Celiac Gene & Gluten Challenge Sucks -- Now what?

Hi All!

I just found out I have the celiac gene. My brother has it too; he was diagnosed with celiac. My sister also has the gene but she was diagnosed NCGS. I have tried twice to do the gluten challenge so I can get proper blood work and this last time (last Friday) I got so sick I missed two days of work this week. I am just today feeling like myself again. 

I only stopped eating gluten about two months ago (except for the two times I ate gluten in the last two weeks). Do you think my blood work would still come back positive or is it a waste to test at this point without doing the gluten challenge? Or maybe the challenge gets easier the longer you do it? I would like to get a proper diagnosis but I can't lose my job. 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

      I hope you meant "pen pal" instead of "paypal".

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Beverage · Posted

      As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.
