Try some water and a good gluten free diet. You absorb 70% of the needed fluid intake in your small intestines.

DRINK WATER. :)

I drink 64 oz of water daily, Plus other drinks. It can't be dehydration. Ya think? Or is that a gluten thing too.

Malabsorption means you can be dehydrated no matter how much you drink precisely because you are not absorbing. I had this for quite a while when I first went gluten free. I was swollen from water retention but my mouth was dry even though I was drinking. If it is Celiac, it can definitely be malabsorption of fluids. But the longer you are gluten free it will get better and resolve itself when you are absorbing better. Drink water.

So that is why I hold fluid and my face swells up when I have an attack, Malabsorption? I learn so much from you folks. Thanks

Yes, that very well could be the reason why you swell up. I do to if I get gluten. Another reason can be vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamins C and D. Vitamin C deficiency causes tissues to swell because it is needed to build collagen and forms the structural foundation of our bodies...the stuff that our tissues and cells are made of. They leak if they don't have what they need to build strong walls. Vitamin C plus protein is needed for healing....plus other vitamin and minerals...but check this out...

I know it's kind of old, but the information on collagen and vitamin C helps to understand why we get swelling when we are vitamin deficient and not absorbing properly from Celiac.

Here are some other vitamins that cause swelling.

Hope this helps. Take your vitamins and drink your water.

I just read these again after a long time...so I'm gonna squeeze a lemon in my water right now!

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results. When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests. Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and...

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      My 5 months of Struggle

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds...

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results.  When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests.  Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and a false negative biopsy may result.  As uncomfortable as it is, finish all testing before going gluten free.

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, this article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
