Losing My Mind About This

Almost 2 months ago now, I wrote in and told everyone about my experience at Stonewood. I totally glutened myself on purpose with every morsel of wheat I could find. I thought I would be the type of person who would gluten myself every once in awhile just to get a taste of my favorite foods. However, now I know I will NEVER do it again. It's going on 2 months now, and I am still having extreme fatigue, bloating, weight gain, and just an overall sick feeling. I mean can I still be possibly having effects from the gluten??? I know this sounds crazy, but I feel like the gluten is STUCK in my body and won't come out!!! I am also battling candida, so this could also be part of the problem. However, I got so much worse after the gluten.

Have you ruled out other intolerances that may have cropped up? I can only go by my own experience but after being made very ill by a drug reaction I just never seemed to get back to where I was before I was given that drug. Finally I started a food diary and then tested with enterolab which showed I was also now casien and soy intolerant. As soon as I eliminated those two I got back to where I was before the reaction. I have always wondered if perhaps those other intolerances were buried in the background and then the stress of the reaction brought them out full force like severe illness or stressors will trigger celiac.

      Welcome to the forum, @Sandi20! By "specifically designed for celiac" do you mean gluten free or something more?

      I had high positive iGg antibodies in a full panel celiac test but a negative celiac biopsy. I was eating gluten for 2 months before the biopsy. Doctors are saying to trial a strict gluten free diet for 2-3 months and see if I feel better. I'm just confused about the antibodies. I mean my body is producing them for some reason?? I can't imagine I won't feel better with the diet. Would the diagnosis be non-celiac gluten sensitivity then? I thought you didn't have antibodies with that?  Confused. Thanks for your input!

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.
