    Today I had a second opinion/consultation with a different gastroenterologist. This was a very positive appointment. He was confused about the answers I got from the previous doctor's office. We started from the beginning, and he looked at the results from my endoscopy. He believes I have two different things going on. He believes my stomach pains are...

    If I don't get satisfactory answers at my appointment next week, I will probably get a second opinion.

    Thank you for the response. Yes, the doctor's office (my GP) said that I do not have it. I had the HLA-DA2&8, TTG IGA AB, Anti-Gliadin IgA and Endomysial IgA--all negative. They are saying gluten intolerance. The plan is to do a gluten free diet for 3 months then add things gradually, but I doubt I will go back to gluten. Every time I think about...

    So my test results came back negative. I do NOT have celiac disease. Aside from about a week and a half of eating gluten before my blood test, I have been gluten free for about a month.

How long is long enough to be back on gluten for the blood test, since I was only off of it for a week and a half?

    In March I had severe stomach pain (my only symptom), so much so that I ended up in ER. I had an endoscopy (EGD) a few weeks later. When I called for the results, the nurse said I had mild inflammation in my esophagus and stomach and that my duodenum was normal. She said it indicated gluten intolerance, but there was no damage to my villi. I told her I still...
