Given Up Gluten

Hello

I had some blood tests done over a week ago and only one came back as slightly abnormal, it was the liver test. After my blood test I went on a gluten free diet and after 48 hrs my depression lifted completly. I am now thinking staight and I dont feel like I cant cope with life. I cant beleive how much better I feel. I deceided to have a big slice of cake to see what happens.....I became really depressed again and it took 48 hrs until I was feeling better. I wont be doing that again.

My doctor wants me to take my blood test for my liver again, not sure why. I have made an appointment to see him and talk about why it needs to be done again. I dont want to have to go on gluten again......ever. But I live in England and I would get help with buying bread and pasta if I am diagnosed. We will see.

I just wanted to share my story and hope it helps someone with the same problems that I have been having. There is hope :D

Thank You for sharing your story :)I've had problems for 12 years & the worst of all is the brain fog. Because of everything I find myself depressed among other things. It's nice to see how well this works for you & gives me hope. I wish it was that fast for all of us! Mine is going to be a long process... It's been almost 5 weeks for me so far. Not bad really because I didn't realize how long it's been until I looked at the beginning date (July 6th).

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      Thank you for this! "Medical" advice, and I use the term loosely, is so rampant and so unproven nowadays (I even have relatives that fall down these rabbit holes and are shocked I don't follow.), so I am skeptical of everything. I appreciate the confirmation of my suspicions that this was more hearsay. Onward with my rice and corn. lol
