Been Gluten Free For 2 Weeks Now Sudden Reaction.


Cobalt

Recommended Posts

Cobalt Newbie

Hi All

My Doctor has asked me to go gluten free for 2 weeks and then try some gluten to

help diagnoses.  I have been Gluten free for just over a week and the fog
in my head has cleared and my stomach feels great.  Suddenly today the fog
came down and I have had stomach ache and diarrhoea.  I have thought back
on what I have eaten in the last 24 hours and all I can identify as suspect is
a chutney (not sure what ingredients were in it) and a visit to Costa coffee, I
did have the Gluten free Chocolate brownie and a Mocha.  I am trying to
figure out if this is a gluten reaction and if so what caused it, does anyone
have ideas or advice.


Thanks.

If you're on a gluten-free diet, especially a trial diet, you should never eat something if you are "not sure what ingredients were in it".  Start with the chutney.

      Welcome to the forum, @Nstvns03! Immunoglobulin A Qn is not a test for celiac disease per se. It's what we commonly call "total IGA" and it is a test used to determine if there is IGA deficiency. If there is IGA deficiency, the individual IGA tests done to look for celiac disease are going to be artificially low and this can produce false negatives. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient. But the question needs to be asked, had you already been practicing a reduced gluten diet when the blood draw was done for these tests?

      I had celiac testing done and the only think in that test that was high was the immunoglobulin A Qn results was off the chart high at 419. Does this confirm celiac if everything else but that test was normal?

      Thank you for clarifying! Something to possibly consider as I continue on my “non-gluten” quest and if I do not improve, but being new to this whole realm and already overwhelmed and stressed, this would have pushed me over the edge right now. 🥹

      Thanks for the information, knitty kitty. It helps bring some clarity and reduces the confusion that misinformation such as is contained in this thread title introduces into the community. People new to the celiac experience are already struggling to wrap their minds around not being able to eat just wheat, barley and rye any longer. We don't need to unnecessarily add to the list on "no no" foods. And I saw where you added this same post to the thread on oats as well.

      Thank you for your reply. 56 years! Wow!  It seems we all suffer for many years before this diagnosis and I’ll stay hopeful that I can try more foods after healing. I have a very limited diet at present. Onwards and upwards 😊
