Welcome to the forum! Can you also share the cut off markers of each test results for their positive level? Each lab uses a different scale so it's hard to tell exactly where you fall based on just the numbers you shared. To answer your main question though, many celiacs are asymptomatic, or have symptoms that may seem unrelated, but go away once... -
It sounds like @Lindquist may have had an endoscopy for celiac disease, but the only way to be certain would be for you to confirm this. Also, to be screened for celiac disease using a blood test you would need to eat gluten daily, about two slices of bread, for at least 6-8 weeks. To me it certainly sounds like you may have undiagnosed celiac disease, especially...

Welcome to the forum. If you got a blood test for celiac disease feel free to share the results. Sometimes negative isn't fully negative (perhaps you had elevated antibody levels, or low serum IgA which can skew the results, and perhaps they didn't do a full celiac disease panel. For most people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity they must remain 1...

Welcome to the forum @Lindquist! This thread is a few years old, so the OP may not reply to your post. Are you also taking a general B complex that includes other B vitamins? You may have additional vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well. How long have you been gluten-free?

Brookside Dark Chocolates
Scott Adams replied to Trish01's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No worries, that came to mind because I recently ate a product from Costco call "Keto Krax" that are dark chocolate with almond. Sounds good right? I though I got some gluten contamination, but later realized that it contains an artificial sweetener, that is probably indigestible for many...at least it is for me, and it's called erythritol (ear-RITH-ri-tall... -

Hello @Dkorm, sorry to hear that you're not doing well on the gluten-free diet, and this is true for many celiacs. I recommend that you go through this article and consider some of the things presented in it:

That is definitely odd, but potato start is generally not brown, unless it was cooked too long. It's possible a chunk of potato starch fell into the vats that they fry the chips in, and then got packaged with a bag. It seems like a reasonable explanation from the manufacturer, but the only way to be sure would be to have it tested for gluten.

Weak positive tTg-IgA
Scott Adams replied to MadelineNY's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, it does look like your tTG results are high, which is positive for celiac disease. Be sure to keep eating gluten until all testing is completed. Your doctor may refer you for an endoscopy to confirm this, and if you go gluten-free before then those results could be tainted. -
Psyllium Improves the Quality and Shelf Life of Gluten-Free Bread
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Latest Research
This is simply a summary of a study, and you can view the source here: Open Original Shared Link Psyllium fiber husks are used in this study, which are gluten-free and most celiacs can tolerate, but, like most things, not all celiacs will be able to tolerate--for those avoid this ingredient. There may be other fiber that would do the same thing, but... -
False negative pregnancy tests or faint positive
Scott Adams replied to Rykroeh0306's topic in Doctors
I've not heard of a relationship with a weak positive pregnancy test and celiac disease before, but there is definitely a link between miscarriages and untreated celiac disease, and you can read our articles that mention this here: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=miscarriage&quick=1&type=cms_records2 -

Pain & Numbness on one side of body
Scott Adams replied to BNGed8's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The neurological manifestation of celiac disease (and gluten sensitivity) is not uncommon, so I am not sure why your doctor would indicate otherwise. Here are dozens of summaries of research on this: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/ -
Success Stories
Scott Adams replied to JuanElJefe's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome to the forum! This forum has many success stories, and hopefully others will chime in here, but compared to when I ate gluten my last ~25 years have been a success story! Of course there are some minor set backs from time to time, but even those have been lessened greatly due to proper supplementation and the use of AN-PEP enzymes to prevent accidental... -

It's probably too late for this, but you may want to bookmark this article in case it ever happens again. Also, some of the things listed in the article may not be appropriate for someone who is pregnant, just FYI:

No symptoms? Ate gluten
Scott Adams replied to Aaron 10113's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I agree with @cristiana, and your reactions to eating gluten can vary greatly depending on what's going on with your gut (perhaps it's fully healed and doing well now), and how often you get accidental gluten (less is best!). -
Celiac.com 08/17/2021 - Diagnosis for celiac disease is based on intestinal symptoms together with the evaluation of genetic (HLA-DQ2+ and/or DQ8+), serologic (anti-endomysium and antitransglutaminase autoantibodies), and histologic markers... -
