    Products can be both gluten-free AND made in a facility that produces wheat products. Why are you assuming that this product isn't gluten-free?

    No, small amounts of cross-contamination won't instantly cause villi damage. In fact the protocol for getting an endoscopy for celiac disease requires people to eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 2 weeks before the procedure, otherwise any damage done might not be detected. Small amounts of gluten on a daily basis, however, may lead to severe...

    It sounds like you're navigating a challenging and frustrating situation, and it's understandable why you'd seek clarity. Based on what you’ve described, it’s possible to have gluten sensitivity without the hallmark villous atrophy seen in celiac disease. This condition is often referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Unlike celiac disease, NC...

    Gluten-free oats can cause villous atrophy in people with celiac disease who are sensitive to oats (~10% of celiacs). While oats are naturally gluten-free and often safe for most individuals with celiac disease, a small percentage of people with the condition are sensitive to avenin, a protein found in oats that is structurally similar to gluten. For these...

    Hi @Soleihey, it looks like you are making great progress. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the...

    This article might be helpful--it would be a good idea for you to get tested for celiac disease BEFORE you go gluten-free.

    Yes, low IgA, even if it's just above the cut off at times, will affect the test results of any IgA tests. In your case it means that his scores would have likely been even higher if he had "normal" levels of IgA.

    One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.
  17. Scott Adams
    As the article mentions: EMA-IgA (endomysial antibodies IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: So the likelihood is very high he has celiac disease, and even if the biopsy results turn out negative, I would still consider a gluten-free diet.
  18. Scott Adams
    PS - I forgot to mention, was he eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to all blood tests? If not, this can cause lower than normal antibody results.
  19. Scott Adams
    It looks to me like he's IgA deficient, or borderline IgA deficient, which means that his TTg-IgA test results for celiac disease will be lower than they actually should be. His first celiac disease test was still highly positive, even though he is IgA deficient, and this is a strong indication that he has celiac disease. The fact that he's IgA deficient...

    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 issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

    Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

    I agree, is it possible that your child is IgA deficient, yet has positive results for their tTg-IgA result?
  23. Scott Adams
    Good news! Keep in mind that 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.

    It looks like they will now order the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody test, but verify this with your doctor.
