Too Confident?

I may have come off in my last post as being too together about this situation. although I have been gluten free since Jan 1, and my symptoms are much less, they are still there. Yesterday, I had to run through a large and crowded grocery store to get to the bathroom fast. (Has any one noticed that gluten bms are more insistant?) I also had major gas and bloating all evening. I am just sick of being a slave to the bathroom! When will this go away? Also, in 1980, my mother was diagnosed with chrones. I was not close to her at the time, but when she visited me, I noticed that she was eating rice cakes. As far as I know, people with chrones can eat gluten. Im wondering if she didnt have misdiagnosed celiac? Any thaughts on the subject? I dont know much about chrones. could the damage done to my pancreas be causing some of my probles, or am I just being too impatient?

Hi ranger,

Perhaps this link might offer some humor to your current situation. As evident, we have all been there:

(and yes, be diligent and patient, it may take weeks or several months.)

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
