Thanks for pointing this study out, and it does reveal what I and many others on this forum have known for a long time. Many doctors don't even know that their patients need to be eating gluten regularly before you can test for celiac disease, so imagine how many people are being told that they don't have celiac disease because of their false-negative results...

I hope that you're diet is 100% gluten-free, and if not, that is the first place to start. Also, do you work out or get regular exercise? I find that when I don't exercise enough I get fatigued easily. Another thing to consider would be additional food intolerance issues, like casein/dairy.

Yes, this seems to be a common issue reported here, which can also be related to untreated celiac disease or gluten intolerance. My daughter has non-celiac gluten sensitivity and her primary symptom before going gluten-free was the feeling that food was stuck in her throat, which caused her to have issues swallowing.

That is a sad story indeed, but I just want to point out that dementia or Alzheimer's can affect even those who are gluten-free. In your mother's case, given that she apparently had untreated gluten sensitivity it certainly could have been a factor in her decline and poor quality of life.

I recall getting stomach issues when I had bad allergies that clogged up my nose. It was cased by the nasal drainage. Perhaps when you have a cold you have the same issue, which can case stomach upset?

It matters because this forum is about helping people make good health choices, and not bad ones. We regularly tell people with celiac disease who eat gluten and cheat on their diets that they should not do this because it could lead to all types of health problems and health risks, including cancer. Is this unkind? Likewise, if it's unkind to point...

Welcome to the forum! Frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes, which is a condition that is also associated with celiac disease (rates of Type 1 diabetes are much higher among celiacs and vice versa), so be sure to ask your doctor to check you for this. The lung issues you describe would not be a typical symptom of celiac disease, and given...

To me it looks like the most important test was positive: Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Ab, even though it is a "weak positive" it is still positive. If your doctor is willing to re-run the blood panel it may make sense to do it again, and you need to keep eating about 2 sliced of wheat bread daily for at least 6-8 weeks before the test, and at least 2 weeks...

It's possible that what you had was your first DH outbreak, and if that is what it was it means that you were to keep eating gluten it is very likely that you will have more outbreaks. The locations and intensity of outbreaks can vary quite a bit from person to person. For example I would get it on a single spot on the back of my thumb, at least until the...

It definitely sounds like your doctor needs to read up on the protocols for celiac disease screening. Can you share your blood test results with us, along with the cut off levels for a positive test? I wonder if a second blood test is necessary, but be sure to keep eating gluten until all testing is finished, otherwise you may end up with false negative results...

Importance of Diagnosis?
Scott Adams replied to Valerie2021's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe you're doctor is correct, and a formal diagnosis may not be necessary (especially if you live in such a remote area). If you've already seen a connection with your rashes and gluten, and they go away when you are gluten-free, then staying gluten-free should be your primary goal. This can be difficult and this article may be helpful: -
Is my daughter really a celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Jenny melton's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Her doctors are correct and the first thing that you should look at is whether there might be hidden sources of gluten in her diet, and I agree, she may have other food intolerance issues and casein/dairy is a very common one. This article may be helpful:
