    From what you've just posted I don't have enough info to be sure how to interpret your results. Normally 236 tTG would be high on most scales I've seen, but your results should say something like <100 normal....any change you can post an image of the results? Alternatively you should also ask your doctor of course.

    You may be able to find a lactose free version of your med here, by searching for it, then viewing its inactive ingredients: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ I also had H. Pylori at the time of my diagnosis, but don't recall having issues with the meds at the time. Hopefully you can get through this period. Probiotics may be helpful.

    All of the symptoms and issues you mention could possibly be related to undiagnosed celiac disease, and vomiting is definitely fairly common as you can see by this search on Celiac.com: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=vomiting&search_and_or=and Feel free to scroll through the over 900 results there, and you will find some that sound remarkably...

    I would only add that when it comes to the point where celiac disease has been diagnosed, then all bets are off when it comes to rotating gluten in your diet. I doubt I would have tested positive for celiac disease back then, and did not have any obvious symptoms when I ate wheat, other than my chronic nasal congestion and some odd rashes, including blepharitis...

    Has your doctor referred you for an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease? This is the usual next step in the diagnostic procedure. If so, you will need to keep eating gluten daily until that procedure is completed. If you don't want that procedure you could try a gluten-free diet to see if your symptoms go away, as your blood test result is pretty definitive...

    In this case it does mean the starch, so we updated this for clarity...thank you for pointing this out!

    The rumors about possible gluten in meat due to gluten that an animal might have been fed have never been backed up by any scientific evidence. I haven't seen a specific study on pork, however, here is one that was done for beef:

    There is no way to no for sure now, but at that time I was in college and essentially a glutenoholic! I pretty much ate it 2-3 meals a day, so the thought of skipping it even one day seemed impossible. Oh well...

    I agree, and for young people this test should always be included: Deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP IgA and IgG)

    Welcome to the forum @Headcase! Mono and diglycerides are usually made from corn, but in Barilla pasta they would be from a gluten-free source. It's certainly possible that there is an ingredient in it that you may have an issue with, perhaps corn, which is a common allergy/intolerance? Interesting that you gained weight on Barilla pasta rather than Tinkyada...

    I think my point here is that anyone who gets celiac disease later in life may look back and blame various illnesses or treatments for their bad luck, but so far I've seen no scientific research that links a prior giardia lamblia infection and treatment with an increased risk of celiac disease. I have seen studies that link certain viral infections, and antibiotic...

    If you have celiac disease, even a "bite" of something with gluten can cause your autoimmune reaction to continue, which will cause ongoing symptoms and risks.

    Joy Joy’s Bakery Lakewood, Washington is recalling Ube Spanish Bread, Ube Ensaymada, and Ube Roll because it may contain undeclared wheat. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. The recalled Ube Spanish Bread, Ube Ensaymada, and Ube Roll a...

    We've seen your scenario before, and traditionally the biopsy results have always been the gold standard. After all tests are done perhaps you should just try a gluten-free diet for a few months to see if your symptoms disappear?
  17. Scott Adams
    That definitely looks like a very high positive test result for celiac disease. Be sure to keep eating gluten normally until after the biopsy is completed. Do you have celiac disease symptoms? Many celiacs don't.
  18. Scott Adams
    I doubt your celiac disease, if it was properly diagnosed, would be triggered only by gluten crops where glycophytes was used on them. This would mean that you would be able to eat all organic wheat products without getting any reaction. If you have celiac disease, the reaction is due to the gluten.

    These articles are older, but still may be helpful. NCGS is still being mapped out in studies:

    Let us know how it turns out, and the biopsy results alone mean that a gluten-free diet is very likely in your future.

    When I was a teenager I was given daily "low dose" tetracycline for more than year to treat cystic acne! It definitely makes me wonder if it was a trigger.
  22. Scott Adams
    I'm not sure what the reference range for positive was in your case, and knowing that would be helpful. If your diet isn't 100% gluten-free, for example if you eat in restaurants, this could cause your levels to remain higher than normal. Some members here have reported high levels even after a year on a strict gluten-free diet, so it seems that...

    Whenever I eat out I take AN-PEP enzymes like GliadinX (a sponsor here), which have been shown in many studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. However, given your current poor condition eating out should be totally avoided until you can recover more. Eating out is best avoided, of course, but some people...

    I've not seen any studies that reveal the amount of time that gluten can stay in your system and still be detected, and I suspect that this would vary significantly from person to person. I know that some people with DH have outbreaks that can last for 2 weeks or more from very minor amounts of gluten. Also, foods high in iodine like dairy, seafood, and seaweed...

    Having stopped for a couple of days may not affect the result greatly, but the recommendation is that you should be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. I think if you just started eating it again for the few days before the test it should still be accurate. This article has more info:
