    Well, I would lean toward that with what you know so far. Besides, the antidote is the same for both celiac disease and NCGS, no more gluten.

    Unfortunately, cassava/tapioca are widely used in gluten-free baking products. and ready-made baked goods.

    Welcome to the forum, void_system! This might help: Gluten is a protein found only in wheat, barley and rye. Those three grains. Are you a vegetarian or vegan. You do not mention you are eating meat, eggs or dairy.

    I wouldn't worry about kidney failure when using NSAID's unless you are using heavy doses on a long term basis: "Heavy or long-term use of some of these medicines, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and higher dose aspirin, can cause chronic kidney disease known as chronic interstitial nephritis." https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/painmeds_analgesics ...

    welcome to the forum! Celiac disease does damage to the villi that line the small bowel. This area of the intestines is where we absorb the nutrition from our food. Consequently, people with celiac disease typically develop nutritional deficiencies. That you are not nutritionally compromised as you carry your baby is of utmost importance. To offset the...

    I doubt if your gluten binge caused gluten sensitivity. We are looking at a number of possibilities that would explain your symptoms when eating wheat-based products, including celiac disease, NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity), and SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) and possibly even an H.Pylori infection. The latter two would respond to any meal...

    Can you tolerate a temporary course of NSAIDs?

    Just ask those same questions to the GI doc on Friday. Gastritis would not require a biopsy. It can be visible during the scoping. Also, the metaplasia of the intestines is not specified as to which part of the 30' long intestinal track so it's anyone's guess as to what that is saying. It could be referring to mucosal damage in the small bowel which is the...

    I use Kuerig K-cup Green Mountain Breakfast Blend and have not had any noticeable gluten-type reactions to it. Have you considered oats, dairy, soy, corn or eggs as possible cross reactors? These are common cross-reactor foods for celiacs. They contain proteins similar to those found in gluten containing grains.

    Makes me wonder if some or all of the new discomfort phenomenon you are experiencing is related to the new filling and the trauma of that procedure. I know that some dental procedures I have done over the years the put spreaders in my mouth that traumatized my jaw bone joints for a time.

    Do you have online access to your test results?

    Are your liver enzymes high? AST, ALT, billirubin?

    Is it possible you are cross-reacting to some food protein that is similar to gluten. It is common for celiacs to develop other non-gluten food intolerances. Dairy, oats, eggs, corn and soy are common among them.

    Meow, it is also possible that you are reacting to something else besides gluten in Snickers bars. I now when I eat one of those my throat gets scratchy and I don't feel well. Not sure what is. I don't think it the peanuts because when I eat peanuts by themselves I don't have that same reaction. I'm wondering if it is soy lecithin or some emulsifying agent...

    There are only two kinds of tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease and you have had both of them run and they were both positive. So, if you begin a gluten-free diet now there is no risk for sabotaging further testing for celiac disease. So, I see no reason for you not to begin a gluten-free diet. If you have other things going on besides celiac disease...

    Your biopsy and your strongly positive tTG-IGA agree. What other evidence are you looking for? Are you questioning this because you are asymptomatic?

    Joint pain is a common symptom of celiac disease but for an episode of joint pain to last four months from one glutening experience is, I would think, not common. So, I'm wondering if you are getting small amounts of gluten on a more regular basis from say, cross contamination or a change in the formulation of one of the mainline food items you use than you...

    Food companies can and do change their product formulations. What was once gluten free will not necessarily remain that way indefinitely. This article is over two years old. The other thing to keep in mind is that the formulation may vary from one country to another or one region of the world to another.

    There is some controversy over the use of stool samples to diagnose celiac disease. The two types of tests for celiac disease that are widely recognized by conventional medicine practitioners are 1. Serum antibody tests and 2. an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining. Normally, the serum antibody tests is performed first and if the numbers are high...

    Welcome to the forum jackeylanamill! May we assume you have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? How was that done and how long ago? There is a real learning curve when it comes to totally avoiding gluten. Studies show that most people who believe they are eating gluten-free are actually eating lower gluten. I am attaching this article...
  21. trents
    Yes, it is a real thing for some people and I think the symptoms you describe are normal. Gluten has an addicting effect. Also, part of what you are experiencing could be due to the nutrient fortifications that go into wheat flour by law but are not found or mandated for the alternative flours used in gluten-free baking. So, it's really important to be supplementing...

    You might want to look into Choline supplementation. It's a more recent nutritional need discovery and studies have shown that most adults probably are deficient in it, even though they may meet the RMDA.
  23. trents
    Then it can be a challenge to get all the nutrients your body needs, even with supplements. I'm convinced there is a lot we don't know yet about nutrients and that is not totally covered by supplements. We are continually discovering new nutrients that were unknown years ago.

    Cosmicveganchick, I take it from your handle that you don't eat meat and animal protein. Am I correct on that assumption?
  25. trents
    I think many are recommending at least four biopsy samples be taken.
