Wondering If I Should Try Gluten?

I've been gluten free for about 3 months now but I'm still getting the lightheadedness and hungry every 2 hours.

I never got official diagnosis, I've had two sets of bloods in the past two weeks. I should of asked them to do a gluten sensitivity test but the blood tests were so close to the time I went to the doctors I thought it wouldn't show up.

Anyway I'm thinking should I try something with gluten/wheat in it to see if it makes a difference? Like normal pasta. I've had little bits of it the other day, like chocolate with wheat flour in and I have no other symptoms.

Forgot to add that my anxiety is so much worse since starting gluten free.

Why not?  You don't know if you have Celiac.  Maybe its has nothing to do with gluten?  If you do have Celiac, you can eat a regular gluten containing diet for a few months and then get Celiac blood tests.  Unfortunately, there are currently no legitimate tests for "gluten sensitivity".

My GI diagnosed gluten sensitivity and actually recommended I go back on gluten to see if it caused harm. It's been 2.5 years, but now I'm having the same symptoms as last time when I finally went gluten-free to rid myself of them. I didn't suffer immediate issues at all, but today I have many that are now clearing up slowly after just a few days so far of being gluten-free again. Sticking to it this time because the last 2.5 years was a test to confirm his diagnosis. I had many symptoms, but I didn't put it all together that they were gluten related. I just thought I was getting older and had joint pain, back pain, skin issues and brain fog.

 

Only one way to know for sure and that's to eat it again and note any changes in your body. If you go gluten-free again later and they clear....there's your answer.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
