Is it possible the birth control pills change dosages each week? Some Birth Control Pills do not give a consistent dose through the month but change weekly. Just a thought.

Marlie,

I do believe my birth control gives the same dosage expect for the week when you are suppose to have a period then it is different, but other then that. Something I may look into though, just to check. Thanks :)

Maybe keeping a diet diary will help. It helped me figure out that I don't tolerate nightshades very well. Write down both the foods and how you feel and start looking for patterns. Maybe there is something you are consistently eating on the weekends that is different, perhaps something your husband likes for breakfast/lunch that you don't cook during the week.

I started keeping a food diary in order to see what I am eating. I generally eat the same stuff all week. I started the diary on Monday, so far I have not noticed any patterns aside from I feel a little off right before bed, as well as right when I wake up. However I have always been like that, due to eating too much right before bed and not always eating breakfast when I wake up. Hopefully after this weekend I will maybe have an idea of what I eat on the weekends and how that contributes to how I feel.

How about the cat? Do you give the cat any special treats on Friday night? I know I used to give Muffin extra treats on Friday nights. Since she had worked so hard all week long ya know. Anyway, everyone knows Fridays contain gluten right? :D

Nope no special treats for the kitty. Our cat actually hates cat treats and canned cat food, so all she gets is dry cat food lol

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Possibly, but there used to be a movement within the celiac disease community to just tell restaurants that you have a deadly wheat/gluten allergy to, hopefully anyway, ensure that your meal is actually gluten-free. I don't recommend this approach at all, and if I ran a restaurant where there was ANY risk of cross-contamination, I'm afraid that I would decline to server someone who made this claim. No restaurant owner wants anyone dying or going to the emergency room at their business.
