So your tTg was negative, so likely no celiac disease, but given your symptoms you can’t rule out NCGS, so perhaps continue your gluten-free diet, as it seems to help. -
Unfortunately your doctor was incorrect about celiacs all being skinny, actually many can be obese because they overeat because they feel like they are starving due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Because your sister has it means your chance of having it is around 44%. Given your test results, which are incredibly high, and your family history...

Yes, I agree with @trents, and fully understand your decision not to do a gluten challenge.

Accidental Gluten
Scott Adams replied to CaseyH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Do you include oats in your diet? Unless they are gluten-free oats they could have trace amounts of gluten on them, and some celiacs can't tolerate oats at all, gluten-free or not. Xanthan gum, and other gums like guar gum, used often in gluten-free foods, and they can cause IBS-like symptoms in many people. -
Positive DH Biopsy-Desperate New Mother
Scott Adams replied to RebeccaLMoyer's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Welcome to the forum @janet.brunson. You are right, Dapsone can have some very serious side effects, so if you can avoid using it by keeping your diet 100% gluten-free, it's a better option. Another thing to consider, which is mentioned earlier in this thread, is that foods that are high in iodine can also trigger DH flareups, so many with it also avoid... -
Strange diagonal creases on forearm
Scott Adams replied to Simmons15's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the forum. I merged your topic with the older one, as this topic is still active. Some people here have discovered that holding their baby for so long using the same arm caused their lines. -
I know that @knitty kitty and @Posterboy have posted extensively on nutrient deficiencies, so perhaps they can chime in here, but with iron absorption I do believe that there are tests that can be done to detect certain issues with being able to absorb iron. Also, be sure to take high dose vitamin C, especially when eating foods high in iron like red meat...

I almost forgot about this thread, which I believe has more posts than any other on the forum!

You definitely need to eat a certain level of iodine, otherwise you could have serious health issues. Most people plenty of iodine in their foods, but for some people with DH it is important to not eat foods with high levels of iodine, like certain sea foods, sea weed, etc. Nobody should totally eliminate all iodine.

Does this sound like celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Skoit's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome! One other thing to consider is that gluten-free breads often use xanthan gum or other gums, and in some people, even though they are gluten-free, they can cause IBS symptoms: -
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.
