    My first thought is are you sure your diet has been 100% gluten-free? If you eat at restaurants, probably not...

    As far as I know, SIBO would not cause a single positive ttg IgA test, let alone several. One test was nearly double the marker for celiac disease--this is a very specific test that can't really be explained by very much else, especially given his symptoms AND biopsy findings.

    Joint pain is very common in those with celiac disease, and it likely results from inflammation triggered by the gluten. I'm sorry this happened, and no, it doesn't seem adequate. There are many cases of people who sue restaurants for things like this, but I would never recommend that route unless something regular and intentional was happening at the restaurant...

    I agree that reactions vary so much from person to person that you likely won't be able to find two people who are just alike. I've never heard that Hunts Ketchup contains any gluten...on their web site there are no gluten ingredients, and there are none of the top 8 allergens (milk, peanuts, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat...

    I used to have this issue, but I believe that once I finally got my vitamin & mineral supplementation figure out, it seemed to resolve.

    I don't envy you in your quest to go through a gluten challenge to get a diagnosis, but you only need to do it for 2 weeks before your endoscopy procedure, and it should be ~2 slices worth of wheat bread. Given your immediate terrible symptoms, and your family history, do you really need an official diagnosis? To me it sounds like you already have your...

    Unlike most autoimmune diseases celiac disease can usually be fully controlled by 100% avoidance of gluten, which is much easier said than done. I you can stay gluten-free, you should recover and not have any "flare ups." That said, there is definitely a sub-group of people who have ongoing symptoms, and they may need to do even more to recover:

    I agree, and it looks like you need to follow up your blood test with an endoscopy for confirmation. To me this still seems like a clearly positive result, especially if you have symptoms, which you didn't mention. Personally even if my endoscopy were in the normal range I'd still consider trying out a gluten-free diet, just based on your blood test results...

    That is an interesting issue, and I'm not sure if it would be tied to celiac disease or not. I did a search of our site for "dysphonia" and nobody else has reported this issue. Can I assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet? If so, for how long? Also, do you eat out? I'm wondering if you might be...

    All the symptoms you mention could be linked to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so I can understand why your doctor thinks that you may want to try going gluten-free. If you are gluten sensitive, then a gluten-free diet would likely relieve many, if not all of your symptoms. You mentioned having an endoscopy done that was negative,...
  11. Scott Adams
    I think it is correct to assume that you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and since you know you've got symptoms when you eat gluten there is likely no need to do another celiac panel, which may turn out negative anyway, as those with NCGS don't necessarily have elevated antibodies. There is a stool test done by Enterolab that can detect NCGS, and I can...

    I believe others have mentioned that getting vitamin B shots used to be more common, but now it seems harder to get a doctor to back up this approach. Have you had your vitamin levels checked?
  13. Scott Adams
    That's not too far from me...will have to try in next time I'm in the area!
  14. Scott Adams
    I find it very strange that his doctor appears to be ignoring multiple positive blood tests for celiac disease AND biopsy results which seem to confirm celiac disease. The varied symptoms you've described are very typical for celiac disease, so my only question is, why has your doctor not started him on a gluten-free diet at this point?! Symptom relief would...

    I've been using this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MK6D652

    According to their Web site, it is gluten-free. See the Specifications tab at: https://www.samsclub.com/p/members-mark-seasoned-rotisserie-chicken/prod861280

    It's possible that the ones used in their actual store Cafes are different. I would ask if you could see the ingredients before eating them again. I'm sure that the packaged ones I linked to should be safe.
  18. Scott Adams
    It is likely gluten-free, post its ingredients here for more insight.

    Welcome to the forum! Were you eating ~2 slices of wheat bread worth of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your blood tests? If not, you could end up with false-negative results. This would be the normal testing protocol for celiac disease blood tests.

    Were you eating ~2 slices worth of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your blood tests? If not, you could have lower numbers, or end up with false-negative results.

    I have had similar symptoms, and something that helped me was adding choline and benfotiamine (a form of B1) to my already large amount of supplementation. I also take a B-complex, vitamin D, and Citracal (Calcium, magnesium & zinc) supplements, but it was not until I added choline and benfotiamine that helped my memory and mental issues clear up.

    It’s great to run into such patient and helpful staff members when eating out!

    Welcome to the forum! Migraine headaches are definitely linked to untreated celiac disease and or gluten sensitivity, and this category has quite a few articles about this connection: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/ Since your sister has celiac disease and...

    The Mayo Clinic is not "big pharma," and certain unregulated supplements can have negative side effects, and many have been known to cause injury. It's important to mention that this particular one does have risks associated with it.
