    egs1707: I was writing the previous post in a hurry and really simplified the paragraph about the costs and benefits. So, I’d like to specify it because maybe it didn’t make any sense. I hope there are no economists here Alternative 1: Gluten-free diet Benefits: health, no unpleasant symptoms, no pain Costs: fewer meal/food options, social iso...

    Option no. 1 is the better one. In my opinion, the gluten free diet is not miserable. That said I’m not a vegetarian so I do realize I have more options in restaurants etc. and can enjoy a greater variety of foods. Thankfully I like cooking – I think this has saved me lol. Have you ever studied economics? I think this whole thing basically comes dow...

    Thank you. I agree. I’m glad we’ve been able to figure it out ourselves – I think we’re smart actually When I imagine that I would treat each of my symptoms separately with different kinds of medicine, it’s a scary idea. E.g.: chronic migraines – triptans for a lifetime, anxiety – antidepressants and benzodiazepines, thyroid issues – thyroid hor...

    Exactly. Another biopsy would just mean additional stress and even if you found out the villi are healing more slowly than you expected, there wouldn’t be much you could do. You said you’re in your early 30s, right? Me too. I think I’ve read the younger a person is, the faster the healing. So I think you’ll be ok. I haven’t had an endoscopy/biopsy my...

    This is an interesting question. I’d like to know the answer, too. In my opinion, the villi are healing and repairing. However, it’s not possible to say how much they have healed and repaired based on blood test results alone. For example, if tTG is ‘X’ now, it’s impossible to say that the villi damage is equal to Marsh grade ‘Y’ now. The only way to k...

    Ok, thank you.

    Ennis, I have a question. How many vials did they take? Just to get an idea.. I’d really like to get a test like this - the problem is I’m only 106 lbs now and would pass out if they took a lot of blood. 3 vials would be ok.. maybe 4. Thanks a lot

    Egs, I haven’t read the entire discussion, just skimmed through it, but you’re a vegetarian, right? Being both a celiac and a vegetarian is like the ‘opposite of mainstream’ diet-wise, so maybe that’s the reason many people are still unable to accept it / distance themselves. I’m wondering if other vegetarians / vegans would be more likely to understand ...

    I just want to add one more thing.. to give you an example.. There is no logic in this: The fact that 99 people out of 100 don’t have celiac doesn’t imply that 99 people out of 100 are fit and well. Almost everyone has some kind of a health issue. Imagine 100 people. Person no. 1 has diabetes. No. 2 has thyroiditis. No. 3 is infertile No....

    Maybe I can help with a female perspective. I’d never reject a guy just because he has celiac/NCGS. It’s not your fault. I don’t think it’s possible to prevent celiac/NCGS really. The thing that matters though is your attitude because you can control that. Please don’t take offense but I think you’re stuck in victim mentality. On an instinctive level, I am...
