Yes I suffer from colitis too but never had a colon biopsy.
Usually in celiac people PTH tends to be high to balance the malabsorption, but in a very few cases celiac antibodies can destroy also parathyroid glands with hypoparathyroidism as a consequence. Its a rare consequence I have read on literature. But in my case I cant find these antibodies (in order to prove this). I can fix only 3 things: mgus, DQ8 and improvement of my health on gluten free diet. However hypoparathyroidism will last until I die. I must take calcium all life long
