Food Triggers

I've made an appointment for a blood panel test for gluten, also for my iron levels which is around 2 weeks as I went a week without gluten.

For now I'm back on gluten, and I noticed I got severe pains, bloated, diarrhoea from eating a Guzman and gomez burrito on 2 occasions, and also today I started getting a headache and sharp pains again from eating takeaway food which was satay chicken and rice.

This just confuses me to a great deal. I eat wholegrain wheat for breakfast which has wheat, barley... But most of the time I don't get any symptoms, even burgers or pizza. I also drink lactose free milk so I dunno whats going on.

I'm guessing it could rice, but I eat sushi a lot and don't get pains so can't be that. You'd think satay chicken sauce would have little gluten, but seems quite sensitive for me :s

You would have to check the ingredients on the food you ate.  Soy sauce often contains gluten, so it is likely gluten is in the dish.  Since, you are returning to gluten after having a time away from it, it wouldn't surprise me that you are having symptoms.

  You should keep a record of these symptoms and share them with the doctor that tests you.

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
