I went gluten free a little over a year ago. I didn't see a doctor before doing this or get the proper testing. I didn't have insurance at the time and I was financially not in a good spot. It was definitely the solution to my problems, whether Celiac or NCGS. I do have health insurance now, and I'm considering seeing a doctor about my gut health. I know...

Do you drink any liquor straight? Favorite alcohol?
JM12 replied to JM12's topic in Super Sensitive People
Oh no! That's not really good news for those of us that do indeed react to grain distilled liquor. But it's not a hard thing for those who are sensitive to research anyway and make smart decisions with anyway. -
I used to love to sip whiskey straight. Even after going gluten-free, I was in denial that whiskey affected me (because tons of things online say that the distillation "removes" gluten) but I had to accept the reality that whiskey definitely gave me gluten reactions and I cut it out. I love Tito's, but not for drinking straight. It's a little hard for...

Does this increase in IgA mean anything?
JM12 replied to JM12's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you all for the feedback. I sent this reply as a follow in another thread that RMJ replied to as well, but I wanted to share here too for anyone else that happens across this question. So, here's my update 8 months later. I ended up going completely gluten free, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life... -
Thank you all for the feedback. I figured I would take the time to follow up now that it's been almost a year. I ended up going completely gluten free, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I never did a biopsy to look in my intestinal track, and that's okay with me. My mental clarity and my physical health...

I didn't reply earlier so, 5 months later I figured I'd give an update! I definitely way overthought this concept and I've found it to be a non-issue. 99% of the time when the topic comes up, I just say I can't eat gluten and that's that. I've found I haven't gotten any flak for saying gluten intolerant outside that one instance and of course on the...

I'm definitely gluten intolerant, but I do not know if it's Celiac Disease or not. Long story short, I've had a myriad of related health issues for as long as I can remember. After a lot of research, I found out last year it was likely gluten. I did a gluten challenge and my health plummeted to the worst ever and I had to stop after 4 weeks because the effect...

I took a blood test last month, which only tested ttg IgA and was negative (1 u/mL). And I’m not IgA deficient. Now I wasn’t eating gluten everyday before that, but was eating gluten at least 1-2x/week. I decided to do a more proper gluten challenger and ate 2 pieces of bread everyday, and felt very validated that gluten was the cause because my sym...

I've spent a lot of time looking up to see if I can find a post about a similar situation but haven't had luck finding it. I've never been 100% gluten free. As of this past Spring, I consumed gluten regularly (maybe a few times per week? I don't believe it was ever daily) and had a lot of the symptoms from it. I made some big health changes going into...
