Risk factors

I’ve been gluten free for two years after I noticed eating gluten made me bloat up. I lived passing gas and thought that was “normal”. Fatigue anxiety dizziness, sinus pains and tingling was a normal part of my life.was diagnosed with lupus at 25 only to find out now  I never had it at 42! My mom was told positive on blood work for gluten intolerance only to find out it’s celiac . Did genetic testing had positive DQ2.2 and something else my problem is doing the gluten challenge and having bad symptoms come back. I want to know if anyone can tell me if I sound risky for Celiac?

i have bad diarrhea now, I’m scared because it’s never been this bad ...i think maybe it’s something else. I have been consuming gluten but stopped and now my stomach is a mess. Help!

It can take a couple weeks of no gluten to go back to normal. It sounds like Celiac symptoms (same ones I had, even your current stomach issues). I also stopped using any bath and body products with gluten in them. I found that helped. The damage to the intestines is not reversible though, so it’s possible this new symptom is a result of that, and/or may be considered an IBS type thing. Talk to your dr, ASAP! I hope you get it figured out!

Last time I got glutened I it took over a month for all the symptoms to go away. Sounds like your bad enough off you can not try the gluten challenger for the offical testing. But I hear they are working on a new form of Dia. that does not require the challenge.  From what you mentioned and that your mother has it, you probably do also.

Some use Imodium to stop the D, I found taking 3000mg of potassium and eating baked goods etc with coconut flour to form up the stool helped. Others use peppermint tea to sooth the stomach (peppermint always aggravated mine).

Reread over the newbie 101 section and see if you missed something.

So you have seen your actual Celiac tests and they were positive years ago?  And your mom didn't understand it was for Celiac?  Those are all the tests you need if those are real.

Hi thanks for replying! I am taking all the advice I can thanks!  ?? 

kareng those were tests my mom had done last year but her doctor never said she had Celiac until I asked one of the ladies at the Celiac foundation about how my mom tested positive for  having “gluten intolerance “ .she informed me that there was no test for gluten intolerance only for Celiac and that’s when I had a talk with my mom 

i think I will skip the gluten challenge at this point . I’m glad to hear they are coming out with better testing methods.

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
