How long have you been gluten-free? If you are sure you gluten-free (food and products too), then it is potentially just your body still being in the midst of healing. If symptoms persist though, you may want to monitor to see if other foods and ingredients besides gluten are bothering you... I have been gluten-free 8/9 months and still have ups and downs for sure...

For me that was normal when I first started the gluten free diet. I went through that for about 1 year on the diet. I am fine now and only get like that when I get into gluten or dairy.

Thanks for that. I am seeing the same sort of stuff, and was wondering what I might be doing wrong for the worse times, or right for the better times. So, I guess I'd like to find ways to minimize the problems and enhence the recovery, if that's possible. Maybe certain nutrients that are more vital to the healing process? Vegetable proteins to aid in celular repair perhaps? I *think* I've noticed improvement when eating more spinach, brussell sprouts, broccoli, and things like that. I just generally alternate the veggies to keep things interesting. But heck, I'll eat more of whatever helps.

I think that you just have to let your body heal, and if you don't get better in like 7-8 months, then go back to your doctor for follow up tests and make sure that there isn't anything else that is bothering you.

Hope you feel better

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
