    I’ve always been skeptical of widespread PPI use and making the available without a prescription. they may relieve some symptoms in many cases, but in the long term for, for most people anyway, they will cause more problems than they might solve.

    That makes more sense...yes, the tTg result looks fine. The IGA is done just to check if you are IGA deficient, and you are not.

    This butter substitute does not have gluten ingredients, and is olive oil based: https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960011930.html

    I also had H Pylori at the time of my diagnosis, and it was likely caused by the severe gut damage that I had at that time, although it's not exactly clear which came first, the H Pylori or celiac disease.

    Yes and no...those without any issues with gluten would likely not score 2.8, so there is still some evidence that your body is mounting an autoimmune response to gluten, but it may not be strong enough at this point to call it celiac disease. Also, were you eating at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 6-8 weeks before this test? If not, this...

    I think a bigger fear for most celiacs, myself included, is what happens if we end up in a full care facility, where things like food are out of our control?

    I'm not against private donations for such things, however, these are private companies who aren't necessarily going to share their profits with those who donate if the are successful. However, one way to help such companies would be to purchase and hold their stock, as most of these companies are public and their stock is traded on various stock exchanges...

    I think a SIBO test is a good idea, and I also avoid all substitute sugars as I've noticed they all also cause issues. Another thing to consider would be the various gums used on gluten-free products, especially xanthan gum--many people have IBS issues with this: This article may also help you:

    For most people getting tested is the best path to stay on a gluten-free diet, however, if you already know that you can't eat gluten, then going through a gluten challenge may not make sense for you, especially when you consider that the test doesn't work for non-celiac gluten sensitivity. If your celiac disease screened ended up with negative test results...

    You will be within a few hours after the procedure, and be sure to arrange for a ride home.

    Most of the therapies being developed will not allow a celiac to eat a regular gluten diet, and are geared towards dealing with cross-contamination issues, which is a real problem for most celiacs.
  12. Scott Adams
    I agree with everything @trents said, and only want to mention that the risks of developing many of the associated conditions that may come with undiagnosed celiac disease decrease greatly once you are on a 100% gluten-free diet.

    This article may be helpful, but I would consider myself a possible celiac if I were you, and, based on your results, your doctor should order an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis: Be sure to keep eating gluten daily for 2 weeks before an endoscopy, if your doctor orders this (which would be the normal next step).

    @DianeF hematocrit and red blood cell count are different than your hemoglobin levels, but you may want to ask your doctor if those levels were also checked. I am no expert on such issues, but I do have high hematocrit/red blood cell count and must do regular phlebotomies to treat it. High iron levels would not be a normal symptom of celiac disease...

    Is your hematocrit/red blood cell count high as well?

    We've had quite a few past posts on duodenitis, and you can find them here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=Duodenitis&quick=1 You may want to consider a celiac disease blood panel as well to see if you're getting any gluten in your diet, but this article may also be helpful:

    Welcome! We've had others post on urticaria, and a magnesium supplement could help: others have posted about this as well: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=urticaria&quick=1

    Congratulations @Jtopolsk, and welcome to the forum! Did you do any special diets, in addition to being gluten-free?
  20. Scott Adams
    Be sure to also have your doctor test you for diabetes, as frequent urination could be a symptom, and Type 1 diabetes among celiacs is quite common.
  21. Scott Adams
    Wow, it's great that you are making so many things on your own. I'm not sure if you found our site's many recipes, but many are excellent: /celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ This one is really good:

    A few of us here use GliadinX whenever we eat outside our homes, they are a sponsor here, and their AN-PEP based enzymes have been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. Of course it's best to just not eat out, however, for many people this isn't a realistic option. This may...

    I'm surprised that care facilities haven't begun focusing on the gluten-free niche to grow their businesses, and it seems that things haven't changed very much since we published this article:
