Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity/intolerance


Noles Girl

Hello everyone,

I was diagnosed today with Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. I've had issues for 8+ years, and its great to finally put a name to what I have been going through. For years doctors' labelled me as having IBS, but then my headaches (migraines and tension) started occurring on a weekly basis, I was extremely exhausted that it interfered with my day, and I started losing my memory. I've always had an excellent memory, and I'm only 32 so I knew that I shouldn't be having memory loss this soon. About 3 months ago, I switched to a new doctor and she ran some blood tests and found out that I had a Vitamin B12 deficiency and that I was positive for one of the markers on the Celiac panel. My doctor had me try a gluten-free diet for a month and almost all my symptoms had either lessened or went away. I was sent to a GI doctor to confirm if I had Celiac, so I had to go back on a gluten diet for 6 weeks before my endoscopy and small intestine biopsy. It was miserable because all the abdominal pain, bloating, gas, headaches, and fatigue returned. I found out today that my biopsy returned normal with no damage to the small intestine, so my GI doctor has labelled me with NCGS since my body cannot tolerate gluten. I have been told by both my primary doctor and my GI doctor to live a gluten-free lifestyle. It's nice to know that eventually I will start feeling normal again and enjoy eating.

Welcome! You're in the right place. I've gleaned an abundance of information and support on this forum, more than any other outlet. There are so many people here who truly care.

I'm diagnosed the same as you, non-celiac but with a world of trouble ingesting gluten, for me mostly neurological. Shortly after removing gluten from my diet, I also stopped eating dairy and soy, and that seemed to make everything click for me, that, and watching the cross contamination issues. But one thing I know from reading these posts, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. That being said, there is always someone here who knows exactly what you're going through, so put your questions out there and see what works best for you.

You're in great company!

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄
