When to stop eating gluten


Jennywren

Recommended Posts

Jennywren Newbie

My blood results have come back positive to celiac . I can't get into my doctor till end of month and probably another month before an endoscopy . My question is do I start excluding gluten from by diet  now or should I go and see another doctor earlier and wait till I have results from biopsy.

Hi Jenny, 

Welcome. I know some people have been diagnosed celiac just via blood tests before. I would talk to your doctor and find out what the next steps are. However, I believe that not eating gluten can make your endoscope come back negative for celiac even though your blood tests were positive.

My opinion?  Wait to go gluten free.  It is just a month or two.  I waited seven weeks for my endoscopy due to work constraints.  I took the time to bid farewell to some of my favorite foods.  

If you do have celiac disease and go gluten free, many folks find that their symptoms are worse when going back in gluten for testing.

      Awful terrible burning pains recently. Got suicidal thoughts from this crap yet again. I'm going to try doing low carb again as meat and veg type food has in the past reduced it. This is doing my head in.

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.
