    So gluten-free oats are tolerated by most celiacs, although around 9% also can't have any oats.

    Besides supplementation, are you getting regular exercise? You may also want to look into low carb or pleo diets, as they can help with weight loss.

    How much daily gluten were you eating before the endoscopy? It sounds like you were not eating enough, which can lead to false-negative results (although it sounds like you may still have a positive result). 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...

    If your symptoms improve without gluten then you likely have your answer. 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.

    Salicylic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, and it has been used for medicinal purposes. It is not classified as a vitamin. Vitamin B11, also known as salicylate, is a synthetic form of salicylic acid, but it is not considered essential in the human diet. The term "essential vitamin" typically refers to vitamins that are necessary for...

    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...

    @Joanne Palica, sunflower oil is considered to be gluten-free, and Apple Cinnamon Straws are marked "gluten-free" on their label, so perhaps you just got too much fiber at once, or are sensitive to another ingredient? The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very...

    Texas Pecan of Dallas TX is recalling 1 Lb and 8 oz products because it may contain an undeclared allergen.

    If you already have your answer, then why hurt your body further? Also, a formal diagnosis can lead to more expensive health and/or life insurance rates, not to mention that here in the USA it now seems to be one of the conditions listed under "Disabilities" in most job applications--so you technically need to disclose that to future employers--I can't think...

    I agree with @trents. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score...

    I agree, the biopsy result suggests that there are increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) present, which is a common finding in celiac disease. The partial villous blunting indicates that there is some damage to the villi, although they are not completely flattened. This combination of findings is consistent with early or mild celiac disease.

    In order to be tested for celiac disease you need to be eating gluten daily in the weeks leading up to your test (if you need a formal diagnosis). 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: ...

    I agree with @trents, and although some people with celiac disease have reported that their seizures went away after going gluten-free, and they were able to eventually stop taking medications for them, it would not be advisable to stop any medications for seizures unless your doctor recommends it. It would make sense to get a formal diagnosis for celiac...

    Overall, your genetic profile suggests that you may have an increased risk of celiac disease due to the presence of the HLA-DQA103 allele, which is a known genetic risk factor. However, the absence of specific alleles (such as HLA-DQB102, a part of the HLA-DQ2 haplotype) also plays a role in determining overall disease risk. It's essential to interpret these...

    Your gene results indicate a combination of DQ2.5 positive, DQ2.2 negative, and DQ8 positive. While it's less common to have this particular combination, it's not unheard of. The presence of DQ2.5 and DQ8 does increase the risk of celiac disease compared to the general population, as these genes are associated with an increased susceptibility to developing...

    It looks like the first tTg-IgA test was 2x the cutoff for celiac disease, and the second test was 3x the cutoff, so one might conclude that gluten is getting into his diet somehow, as this level normally goes down over time when someone with celiac disease is 100% gluten-free. In teenagers cheating on the diet can be common, as I found out with my daughter...

    He did not keep his lists up to date at all...they were more or less unchanged for years, even though the companies who make these drugs will tell you that their ingredients may change at any time. I have nothing against his rating system, or the work he did in the past, but am simply pointing out that maintaining an accurate list of ingredients used in drugs...
  24. Scott Adams
    Yes, it sounds like it would be considered to be gluten-free based on their procedures.

    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:
