Symptoms After Gluten Free For 2 Years

Can you still have symtoms after being gluten free for 2 years? And have different types of food allergies after 2 years? I am wondering if it isn't candida but the doctor doesn't think so. I am so tired and have trouble with wanting to cook after I get home from work. Does anyone have any ideas to help?

I have vitamin D deficiency. Maybe need to move to Golden Co.

Thanks for any ideas.

You need to get your Vit D levels up if they are low. Low D can cause fatigue and a host of other issues. Do you know what your levels are? Your Dr. can give you an Rx Vit D to get the levels up faster. I have gone through the low D and it ain't fun.

I have read many posts by people who became sensitive to lower gluten levels after they had been gluten free for a couple of years. It certainly happened to me. I did start taking D, but that isn't what helped my energy levels, it was cutting out more processed foods which helped the most. I started keeping a food diary and challenging everything. After a long while I managed to get a diet which works for me.

I still don't have other food allergies. I just have to really watch my sources. I can tolerate dairy only from one farmer, only eggs from another, only chicken from another. Fortunately for me these farmers all work together so it is one stop at the farmer's market. They don't feed their animals gluten grains. That seems to make the difference for me.

      TTG-IGA Question

      By kim91380 · Posted

      @trents, this was a first for him.  He has been suffering from constipation and abdominal pain for years.  I finally got the doc to test for Celiac since I heard about it from another friend.  Just got his lab results back!  This is all new to me.  I have a lot of learning to do!

      TTG-IGA Question

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @kim91380! A little education perhaps is in order here. I hope you aren't offended. The tests don't measure blood levels of gluten but the blood levels of the antibodies produced by the immune system as it attacks the gluten that comes in contact with the cells that line the small bowel. So, as we eliminate gluten from the diet, the levels of the antibodies begins to drop. New antibody production ceases very quickly upon discontinuing gluten consumption but it can take awhile for the body to eliminate those already in circulation, probably several weeks to see much of a noticeable drop. And unless all gluten has been removed from the diet, the antibody drop will be slower and may not reach normal levels. Do the test scores you refer to reflect a new diagnosis of celiac disease or is this repeat testing from an existing diagnosis and if the latter, how long ago was the initial diagnosis made?

      TTG-IGA Question

      By kim91380 · Posted

      My 8-year-old son just got his blood results back and his TTG level is 20.3.  In general, how long does it take to get the gluten out of their system completely?

      Anyone gone through public school gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      We made our kids' lunches throughout elementary school, and a good part of high school, but my daughter ended up straying from the diet in high school due to peer pressure. I think you brought up something interesting, and that is that some kids get mistakenly diagnosed with eating disorders, when they actually may have celiac disease or some other food intolerance or allergy. It's not just kids, adults are often dismissed by doctors and suspected of having mental or emotional issues, rather than celiac disease. We've seen it all on this forum--tons of people are prescribed antidepressants or antianxiety meds when they describe their many, seemingly unrelated symptoms to their doctors.

      Confused about test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's understandable to be concerned about the unit change between your child's test results. TTG-IgA can be reported in different units (U/mL or kIU/L), and some labs use a conversion where 1 U/mL equals approximately 1 kIU/L. However, since reference ranges and assay methods vary by lab, it's best to confirm with them directly. Ask the lab or your doctor to clarify whether the new result is truly higher or if it’s just a reporting difference. This will help avoid confusion before the endoscopy. Hope you get clear answers soon! Let us know.
