    Feel free to share your test results here, but depending on which test(s), a positive result could make celiac disease very likely. 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...

    Have you been taking a good multi-vitamin & mineral formulation? Long term nutrient deficiencies can lead to gluten ataxia. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor. 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...

    On their website, at least for the Cherry Flavor Tablets, they show "corn starch," while the Original Flavor tablets show "May contain starch." https://www.gaviscon.com/products/tablets.html Their liquid versions look naturally gluten-free: https://www.gaviscon.com/products/liquid.html

    Were you eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test? If not, this can cause lower antibody levels, and possibly false negative results. It's unfortunate that they didn't do a Total IgA count, because if you have naturally low IgA it could lead to false negative test results. The good news is that you could get that test done...

    I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest tha...

    No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance...

    I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned...

    Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" ...

    Healing and regaining energy after a celiac diagnosis can be a frustratingly slow process, but you're not alone in feeling this way! Everyone's healing journey is different, and factors like age, how long celiac was undiagnosed, and the extent of intestinal damage can all play a role. In general, villi can begin to heal within a few weeks to months after...

    For clarification, a product can contain wheat and be gluten-free, as many products in Europe use Codex wheat starch with the gluten removed. In this case Ka’chava contain barley grass, which is gluten-free. Again, Celiac.com does not make any claims about this product, only the company can do that, which they have done repeatedly, as you can see on their s...

    Nature Made B-Complex (Costco) contains 2mg of B6, which is close to the RDA for it.

    I'm not a gastro doctor, but it seems reasonable to conclude that they would be able to spot any cancer-related issues during the endoscopy, at least in the areas that were checked.

    It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why...

    FWIW, I have a friend who has Crohn's Disease, and had surgery for it when he was younger, but doesn't want to take some of the prescription medications to help him deal with ongoing symptoms. I told him to look into hookworms treatment.
