So let’s talk about that dreaded negative test result. You walk into the doctor’s office with a list of symptoms, maybe even a family history of celiac. They run a blood test or maybe even a biopsy. The result comes back negative. The doctor says, “Good news, you don’t have celiac disease.”

But deep down, you know something isn’t right. You still feel terrible when you eat bread, pasta, or pizza. You might even think, “Am I imagining this?” Spoiler: you’re not. Here are five reasons why your test could be negative while you’re still struggling.

If you’ve ever been sure you got glutened – only to find out it was something else – you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. 

Sometimes we do everything right, avoid all the gluten, and still end up with symptoms that feel just as bad. Today, I’m breaking down some of the most common non-gluten triggers that can mimic a gluten reaction. 

I’ll share how I spotted my own hidden triggers, what you can do to track yours, and how to start feeling better faster. And at the end, I’ve got a bonus tip – the unexpected trigger I only discovered last year that changed my day-to-day life.
