Absolutely!!

That's one of the symptoms that led me to find out I was gluten intolerant. It happened mostly when I had some rye bread. Even one slice would make me thirsty within an hour, probably like 20-30 minutes. It would last for an entire day, and no amount of water would relieve the thirst. Not even 12 full glasses, which was about as much as I could drink.

That's weird because I've had a very dry mouth since I went on the gluten-free diet! Always knew I was backwards! :blink:

Yea--gluten does make me thirsty. The first couple of months gluten-free, I was thirsty all the time.

The last time I was really sick because of gluten (last August) I was so thirsty for about 24 hours. I couldn't stop drinking water. The extreme thirst was my first clue that I'd been glutened.

Yes, it's with me, too. With us during the training drinking is allowed, but not during the belt tests. And I always tell my students to train for that. They look even more strange at me, when I drink during training, because I was glutened. But I'm incredible thirsty then, too. And my mouth is so dry, I can't speak to explain the exercises anymore. :blink:

Dry mouth seems to be one of my first signs of gluten contamination. It does make it difficult to carry on a conversation :lol: It sounds funny when I speak.

I have been thirsty all the time for the past three years. I was just diagnosed with celiac disease about 6 weeks ago, and the thirst has subsided some. Seems to be getting better each day. I had mono about 3 years ago and never really recovered. One of my mono-like symptoms, in addition to fatigue and headaches (the primary problems), was thirst. I often wake up feeling hung over. I feel better after a couple of glasses of water. I am hoping that all of my mono-like symptoms are gone after a few more months going gluten-free.

      There are other possible causes or damaged small bowel villi besides celiac disease. Google this: Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies There is also something known as seronegative celiac disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4586545/

      Not All Corn Grits are Safe

      Quaker corn grits are not certified gluten-free! These may, in fact, be contaminated by cross-contact in the manufacturing process. I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for about 3 years, with varying results depending on cross-contact issues. My celiac testing was inconclusive - and I wasn't willing to go back on gluten long enough for a full...

      Had my endoscopy yesterday I was told it would be about 6 weeks for the results.. Also found a small H Hernia only small they won’t be doing anything about that about that.

      Thanks for the additional info, @TerryinCO. Can you give the reference ranges for the celiac antibody tests. The scores you posted are not of much value without reference range numbers since there are not industry standards for these tests as far as the the scales they use. What they are testing for is the same but how they concoct the tests is a little different...

I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for about 3 years, with varying results depending on cross-contact issues. My celiac testing was inconclusive - and I wasn't willing to go back on gluten long enough for a full celiac diagnosis. I get pretty severe symptoms just a few hours after ANY gluten ingestion, no matter how small, so gastrointestinal doc recommends continuing to follow a gluten-free diet. So whether I have celiac disease (I do have one celiac gene) or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, treatment is the same. I have enjoyed corn grits on occasion, but started seeing a pattern of gluten intake symptoms after large family breakfasts. This last time, I researched everything I might have ingested. My family is pretty good about cross-contact, too. When I got to the Quaker corn grits, I found they are not certified gluten-free, and the labeling does not say gluten free anywhere - although the only ingredients are corn grits, salt and some vitamins and minerals. The research I did confirms that while Quaker grits do not "contain" gluten ingredients, they may indeed be contaminated by cross-contact with glutens. I threw out all the grits (and corn meal) I had in the pantry, and bought some certified as gluten-free. Hopefully, next family breakfast will be better! 😋

Positive tTG and/or DGP IgG antibody results indicate celiac disease; however, small intestinal biopsy is required to establish a diagnosis due to the lower accuracy of these markers, especially in patients without IgA deficiency.

The scores you posted are not of much value without reference range numbers since there are not industry standards for these tests as far as the the scales they use. What they are testing for is the same but how they concoct the tests is a little different from lab to lab. You will need to repost the original numbers as well as the reference ranges in a new post as you will not be able to edit the original post. Also, unfortunately, it doesn't seem your doctor ordered a "total IGA" test to determine of you are IGA deficient. If there is IGA deficiency, test scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests will be artificially low. You mention that there are genetic tendencies on your mother's side for thyroid problems. Perhaps there is also an inherited tendency for celiac disease on that side as well. It's only in the last couple of decades has the medical community begun to understand that celiac disease has long fingers that extend far beyond gut symptoms.
