    Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

    Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last...

    Thank you @knitty kitty! Do you take these supplements only after gluten exposure or all the time? If it is the latter, then why do you need to do so since there shouldn't be an autoimmune response going on?

    For me, it's the insomnia which I cannot tolerate.

    I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average. Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination...

    Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

  29. Zuma888
    Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive...

    Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

  35. Zuma888
    Thank you for your response. You are right, this is not worth the damage to my thyroid since I know gluten is bad for me anyway. I stopped the challenge and did the IgA and tTG-IGA tests and am waiting for results, although I know it is likely they will be false negative anyway. I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they...
