If you suspect fructose, you may want to cut out brown rice, brown rice pasta, and baked goods with brown rice flour. Even though it doesn't have fructose or fructans in it, a lot of people with fructose malabsorption can't eat it. It gives me terrible stomach pain that starts two days after I eat it. (I get C, so it takes a couple of days for my GI tract to show the symptoms of a food reaction.)

Did your stomach ever have spasms? I've woken up with my stomach lurching like I'm throwing up but I'm not. Or I have woken up swallowing a little bit of vomit. Its horrible

Not my stomach. I was having intestinal spasms though. I wasn't swallowing I was breathing it in. I would wake up from a sound sleep choking and unable to breathe from stomach contents I was breathing in.

Thanks guys. I been making homemade chicken and rice soup and I seem to feel better the next day. But anything other than rice and steamed vegetables and salad seem to make me feel horrible. I know I can't tolerate soy and dairy that well or eggs. Can people be intolerant to sugar? Candy and sweets make me feel really bad too.

Sugar is bad.

Stick to the simple homemade chicken/lamb/beef & veg soups etc until you need.

After 10 months I still can not do "bagels" or other processed foods, even chocolate.

Be patient and persistent.

Ok thanks guys. It makes me feel better to know that I have can try and fix it with your suggestions rather than just sitting her and suffering without a clue. I think stress has alot to do with it too.

I really think it's corn because I just went to the movie theatre and ate some of their popcorn and now I feel extremely sick to my stomach and bloated in my intestines. I just get up and clean or do something to try and take my mind off it :/ horrible. But bright side, i found a premade, frozen gluten free pizza at whole foods i can't wait to buy when i feel better!

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1! The reason you are seeing conflicting results when you research the length of time recommended for doing the "gluten challenge" is that the guidelines have recently been under revision. So there are two components: 1. amount of daily gluten consumption and 2. duration of that amount of daily gluten consumption Recently, the guidelines have been under revision because the medical community was sensing the previous standards were too relaxed, particularly in the daily amount of recommended gluten consumption. The more recent guidelines seem to be calling for higher amounts of daily gluten consumption over (perhaps) as shorter period of time. So, it is becoming a daily minimum of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. Personally, I would recommend that amount of consumption be extended from two weeks to four weeks to ensure valid testing. Your Immunoglobulin IgA at 1.25. Was that within normal range? If that one is low, you are IgA deficient and other IgA test results cannot be trusted. But regardless of whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same, namely, a gluten free diet. What would you do different if you had a more confident differential diagnosis? And there are other reasons for the development of osteopenia/osteoporosis that you probably should explore. Are you on any serious supplementation for D3 and magnesium?

      The results of my blood tests after 4 weeks: *Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA —->   “<0.5 NEGATIVE” *Immunoglobulin IgA —-> “1.25” *Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG —-> “<0.5 NEGATIVE”

      Hi there, I have been scouring the forums, medical journals, celiac websites, speaking to my doctor and there seems to be a contradiction in the exact amount of time one must do the gluten challenge for a blood test. Let me please express my gratitude for taking your time to help! I will try and keep this short. In a nutshell, I am positive genetically for celiac. Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet. At a very young age, I had infertility, hair loss, low iron, stomach problems, neurological symptoms, continued low bone density etc. etc. all the symptoms that line up with celiac.  I could never get an “official diagnosis” because I was not eating gluten for years.   Recently, I had a bone density scan, and was shocked at the results. I am young and my low bone density is continuously lowering. This lead me  to seriously consider doing the celiac blood test to confirm if I actually have celiac. Years ago, I had an endoscopy and they did a biopsy saying it was negative for celiac - but I had been on a gluten free diet for years. Now, I asked my doctor if I can start the gluten challenge and get this over with. My doctor said two weeks then get the blood test. I have been having 2-3 pieces of bread daily. After four weeks of doing this, I went for the bloodwork - it came back negative for celiac. I am continuing to eat bread daily, it has now been over 6 weeks. I am not able to get an endoscopy. Please, from your experience how long really must I eat bread daily to ensure I do not get a false negative blood test for celiac? I have read up to 12 weeks. One doctor advised this is foolish to even do this gluten challenge as I am damaging my body. My other doctor said 2 weeks eat it, but it showed negative. But with my recent continuous lowering of bone density I personally need to rule celiac out.   Thank you VERY much for your help, I truly appreciate it!!

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.
