    You can have both celiac disease (autoimmune disease) and a severe wheat allergy at the same time, which might fit your description. I recommend that your doctor run some allergy tests on you so that you can get the allergies diagnosed, along with getting an epi pen prescription.

    Brain fog in celiac disease is often linked to 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, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow...

    Definitely, and by sheer coincidence I was already working on an article on this topic which will be published in a couple of weeks. I'll see if I can include some of this...thanks!

    Anemia is a condition characterized by a decreased number of red blood cells or a decreased amount of hemoglobin in the blood, leading to a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. The MCHC level is just one of the parameters that can be assessed to determine if anemia is present. The typical blood test results that indicate anemia include: Low Hemoglobin...

    So most forums place strict limits on editing posts due to spamming activity--specifically link spam. If it is important to edit a post you can PM me with the link and the updated content.

    I would also like to mention that it's possible for the biopsy to be negative for celiac disease. In some cases, especially in children, there can be discrepancies between blood test results and the findings in an endoscopy/biopsy. It is possible for a child to have positive blood tests for celiac disease, such as elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTg...

    In the USA soy would need to be declared on the ingredient label at the end like this: Contains: Soy Soy is gluten-free and safe for most people with celiac disease, although some have additional food sensitivities like soy, corn, oats, etc.

    I just did the research on the article I shared and found that cow's milk protein is associated with other conditions, such as cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) or lactose intolerance, but these conditions typically do not cause villous atrophy similar to celiac disease. CMPA involves an immune reaction to proteins found in cow's milk, leading to various...

    It looks like your child has a positive tTg test result, and what may be a weak positive for the Deamidated Gliadin Abs. 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...

    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...

    I went through years of various testing before finally getting diagnosed, so I know how frustrating it can be. In your case you were screened for gluten sensitivity and the stool tests indicated that you did have issues with gluten. At the very least your doctor should have ordered a blood test at that time to verify those results. Looking ahead, at...

    I recall doing two weeks off of a food, for example soy, corn or casein/dairy, and then adding it back and recording how it goes with regard to any symptoms. Sometimes I had to do this more than once with a food group to be sure. As far as food sensitivity testing goes, the problem might be that a lot of sensitivities might be uncovered by testing, yet...

    also, "Better Than Gravy" is excellent and we got it at Costco during the Thanksgiving time period.

    Sure, and here are more genes associated with it, but only in a small minority of people: HLA-DQ2.5 Subtypes: Within the HLA-DQ2 category, specific subtypes such as HLA-DQ2.2 have been linked to celiac disease risk. HLA-DQ7: Although less common than HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, HLA-DQ7 has been identified as a potential risk factor. HLA-DQ4: While...

    If you ordered a gluten-free meal which then tested positive for gluten, it is very unlikely that the restaurant would charge you for the meal. I agree with @trents and even if they charged you for the meal, it would be better to not eat it anyway to avoid getting sick. I have a Nima sensor and gave up using it at restaurants for a few reasons, for example...

    Have you tried out a gluten-free diet to see if it helps with your Grover's disease symptoms? It may be a long shot, but gluten sensitivity has been associated with many skin conditions.
  18. Scott Adams
    If my understanding of your post is correct, it seems your doctor made some mistakes--especially if you went gluten-free before any blood test was taken for celiac disease. Some in the medical community reject Enterolab and their stool testing, but Dr. Fine of Enterolab has been doing this a long time--and he also does blood testing for celiac disease...

    Thanks for the tip, and I've added echinacea to this article:

    I agree with @trents, even if you showed them a paper with the diagnosis, they may still not be very supportive, however, 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:
