My Dr kept saying there was no check. So I decided to try gluten-free. Then they decided to do test and came back negative.i already have severe ibs swinging between diahrea for months as soon as eaten to not going 10 days,  went lactose intolerant. I suddenly lost weight wearing children's clothes so was told to eat dairy. Within 2 year I gained 5 stone. Still struggling with health more issues adding I had underachieve thyroid. I been offered colostomy over 10 yr ago due to period bleeding from back but refused. Anyway rushed in hospital after not going 10 days admitted told had slow bowel n sent home after 2 days. Now struggling to pass last few month won't flush it smells stale it's about 10" circumference sometimes always long like snake hurts like **** like hedgehog with an attitude. I was recently told I'm calcium vitamin d defiecency and health now rapidly down hill. Lots other issues. Started aged 22 now I'm 52. Need answers. Some this is not in right lines but I have fibromyalgia n CFS plus facial pains due to jaw??

If you are currently eating gluten, I would ask for  a Celiac blood panel.  

 

But I am finding your post a bit confusing.  For example - colostomy is not a cure for excessive menstrual bleeding.    I am wondering if you need to have a long talk with the doctor and get some explanations.  Maybe bring a friend along to hear it, too?

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
