The wierd thing is, I did wait days to see what my gluten symptoms are! My GI suggested Silent Celiac. Whats weird is Ive been able to eat dairy products without a problem? This whole time I was able too. So far, broccoli is the absolute worst for me too ear. Rice I really need. I need the carbs. I havent been eating a lot because I dont know what to eat... -
I did eat gluten for a week before the testing, he didnt say what labs he wanted ran on me. But I did figure out one of my problems! I wasnt eatint enough carbs. I also figured out any foods that are harder to digest like broccoli, steak, green beans, and what not. I cant eat😂 They are too hard for me to digest I guess. Im focusing on easier to digest fo...

I can drink milk and eat cheese still. I did allergy testing abd didnt have a single allergy to the foods I noticed made me feel off. Ive avoided those foods for a while now. I think Im going to talk to a nutritionalist after my GI. Thank you for the idea! I wish I judt had a handbook of what I can and cant eat because franikly, I really need to eat something...

Yeah, they have been tested. The only reason I purposely ate gluten was to know my reaction to it bc initially, fruits and other foods made me have evry symptom that led me to an endoscopy. I wondered what my gluten symptoms were and I yet have to figure that out. My GI is looking into silent celiacs as far as celiacs goes. The worst reaction I had, thinking...

Its really not. It was plain broccoli. I even tested it. I went out of my way to eat gluten and nothint happened. I ate broccoli and almost passed out abd it was just bad all around. I promise gluten isnt my culprit rn😂

I think he did the blood tests to see if I had any antibodis to begin with because ny first doctor never did that. My first doctor didnt do anyything other than an endoscopy😂 I realized, Im either sebsitive to salicylates or Im just far too overley stressed. Which I am, but still. Im actually very scared to eat really anything becaus last night, I ate br...

Update! I spoke with my new Gastro yesterday and he ordered 4 labs to see if I have antibodies in my system! Hopefully well get more answers!

Thats what Im doing. On my pathology it said I should do serology before a gluten free diet but...that was never even brought up. Hopefully my new gastro will help me figure out whats going on. So far, I still havent had any sort of stomach pains, diarrhea or brain fog. I feel more normal and that I needa eat to grt my vitamins back. Being gluten free made...

Thats why Im going to a different gastro. Iv reibtroduced gluten and feel quite a bit better than I have on the gluten free diet. There was just so much going on that I feel its too simple to jump to celiacs so fast when I had an endoscopy for symptoms that were related to what I thought was celiacs. I strated reintroducing gluten again, slowly bur surely...

My doctor jumped straight to endoscopy! Before endoscopy I had really bad indigestion, really bad bloating, and so on. They jumped straight to celiac after endoscopy. Ive done a ton of research, not just "so and so said this." Ive read through tons of studies and decided, I need to try to eat gluten too find my reactions because initially I had bad indigestion...
-
I have not had a blood test at all! Ive actually been eating KitKats with no affects, other than slight bloating. The blost go aways quick tho. When I was diagnosed, the doctors did no follow up testing at all. No one in my family is celiac either. I figured that out yesterday. My grandmother is gluten sensitive bc she has liver cirrhosis and thats it. I...

Ive been gluten free for 3 months. I did go through withdrawal. I remember going to the doctor bc I had bad acid reflux and bloating. He said celiacs but I never had acid reflux or indigestion with gluten, only fruits, or any fermentable foods. Im talking with my gastro this friday for some answers bc I wasnt tested right!

I honestly believe I dont have celiacs. I did an endoscopy and I heard I had very little blunting and atrophy. I also had 6-12 intrapaethelial lymphocytes per 20 villous tips. I started gluten free diet, and very strict with it, and I feel the same if not worse. Ive done a ton of research and before I had the Endo, I was on a PPi for 3 months. Those cab cause...

My stomach issues surpisingly resovled rather fast! I still have the fullness feeling, but no pain! It took about 2-3 weeks on strict gluten free for my stomach pains to go away. Everyones body is different so dont give up!
