10 years ago I was diagnosed w/ UC by two doctors. Was prescribed meds. Struggled a lot with many debilitating symptoms. Nine months ago discovered it was mis-diagnosed — instead, celiac’s disease. Latest colonoscopy? Perfect. No scarring. No polyps. No more problems.
We began this journey suspecting it was Coeliac.. as she was demonstrating many of the same symptoms. So gluten was one of the first things we eliminated. I can’t say that it had any effect. In fact, we continued to stay off of gluten once she began following the fodmap diet.
She was tested specifically for gluten, all negative including the genetic marker.
