Some times worse than others. No rhyme or reason. Sigh.

Nothin' to do at 3am but sit on the internet or curl on the bathroom floor, really. So here I am. Taking a break from crying and sweating after glutened by, I suspect, what got me last week too. Threw it all out etc. but am confused as to why I ate it for 3 days last week and felt like I was hit by a train, slept all day and had mild bloating and constipation but was ok. Then didn't for a few days just in case and had about half the quantity this week and am in AGONY.

It's happened before, too. One bit of the wrong thing- agony. Whole pieces of something else given to me before I was in the habit of asking what was in it rather than is it gluten-free (no, guys. Rye is not...) and barely a reaction at all...?

How long will this last? Should I abstain from things I was intolerant to after diagnosis for a while like dairy or would it take longer to redo that damage? I'm back to terrified now. Ow ow ow...

When I have been glutened I lost all the things I had gotten back. The first time I waited a few months before trying them (one at a time of course), and I was OK. The second time was recently and SO MUCH worse! I've lost everything and am still not better. So...it looks like I not only lost the corn and soy that I lost when I first went gluten-free, but now I think I've lost dairy too. (And who knows what else??!!) So I'm back to square one. The oh so boring and restricted (and seemingly everlasting) elimination diet. :angry:

Ugh! Woah! Sorry to hear this. So glad this thread is here to make things far less confusing because I would never have realised this could happen and it definitely does. Bother.
Square one. But square 2 eventually comes and there is hope yet :) .

      + bloodwork - endoscopy.. then + bloodwork and another + bloodwork.. next endoscopy??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I lean towards very probably celiac disease due to the two positive tTg-IgA blood tests. Although there are other things that might cause this test to be elevated in certain individuals, the most likely cause by far would be gluten sensitivity.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      @SaiP, I noticed that you are eating foods that are high in histamine.  Bananas, avocados, spinach, gluten, and tuna are high histamine foods or are histamine liberators.  Histamine is released by mast cells in the body as part of the autoimmune reaction to gluten.  High histamine foods add to that histamine burden, making clearing histamine difficult.    Histamine is a helpful neurotransmitter, causing alertness.  We wake after sleep because our body produces histamine.  BUT, excess histamine causes insomnia.   We need vitamins and minerals, like Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Cobalamine, Vitamin C, and magnessium, to help our body break down and clear out histamine.   We need Thiamine and the other B vitamins to turn carbohydrates, like white rice, protein and fats into energy and fuel for the body.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more thiamine is needed above normal.  More thiamine is needed when physically sick, or emotionally stressed.  Losing weight until skin and bones is a symptom of Thiamine deficiency. White rice is stripped of nutrients like Thiamine, when the germ is removed to make it white.  Vitamins added to enriched rice can be lost if the rice is washed.  If you are increasing your rice consumption, you need to increase your thiamine.  The form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Healthy fats like olive oil should be included in the diet.  Our body likes to use healthy fats as fuel.   Do look into a low histamine gluten free diet.

      The first lab was different because Allina switched which lab they work with in between March and October. But October and January were the same lab. All through Allina but two separate labs.

      Since she is asymptomatic and her first biopsy was negative I would not assume she has developed celiac disease. If her upcoming biopsy shows evidence of mucosal damage you have the firm evidence you need to trigger the gluten-free protocol at the preschool. There are other causes for mildly elevated tTG-IGA levels besides celiac disease. Studies are all over the map with this statistic but there is somewhere between a 10% and an almost 50% chance that your daughter will develop celiac disease since she has a first degree relative who is a celiac (her sister). The important thing in this scenario is to continue to monitor the situation via testing and symptoms. You are already doing this so kudos to you and your doctors. But one question I have is, are the blood samples being tested by the same lab in each case? Different labs build these tests a little differently and there is no industry standard. So, to compare her tTg-IGA test scores from one time to the other is only useful if the analysis is being handled by the same lab.
