I was diagnosed with celiac disease 6 weeks ago (and have been gluten free for 6 weeks) and my symptoms (bloating primarily) have not gone away. I am wondering if it is taking longer because I had near total villous atrophy?
I also have done several blood and urine tests to try to determine if there are other issues besides celiac causing these symptoms...
Thank you both so much for your responses - both very helpful!! Much appreciated.
Do these biopsy results mean I have to be more careful about cross contamination, etc. than others? Or anything else I should know about them?
Also, I have a very high PTH value and low bone density and I am 26 years old. Should I expect these to improve on gluten...
Hello!
I tested positive for Celiac Disease via a blood test almost 2 weeks ago. My Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA was 64 U/mL (standard range is 0.0 - 6.9 U/mL) and was interpreted as positive.
I just had an endoscopy about 5 days ago and just received the results. Can someone please help me interpret these, primarily the severity of celiac...
