I Am So Furious

I was told by a Dr 3 years ago that I was negative for the celiac genes and my celiac blood panel was negative therefore I couldn't be celiac. I have progressively gotten worse and worse and as some people on this site know I have had Intersusseption 4 times - its considered life threatening and it happened the last time I ate gluten after being gluten free for 6 weeks- I actually felt like I might die it was so bad.

Anyhow - I went to get my results because the Dr to see for Celiac stuff in this country said he could spare me 10 minutes to look at my results and see what I should do from there.

Anyhow - I found out that the tests were never done :o and for some reason the dr lied to me about it.

I just got my genes test back and have HLA DQ8 - after all this time and after all these years of trying to convince Drs that I'm not crazy that actually gluten makes me really really sick and being really dismissive and not entertaining the thought of it because my genes were negative.

From now on I will always demand a copy of any tests I have done.

Rant over!

I would lodge a complain to the medical licensing board for that doctor. Lying and causing you years of suffering is simply unacceptable.

      Being present in same room as gluten pasta cooking

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      To be on the safe side, for those who are super sensitive, I would still recommend turning the fan on the range hood to high when cooking any gluten, including pasta.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Scrubbing with soap and water well should be enough to clean a pan so that it is safe for those with celiac disease. Different celiacs will react to different levels of gluten.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not making any claims about what your issue is regarding you issue with saltiness, I only wanted to dispel the claim that histamines have a salty taste. Most foods, particularly in the USA, are in fact, too salty. The spike in overly salty foods that has occurred in the USA since the 1950's junk food explosion has caused many foods to be overly salty, and has changed our taste buds to not be able to recognize this. If friends or family visit me from Europe or Asia, some of them notice this right away, but as American junk foods have spread worldwide, less people notice this issue, as it is becoming a worldwide issue.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KCGirly! From Wikipedia on Semaglutide: "The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation." How much gluten are you consuming daily? Recently revised recommendations are for the daily ingestion of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks prior to celiac disease testing, either via blood antibody tests or endoscopy/biopsy in order to ensure valid test results. Your GI doc's instructions barely fit into that time window. I hope it is sufficient to yield valid biopsy results. About your episode(s) after reintroducing gluten on 12/23 after starting a gluten free diet on 11/29. You stated at the outset of your narrative that historically these episodes occurred about every two weeks and that was before you trialed the gluten free diet. I would point out that you had only been eating gluten free for three weeks before the episode on 12/23. So, I'm not sure you can attribute that episode to the return to gluten consumption.  In addition to celiac disease, there is another gluten-related health issue known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Also, can you specify which test or tests for celiac disease were ordered by your GP? There are a number of serum antibody tests that can be run in order to detect celiac disease but many physicians will order the minimum instead of a more extensive panel. What one test misses, another may catch.
