Gluten Detox

I've been off gluten for a full week now, but I still get very bad gas pains. Is this normal? Or does it mean something other than gluten has been causing my symptoms? Since going g.f., I have had more energy and my skin symptoms are clearing, but no relief with the gas- no matter what I eat, the pain starts about 30 min to an hour later.

What does detox feel like?

Thanks.

I'm sorry I really don't has an answer I'd just like to day I'm gluten free 1 1/2 months now and I've been feeling better in energy and headaches are gone but my bloating is awful. Everytime I eat my stomah grows. I wake up with a slightly bloated stomach, and everytime I eat it just grows to the poirnt where the end of the day I am huge and sick and heating pads and stuff. My main symptom was unbelievably stubborn constipation which I don't think is fixed that's why I'm so bloated, I go daily(now that school has started I haven't been!) but I think I'm so backed up. All of this and I'm only 13.

Wow that really didn't answer you I just wanted to let you know that your not tv only one who didn't miracly have all of their problems immediatley go away(hopefully they will soon)

Good luck and I'm iterested in hearing the answers you get from these helpful people

Are either of you eating alternate grains? They really do a number on me. How about dairy? At first you should not eat dairy as most of us have damaged villi that cannot tolerate dairy.

I would suggest to both you to give up dairy first. See if you see improvement in a few days. If not stop the grains and see how you feel. It's the only way to know.

People with withdrawals seem to describe them as even more intense gluten symptoms. Anyone know more than that?

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
