The time period, including the length of time that symptoms might last, and the quantity of gluten necessary to trigger a reaction, can all vary greatly from person to person. There is not single answer that fits for everyone. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

Did they do DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for celiac disease? These tests should always be done in a celiac disease blood panel in children because their immune systems are not fully developed, and other tests may not be accurate. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results...

Celiac.com 09/23/2023 - For those with celiac disease, gluten-free baking isn't just about culinary preference; it's a vital aspect of maintaining their health and preventing the symptoms and damage associated with gluten consumption.... -
Is MSG Gluten-free and Safe for People with Celiac Disease?

Fear and burden of disease
Scott Adams replied to Kurlykaitlyn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together: -

Immunotherapy to Reverse Autoimmune Diseases
Scott Adams replied to Russ H's topic in Publications & Publicity
Our summary on this will be out on Monday. It sounds exciting, although the track record so far for autoimmune disease treatments has not been so great. Hopefully this will pan out! -
Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which c...

I agree with the Mayo Clinic's assessment that you shared, and that the next step should be a biopsy via an endoscopy. Be sure he keeps eating gluten daily until all tests for celiac disease are completed. Normally they want you to eat 2 slices worth of wheat bread a day for at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy. This article might be helpful...

Thryroid Medicene
Scott Adams replied to Yvonne Ayers Albers's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sorry but I don't know the names of various prescriptions for thyroid issues, but you can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication... -
This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

The product doesn't contain any gluten ingredients: https://www.zicam.com/our-products/elderberry/rapid-melts-citrus-elderberry and I'm not a fodmap expert, these two ingredients may be a concern: Mannitol: Mannitol is a sugar alcohol, and some people with FODMAP sensitivities may experience digestive discomfort when consuming sugar alcohols...

Untreated celiac disease and/or not being 100% gluten-free for a long enough time period can cause depression and other mental and neurological health issues. This is because when you are not eliminating 100% of gluten your celiac disease won't go into remission, and you may have ongoing nutrient deficiencies because your intestines can't absorb the key nutrients...

It's probably best to avoid any products that include "may contain wheat" in their ingredient labels. This usually means they are made in a facility or on the same machinery where wheat products are made. I recommend buying potatoes and making your own, or if you buy premade versions be sure it says "gluten-free," or at the very least, does not say "may contain...

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

The study referenced looks at 26 children, and many other larger studies have shown the overall accuracy I mentioned. The next step would likely be another biopsy, if that is what your doctor recommended. To do that you'd need to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.

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 may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. The percentage of individuals with celiac disease...
-
Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate avenin, which is the protein in oats, even if the oats are 100% gluten-free. 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...

This article addresses common myths around celiac disease, and refractory celiac disease is not very common, therefore it would not be included here. We do have a category of articles on that topic here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease: At this point your doctor should schedule an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease. If this test should end up negative I would still consider non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately...
