One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.

Allergy Meds

Be sure to look at the inactive ingredients, as it might still be naturally gluten-free. -
Weird Symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Vozzyv's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away. -

Celiac Maybe a Possibility?
Scott Adams replied to More2Learn's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through an incredible journey with your health, and it’s no wonder you’re starting to piece things together and wonder about celiac disease.

Weird Symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Vozzyv's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors... -
This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work...

This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. ...

Let us know how things go. -
Soy has been on our safe list for nearly 30 years, it is gluten-free. Most soy sauces do include wheat, and should be avoided. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know...

Can't figure this out
Scott Adams replied to Captain173's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't think there is any way to be sure, as symptoms of SIBO and celiac disease can overlap each other. I was also treated with antibiotics around the time of my diagnosis, which also made me feel better, but in the end only a gluten-free diet did this for the long-term. -

Can't figure this out

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: -

Scott Adams replied to jjiillee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is fine to keep her gluten-free at this point, and she can do a gluten challenge if you decide to get a formal diagnosis and do the endoscopy. You did not mention the reference range for her test result, as they differ depending on the lab, but the fact that she had a positive test AND feel better when avoiding gluten, make it very likely that she has... -
I'm not sure which doctor you mean, but it's an interesting approach that might possibly help people with food sensitivities, and possibly even prevent some cases of celiac disease from developing. I still wonder what might have happened with me had I listened to my allergist many years back who wanted me to only eat wheat once per week.
