Not Celiac After All? (this Is Urgent)

I'm starting to conclude that I may not be Celiac after all. I've only experience changes with absence of gluten due to a introduction to new food in my diet, and say healthier ( like high consumption of Vitamin D lately), prompting better health conditions. I remember re-calling many improvements I began to notice, and so thought on what I just stated above and the improvements in areas... thought of what I have been consuming in high amounts ( I guess Vitamin D and Calcium are a few) and looked their benefits online. What I found in Vitamin D benefits are many improvements I've noticed.

Few benefits:

I do see my doctor June 1st, and instead of being tested for anxiety I think it's urgent that I'm tested for allergies. Have anyone experience/ know anyone who found not to be Celiac but thought so due to better choices of food? Could this likely be my problem? I have seen little to no changes in the lump on the back of my head, I think I will go and consume wheat and see my reactions. It may be likely that I could be allergic to something in the air, or something else.

Hi! Did you get the blood work done? That can give you some guidance here (but you have to be eating gluten when you get the it done so you don't get a false negative).

Sounds like you need piece of mind. Get tested for Celiac and then move on if it isn't the problem.

So stop my gluten free diet and get tested first? Or eat gluten a day or two before testing/ doctors?

I'm not sure how long you've been gluten-free :unsure: but if it's for any length of time it is recommended that you go back on a HIGH gluten diet for SIX WEEKS before you have any tests

Good Luck :)

My assistant's son had lumps on the back of his head/neck and it was related to ongoing sinus problems. When those were addressed, the lumps slowly went away.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
