Was I misdiagnosed?
celiacker replied to celiacker's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Scott! Yeah, it seems unlikely especially with the gene markers. I can't recall now how much gluten I was eating before that first negative test, but the antibody levels of 200 later that year certainly point to positive, leaving aside the biopsy. Thanks for your insight! -
Was I misdiagnosed?

Thank you so much @knitty kitty! I'm keen to dig into this more. I did a little research yesterday but didn't read about HLA DQ9, so that's very interesting! I put my raw data into a site called XCode I was able to see that I do have the high risk markers on DQ 2.2 and also IL 21. I suppose it was wishful thinking Appreciate your reply! -
Hi everybody, I had symptoms of celiac in 2008, received a negative blood test, but went ahead with an endoscopy which showed significant damage to my intestinal villi. My gastro in NYC got a second opinion from Peter Green at Columbia who said he thought it was likely celiac. So I went on a gluten-free diet and have felt much better since. But--and...

celiacker posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hello, I've been diagnosed with Celiac for about a year now. It's going well, to the degree that I'm leaving out most dairy, taking L-acidophilus eating a varied diet (thanks to the advice of a previous forum post about doing the latter). But I have one outstanding problem: After guzzling a bottle of (100% juice) fruit juice I always feel very tired:... -
ARCHIVED Does Stress Aggravate Your Digestion?
celiacker posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been diagnosed Celiac for about a year now. I'm still not getting the consistent relief I thought I would. I have to wonder whether it's stress related. When I do eat gluten, I have crazy uncontrollable gas and bloating for like 5 hours. This has only happened about 3 times in the past year. But when I don't eat gluten, I still have very irregular... -
ARCHIVED Still Bloating And Cramping After Glutten Free For 7 Weeks
celiacker replied to minnow's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Mindy, I was diagnosed with Celiac in April and also found I still had the SAME PROBLEMS! I stopped eating dairy -- though I sneak in trace amounts for the milk in my coffee and tea. It's made a huge difference, and I also added those enzymes, which I bought from Vitamin Shoppe (GNC also sells many kinds). I bought a Canadian kind that has several enzymes... -
A person I know, who is the person who clued me into the fact that I might have Celiac (and I do), claims that they have the condition, calling it "Celiac" and saying they've had it for years. But when I asked how they manage to avoid trace amounts of gluten in their diet, their response was this: "Oh, I've actually started eating things with gluten in...
