This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including...

You say "Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect," but when was your last endoscopy/biopsy? Without doing a regular biopsy, there is no way for you to be sure that eating gluten has no effect on your health.

Is it gluten?
Scott Adams replied to Woodster991's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@Woodster991, were you eating lots of daily gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test for celiac disease? If not, then your results could be false negative. Many of your symptoms are identical to mine before I was diagnosed, with the exception of constipation. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a... -
Is it gluten?
Scott Adams replied to Woodster991's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. -
Welcome to the forum @Mantooth, your symptoms are very common in people with undiagnosed celiac disease (I had most of your symptoms as well), and this article talks about the various symptoms of celiac disease: When you were tested in the past for celiac disease were you on a gluten-free diet? In order to properly test anyone for celiac disease you...

You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

Working in a kitchen with gluten?
Scott Adams replied to PixieSticks's topic in Super Sensitive People
Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten... -
Daughter waiting for appointment
Scott Adams replied to jjiillee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,... -
In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always included a fair amount of rum. I just found these:

Active or close down?
Scott Adams replied to Goldenmom61's topic in DFW/Central Texas Celiacs's Events
Since the originator of the group no is no longer active here, I put you in charge...perhaps you can revive it? -
Refractory Celiac - doctor?
Scott Adams replied to Mmar's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes: -
Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet
Scott Adams replied to aperlo34's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Eye irritation can be so frustrating, especially when you're already adjusting to life with celiac disease. It’s great that you’ve seen an eye doctor and taken steps like using a heat mask and drops, which seem to have helped with the dryness. Sometimes, lingering irritation can be linked to inflammation as your body heals, or even to other factors like all...- 16 replies

Gluten-Free Foods
Scott Adams replied to Dana Gilcrease's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
PS - This article has more info: -
Thanks for sharing this! One of our long time authors share this one a few years back, but I haven't tried it:

Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant l...

Alprazolam gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Redward's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You may want to search the same site for other makers of the drug, if there are any. Many times generic manufacturers make the same drugs using different inactive ingredients. To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it...
