    fair enough how long would you say i need to devote to a trial run to see whether my symptoms improve? if it doesn't help at all, i don't want to waste months or years of my life going gluten-free with no improvement... but i also don't want to miss a possible improvement because i stop short of giving my body enough time to adjust and improve...

    see, this is the problem, though!! i have NO symptoms of celiac. the bloating and/or gas i would get seem to be no more severe or frequent than my husband gets, or any other person would get on occasion. no diarrhea ever. i have had cramping twice that i can remember... ever. no pain. no food-symptom associations. my Hashimoto's and my gastroparesis...

    ravenwoodglass, you said my intestines are getting something they don't like. now that i've had a chance to look up all the terms in a medical dictionary, i pretty much understand what my biopsy results are saying... i'm inflamed all over and my cells are overproliferating in my stomach. my villi are fine, though. so is this indicative of a food allergy...

    so my celiac blood test came back negative for the tTG and the gliadin antibodies (my score for both was <3).... but my immunoglobulin A was sky high (613 with a ref range between 81 and 463) and my GI doctor (who didn't seem all that concerned with my high score and didn't seem like he knew too much about it to begin with) is ordering a full IG testing...

    hi lissa the symptoms you describe could be indicators of any number of GI conditions... IBS, crohn's, celiac, or many other food allergies. getting your celiac screening is a good idea and a helpful first step. i'd encourage you to affiliate yourself with a gastroenterologist as soon as possible. a GI specialist will be able to handle your concerns...

    good question! i used to drink soy milk and upon reading that it can have negative effects on the thyroid, i stopped and went to skim milk about 2 or 3 weeks ago. so... no, i really don't do soy products anymore. all my dairy foods are actual dairy and not soy versions. i don't eat tofu, i haven't had my soy protein shake in months at this point. i...

    well my celiac panel came up negative for antibodies and as it turns out, during my endoscopy last month my GI doctor did a biopsy and it was also negative. should i still be concerned? i have no symptoms, just the gastroparesis and the autoimmune thyroid problem. my doctor said he was 99% sure i did not have celiac disease based on the double negative...

    and to add.... most progressive doctors these days are wanting to keep the TSH below 2 or 3... so if your TSH falls in the "technical ok zone" of .5 to 5.5 but is on the higher end within that range.... it's probably not normal and you likely have mild hypothyroidism. pay special attention to your antibody levels... i have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and my...

    i have gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying that is usually associated with diabetes, which i DON'T have) and an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis that have both been recently diagnosed. given the autoimmune nature of my thyroid problems, i got tested for celiac disease last week and am awaiting the results tonight at my GI appt. based...
