    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.

    We corrected this recipe.

    If it makes you sick, it must be from the alcohol, rather than gluten, as it's gluten-free.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Celiac.com 11/02/2020 - Many people with celiac disease experience persistent symptoms despite adhering to the gluten-free diet. Different studies have assessed the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment for celiac disease. A...

    Wow, I did not realize this. I was in communication with her for years, and never understood why her home test kits didn't explode in popularity. Just found this: Open Original Shared Link

    To me, a non-doctor lay expert, it looks like you've got celiac disease. Thyroid issues are quite common in celiacs, and iron deficiency anemia is very common. The blood tests and biopsy seem to support this.

    No need to delete it...it could be helpful to someone at some point.

    It seems unlikely that it would have any gluten in it. Is there any possibility she could be sensitive to dairy, or one of the other ingredients in it?
  23. Scott Adams
    All Brach's candy should be considered NOT gluten–free! Please be careful, as I have seen Brach's candies included on gluten-free safe lists!
