Minor Setback

Well, after 2 weeks of feeling great, i had a setback today. Apparently Faygo pop doesnt like me. It is the only new thing i have added this week and i had a visit from the big D and was reunited with the brain fog and fatigue. I know i will have these setbacks, and it is still better than the way things were even 3 weeks ago. I cant wait to try my hand at some baking, because the gluten-free bread i bought is rather yucky. I hope its better fresh, tell me its better fresh.

This forum has been so supportive, thanks to everyone here.

Its not uncommon to have minor setbacks during not only your first few weeks but it will continue for a long time to come.... 6 years down the road you will become complacient about company "A" and stop reading their label each time you purchace their product and oooops they changed the recipe to now include gluten...

it happens and we get to deal with it, but overall the end result is worth it.

This being your 2 week anniversary (so to speak) I normally suggest getting a fresh start, being that you had brain fog when you started you may have missed something along the way so revisit articles and re-read them, doublecheck all your food items in the cupboard and this time since you will be doing it without "mr brain fog" you may pick up something you missed. Dont forget to check vitamins and prescription meds you may be taking as well as shampoo's, lotion and such if you continue to use them you need to at the very least be aware of which ones contain gluten so you can take the precautions nessasary.

As for the baking.... start small with a batch of cookies or brownies (I started with coffee cake, will send you the recipe if you want) and yeah sure the bread tastes better freshly baked (actually I have no idea as I havent gotten up the nerve myself to find that out yet, lol)

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
