Just wondering how long it takes for your body to heal after going Gluten Free?? Also, I never get sick and eat gluten all the time and I am not sure how I am going to know that my body is healing, without any sypmtoms I cant tell. Sure I feel good, more energetic then before but thats all.

Are you still eating gluten????

Once you go gluten-free...some people take years to totally heal...everyone is different.

Today is my first day at the gluten free diet, however there are so many things that are hidden that I need to figure out first.

I agree, everyone is different and depending on how severly sick they were prior to their diagnosis might determine how quickly they will feel better. I personally noticed a change in 2-3 weeks, my GI symptoms seemed to get better, and my energy level picked up. Some of my other symptoms took a few months.

Some people are still healing even after a couple years.

Thanks. Good to hear positive feed back on this.

If you don't notice any difference right away, don't give up. It took two MONTHS for me to feel better. But the difference was so dramatic that I swore I'd never eat gluten again, and except for some really tiny unintentional oopsies, I've been gluten free for four years.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
