I've been sooooo good ever since the Italian restaurant. I've cooked everything I've eaten, making darn sure it's gluten-free. But yet, yesterday and today, I'm having symptoms again. Cramping, D and loose stools. I don't get it. Am I asking too much to have my symptoms abate so quickly or

did I get glutened??

I did have some coffee with coffeemate creamer, I thought it was gluten-free, thought I might have been wrong, but I look it up on the Internet and it is indeed gluten-free. What gives? Any ideas? Thanks, J

Jerry, a few things come to mind. Are you still eating/drinking dairy? That could be the culprit. A lot of people thought they kept getting glutened, only to find out that those 'glutenings' were caused by dairy (or soy).

Also, maybe your system can't handle certain foods yet. For the first six months of being on the gluten-free diet, I was unable to eat anything raw. I had to even cook fruits, or I would get stomach cramps and diarrhea. I wasn't even able to eat a salad. I am fine with those things now (still only in moderation, though, and it's been a year and three months).

While your intestines are healing, you need to be careful to eat easily digestible foods. When you get symptoms again, it isn't necessarily always from gluten. I know, that makes it even more tricky, but that's the way it is.

You are still healing. Some foods may not digest so well until your small intestine is working properly. I have been gluten free for 7 months. I have problems with pork, apricots and milk. I do not eat or drink too much of these because I get a stomach ache.

Hi Jerry -

I had the same problem - felt fabulous the first week I went gluten free, then all of a sudden started getting D every day. After about a month (and some help from people at this site) finally figured out it was the dairy. I don't remember having issues with dairy before, but I sure have them now.

Could be one possiblity . . . good luck! Hope you feel better.

      Celiac And Eggs

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      I just wanted to point out that the QUANTITY of exposure to eggs in baked goods would naturally be much less than if you were to eat a whole egg. I think that's why they appear to be tolerated in baked goods, but not as a stand-alone food.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      By Jack Common · Posted

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By cvernon · Posted

      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.
