disorder (it's means you have allergic reaction to triggers, but are not allergic in the sense that allergy shots help) and have been placed on Zantac 300mg and Allegra 360mg a day. Hang in there, the answer is out there.

hi

i,d actually be glad to give up the toast- im absolutely fed up of it. i only started to eat it coz i was trying to up the wheat for the tests and id given up dairy (kinda) for a while, so that meant no cereal - although i cant think of a wheat free cereal. im a bit flummoxed as what to eat for breakfast as im veggie and not a big lover of eggs or fruit. a major overhaul of my diet is needed i think.!!!! its nice to hear your boys are feelin better on a gluten free diet - good luck. oh organic cornflakes should be ok - i,ll try them..

Every few days we make gluten-free pancakes. I'm lazy so I start with a mix but change it from there. For instance, the recipe calls for 1/4 oil, 1.5cups mix, 1cup milk. I use 1c mix, 1/2 to 1 cup of golden flax, 1/4 coconut oil, about 1.5 c coconut milk, 1/4 protein powder, bee pollen and cinnamon to taste (sometimes add cocoa). I try to "healthy it up" a bit. This would make left overs so we have frozen pancakes to toast or nuke the next day.

There are a few gluten-free cereals. Chex is a good one. There are other rice or hemp cereals that are in health food stores. Be careful with organic since that doesn't mean gluten-free. Evenstuff like Rice Krispies has wheat as a general rule.

If you like toast, Udi's is our favourite store bought bread; it's good as toast...not so good plain but the bagels are good untoasted.

Good luck to you! :)

I do gluten free bisquick for pancakes. I normally eat chex though.

Be careful with corn flakes, sometimes depending on the brand, they can use a barley sweetener I believe.

My celiac test was also negative. I did have allergy testing done, because I was already allergic to peanuts. I am allergic to wheat on the blood test and skin test. They did do Igg testing on me and I was allergic to alot of things, but the biggest were gliadin, gluten and wheat. I decided to go gluten free completely, it's been two years now and if I am glutened I can tell the next day (strangely it doesn't hit me right away) I was also diagnosed with gerd and IBS about 9 years ago. My heartburn only bothers me if I have bad seasonal allergies now.

I love chex and vans gluten free cereal. Sometimes I have a hershey bar with my cup of coffee in the morning and it is wonderful!!!

Good Luck

Sarah

thanks for all your replys

ive been food shopping today and decided im going to buy a few things each week until ive got a stock of gluten free foods i can rely on when i try goin gluten free. im gonna concentrate on the gluten free and not think about the dairy for now - sort out breakfast and lunch and then slowly over the next few weeks try a few recipes for tea. im no cook so god knows what they,ll taste like!!!!. think i,ll start with soup. haha!

im british, so im not sure if we get the brands you,ve mentioned, but we have holland and barrett- which is a wholefoods shop, so i,ll have a trip to that an see what i can find- and look in the recipe section on here. bought the organic cornflakes they were in the gluten free section in the supermarket - im guessing they should be ok - but i.ll check and hazelnut milk to try. oh and some fruit smoothies which i thought would be ok for breakfast- no additives at all -just blended fruit . im gonna google american brands and see if anywhere here sells them . not sure wot a hersey bar is but im thinking chocolate lol!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
