I Just Want To Scream

Test came back 'normal' even though IGG and IGA was in the normal/high range after a 7 week test (previously I was almost gluten free for a year). My ALP was normal/low.

To even speak to a specialist for a biopsy would take at least 6 months. There is no way I can continue with this challenge as depression has set in, my skin rashes on my legs looks horrible and my under eye circles have my customers asking me if they can grab me a coffee (dispite all the make up I have on).

 

I'm just going to go back to a gluten free diet as I felt 100% better before and maybe one day get a genetic test done.

 

Thanks for bearing with me folks.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the results you wanted to see! Just stick to the diet and feel better. Hopefully you can recover quickly from the wreckage. ((Hugs))

Hey, I'm officially diagnosed (3/2013) , but my husband is not. He's been gluten free for 12 years and refuses to do a challenge. Why bother? He knows that gluten makes him sick.

Get back to being gluten free and you'll feel so much better!

Hi Porcelina, just seen your post- I know very well how you feel... I also had a similar experience, after 9 weeks of challenge I had my endoscopy and the surgeon who performed it saw scallopings which to him suggested celiac- however, both my blood test and biopsies were negative. I also just like you don't consume huge amounts of breads and pasta, etc- not completely gluten free, but very much gluten light- always on low carb diets to control my weight for my arthritis, etc... I still don't know if I am celiac or not officially, but I am not doing another gluten challenge!! Will wait for better testing methods And will embrace this gluten free life ASAP in the meantime. BIG HUGS!!!

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Gluten migranes at night

      How did your doctor arrive at the gluten intolerance diagnosis? You may want to consider finding a different doctor, one who is more familiar with Celiac disease. To be properly tested you will be asked to undergo a gluten challenge. I'm attaching an article below. Also consider getting a DNA test to look for the genes needed for Celiac disease...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Thank you for that information. I had no idea about that. I have not been diagnosed with Celiac the Dr says I have gluten intolerance. I don't have any symptoms other than migranes from gluten and from coconut oil. I hate the medicine they gave me for migranes. It makes my blood pressure go up, is a diaretic so I am up all night then feel dehydrated the...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Welcome to Celiac.com, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake...
