If you won't eat gluten free, you won't heal your Celiac damage.  It will get worse.  If you really feel this bad, perhaps that will be enough to convince you to eat gluten free?

Unless you go 100% gluten free it will only get worse, lead to complications, and eventually kill you. -_- I did not know about mine for years and ended up with other auto immune disease, multiple allergies, and  food intolerance issues. I thought I was dying when I figured it out and went gluten free. You can not cheat on this diet as the antibodies will spike for weeks to a month. Symptoms from a gluten exposure can take days, weeks, and months to go away. In the case of nerve damage (mine started effecting my brain and nervous system) years before you start seeing improvement.

It is quite hard at first, but once you get it down it becomes second nature. there are many gluten free alternatives now days to make it easier. Now with your severe amount of issues and pain ignoring it. You probably already developed other food intolerance issues, and will probably have a very limited diet for awhile til you heal somewhat.

If you are celiac you HAVE to be gluten free no matter how inconvienent it may seem to you.  Your body is clearly telling you to stop cheating on the gluten free lifestyle. If you need help with identifying where you can improve we are here to help in any way we can. You need to go and read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of valuable info for you. I hope your pain resolves soon but be aware that for some repeat glutenings can lead to the development of other autoimmune problems and for some the pain of each repeat glutening can increase as well.

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.
