I have never gone to the hospital because of a glutening. Not because it wasn't bad enough(it certainly is painful and achy, vomit and diarrhea filled) but I didn't know that they could do anything for me other than provide a bed and puke bucket. Sorry if I sound rude I am really not trying to be. What can they do for you to make you feel better?

well

as someone who has just been to the hospital let me tell you! Now, not all hospitals are as nice as this one, and my reactions are more than just puking and d....I also pass out and occasionally start talking crazy ( which I never remember) but the hospital always immediately starts an IV to replenish the fluids, gives me something to stop the vomiting and then a pain medication b/c my stomach seizes up for hours even after the vomiting stops...anyways, I would never go just for d or even throwing up, but usually when I pass out it scares my hubby pretty good enough to get me there quick so they can help...But seriously if you get sick enough they can at the very least stop the vomiting and d and help with the pain after...if you get intense pain after! its no fun for sure but sometimes when the pain is bad enough desperate times call for desperate measures!

I have passed out and my stomach seizes for soooooooo long I feel like I have no hope left, I have been puking before for up to 10 days because of a glutening. I'm not talking like one time after another but a really bad spell 6 hours and another one. Another symptom is this shaking and excessive sweating, so I am really glad to know that if it lasts 3-4 days as usual I can go and have something done about it seen that most of the time I cannot eat or drink anything(which obviously causes dehydration). So thanks for the info! :huh:

In addition to the things already mentioned, they can also give you an oral steroid. It helps to prevent they symptoms from dragging out over multiple days, which I have had happen. But only when I was bad enough to end up in the ER due to the dehydration side of things.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
