I had heard of microscopic colitis but didn’t know any more than that. I have cut out sugar, fats, any alcohol, carbonated anything and caffeine. I am not sure this is still necessary but it is habit now.
Check with your doctor about your colonoscopy results. If it is a microscopic colitis you should know so you can get some much needed help.
If you still eat less (or none) of the grains that Celiac patients can’t have a celiac panel wouldn’t give you correct results. The antibodies have to be present for a positive result, if you are watching gluten intake any results won’t be accurate. If you have done the “23 and me kit”, it would tell you if you have the hla dq 2 or 8 genes that have a play in Celiac Sprue.
Gluten free is a joke really, ‘gluten zero’ is the only way to help.
Gluten free snacks are so processed and terrible mostly. Even microscopic amounts of wheat, barley, rye and sometimes oats, kick your body into war against the small intestines. This happens with cross contamination in many GF foods.
If you can’t pick it or shoot it, don’t eat it. (A good rule when you are miserable). I never eat at any restaurants (including gf ones) and only eat organic anything.
When we get sick it is easy to blame it on different foods but that can be misleading. It is important to continue a good balanced diet.
If sweets and breads are needed, the only place I will order from is ‘Gluten Free Creations’ out of Phoenix AZ…they do it right and excellent as …..;)
‘Against the Grain’ pizza also does not mess with me and my family prefers them over gluten pizzas. ‘Edison Grainery’ out of California is superb also.
