What Is Your Usual Reaction After Eating Gluten?

I had been gluten-free for 6-8 weeks and then started eating gluten everyday for 3 weeks since I had believed I needed to eat gluten for the upcoming tests I was going to have. I then went with Enterolab, which doesn't require the patient to eat gluten before the test. I did not get sick at all. I continued to eat gluten for another 3 weeks (6 weeks in total) when my symptoms started to return.

I've been gluten-free for about 5 weeks, and one day I decided to go out and have dinner with my wife and son at one of our favorite restaurants that always has gluten in the foods. I wanted to have the food because I've been depressed that I cannot eat at any of my favorite restaurants anymore. I was preparing myself for a terrible stomach problem, and I had no reaction.

I also believe I am corn intolerant, however, there are some days when I will get sick if I eat something with corn, but other days I do not.

I immediately went back to a gluten-free diet, but I was curious to know if anyone else with Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac disease has a similar experience.

Okay scott here we go: Before I was diagnosed everything I ate went through me. I ended up just eating

the following diet for breakfast lunch and dinner for three weeks- nothing else !! :

white rice-- canned ham-- cooked yams/ granny smith apples mash. I made the yams from fresh produce and the rice was not the boxed crap. I did this during the holiday season of christmas.

It was hard but I did it . I figured something was going on, poss a food allergy. I gradually added a food at a time SLOWLY!! one new item every week and when I started to get sick I knew I needed to see an allergist. I suggest that you see one and have them test for food allergies using your blood. Not the skin prick. I tested positive for celiac using the titer test. I also was told that a certain test % result was needed for me to be truly allergic. I was told by my Kaiser doctor that a % 0f 32% or more is considered to be a true allergic reaction. I found out that anything above o% I needed to get out of my diet. I have deleted egg whites, all dairy, all wheat and gluten including oats, peanuts and codfish. I say start with a diet that is as close to natural as possible, refined /boxed foods are killers of the body- very toxic & nutrient deficient.

I would then keep on it for at least a month then add a new food every 3 weeks. any reaction at all-

such as feeling not just right, tired, headaches diarrhea anything -- get rid of it. You will need to keep a log book to track everything. I would also get tested at the same time. It wouldnt hurt to do both the skin and blood testing. You are in the time of discovery and it is a difficult time. Cheating will only set you back.

As far as eating out, I have been able to eat at applebees- steak but I have had to return my meal twice due to bread being put on top of my steak. I seem to be able to eat at panda express. I really dont trust ant one so if i do go out It is a rare occasion. good luck

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.
