Hello everyone I hope your all getting better ..X

You may have read my last post I am doing gluten eating for my biopsy which is TUesday and I have been eating for 5 weeks which has been awful...

Cant wai to get back on my diet and start getting better and also get rid of candida aswell...

I wanted to ask if any one has badly dehydrated skin, bags under thier eyes, cant sleep, the worst one which is getting me down is I have this strange little vein which has popped up which starts in teh corner of my eye and goes up across my eye lid..and its really puffy and it looks horrible (sorry for being Vien)....I am just worried as it feels like I am falling apart from this celiac and I look awful...

I have been so depressed and bad self image low self esteem whilst eating gluten I have had to go straight round my sisters when I ve eaten as I am worried about what I might do to myself as I getr suicidal thoughts through my head..

Ive also noticed when I eat chocolate I get a bit constipated and feel phyically sick and bad tum and have to sleep ..if I just eat gluten stuff bread etc..I go to the loo straight away but its so sticky it sticks to the loo and is big bulky and sometimes I get direha...god knows..sorry about the poo discription

Keep your fingers crossed guys for me..I hope it is celiac as Ive had enough of trying to work out whats wrong ...

This could be from the inflammatory reaction that is coursing through your bloodstream. Nothing definate just an educated guess. Have you told your doctor how badly you are reacting? If not you should. Gluten is also a neurotoxin and the suicidal ideation is not uncommon and you need to let your doctor know about it. He may, and IMHO should, want you to stop the challenge. Please be aware also that the true test of whether you need the gluten free diet is your response to it and you don't need a doctors permission to follow the diet. There are instances of false negatives on biopsies please don't rely on just that for judging whether you should be gluten-free or not.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  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.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
