    I've looked at his site before, and looked again. Nothing new there, and he cites a handful of older studies, some of which have a very small numbers of participants. The vast majority of celiacs can eat corn without issues, but some celiacs may need to exclude it and other grains. The problem I have with his claim is that he ties it to GMO corn without offering...

    Let us know how it turns out! Also, the results may not rule out non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and you can ask your doctors about that possibility.

    Yes, if you were gluten-free for 6 weeks prior to this test it can lead to a false negative test. You need to eat gluten daily for 4-6 weeks before a blood test, and at least 2 weeks prior to a biopsy, for the results to be accurate.

    Welcome to the forum! When you listed the ranges, were those the normal range? Meaning that above those would be considered the high ranges? I ask because different labs have different ways of showing their results. If you can clarify this it would be great.

    My celiac abdominal pain was usually in my lower right side. Sometimes it could feel like it was a dull ache throughout my gut, but the most intense was the lower-right pain.

    The villi in celiacs have been shown in study after study to recover after excluding gluten found in wheat, rye and barley, but while patients did eat corn. The gluten in corn (zein) is not considered by any major celiac researchers or celiac organization to be toxic or unsafe for those with celiac disease. Of course there are some people who have a corn...

    Perhaps get the skin biopsy first and see what the results are, then consider doing the endoscope if there are still questions? Both tests are not a big deal.

    Yes, for the biopsy they typically take small pieces of tissue samples from very specific areas, prepare them a specific way, then examine them under a microscope using the Marsh criteria. If you also had low iron, vitamin d, and magnesium I would be surprised if they didn't find damage, but this possibility would not rule out gluten sensitivity. The damage...

    If possible, please get the actual blood test results and share them here. This is because your results might be just under the cut off for celiac disease, but that certainly would not rule out gluten sensitivity, for which they currently cannot screen. Many with gluten sensitivity have elevated antibody tests, yet doctors tell them "good news, you're not...

    I agree with Jan here, IF you are only looking at your test results, which are not definitive. However, when you include the original poster's statement of "I'm now finally on a gluten-free diet and it has been working wonders for me," along with the test results, it looks, at the very least, like gluten sensitivity. The treatment for celiac disease and gluten...

    Did you get a blood test done before your scope? That would be the normal route when exploring celiac disease. If so, please share your blood test results here. Also, after all is said and done, most people fall into the gluten sensitive category (~10-15% of the population), rather than the celiac disease category (~1%). At the very least it sounds...

    If it has been that long I would contact them, as they should have the results by now. Did you get blood tests done for celiac disease? If so, please share your results. It would be unusual for a doctor to do only the biopsy for celiac disease, but not the blood tests. Also, in the UK it is my understanding that many cases of celiac disease are currently...

    I honestly wish that there could be a simple double blind scientific study done on the claim that distilled alcohols made with gluten cause symptoms in celiacs. It would be an easy study to conduct, but would require funding.
  17. Scott Adams
    We corrected this recipe.
  18. Scott Adams
    If it makes you sick, it must be from the alcohol, rather than gluten, as it's gluten-free.
  19. Scott Adams
    The relief of symptoms on a gluten-free diet would be the ultimate confirmation, but technically you're supposed to wait until all tests are completed. I am not sure what further tests they would want to do at this point, but you may want to wait until they give you the green light to go gluten-free.
  20. Scott Adams
    No, people with celiac disease should never cheat on their gluten-free diets. It would be better for you to cheat on your keto diet and stay gluten-free, than to cheat on your gluten-free diet, as it will trigger a cascading autoimmune reaction to begin again.

    PS - Can I assume that your doctor will interpret these test results for you, and diagnose you? Please let us know.
  24. Scott Adams
    Science evolves and this is a pretty solid study that does indicated that the better approach might be earlier introduction to gluten. It will be interesting to see if future research backs this up.
  25. Scott Adams
    Can you tell me what lab you used for your fecal anti tissue Transglutaminase? Normally it would be a blood test. What did the lab who took your tests say? The typical next step after a positive tTg test would be to get referred to a gastroenterologist for an endoscope, but I'm not sure if that can happen with the fecal test.
