symptoms reduced during gluten challenge?
newto replied to newto's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thanks! good to know this. yes, I’m doing the challenge in order to get a celiac test. -
i didn’t use to consume a lot of gluten but when i did i experienced discomfort, sometimes a lot of it - i could easily have become sensitive to many other foods, having troublesome spasms. im in 4th week of gluten challenge and i rarely experience those symptoms… is it possible that my body ‘adapted’ to gluten? does this mean i cannot have celiac bc if i...

im on gluten challenge and id like to know the following please: as im aware you need to eat at least 2 slices of bread amount of gluten for 6 weeks before being tested. this week, there was one day where i wasnt able to consume any gluten-containing food (im in my 3rd week of challenge). Does it mean those previous 3 weeks have been 'lost'? Or can i compensate...

i spoke to my doctor and for diagnosis she suggested either doing celiac test, or if i cant do gluten challenge, to simply follow gluten-free diet; said that even if was diagnosed with celiac disease, i would still have to follow gluten-free diet. so im wondering whether having an evidence that i have celiac disease would change anything?
-
if i cannot do the 4-6 week gluten challenge, is it possible to do the following: eliminate gluten for some time (1-2 months?), then eat gluten and get tested straightaway? wouldn't that increase antibodies if i do have celiac disease?

symptoms after being glutened
newto replied to newto's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
"Doing a gluten challenge is like telling someone to continue hurting themselves until damage can be seen." - exactly!! thanks so much! as i know, for endoscopy you need to eat gluten for less period of time right? is it as accurate as (if not more) than blood test? I haven't been eating 2-white-bread-amount of gluten even in the past (when i wasn... -

newto replied to newto's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thanks so much! i havent tested for celiac yet; and the idea of eating gluten for at least 6 weeks before the test scares me, bc that means i have to deliberately inflame/irritate my body, right? im not ready for all the stomach aches 😕 and would canned beans (not containing gluten) be counted as irritating? -
if you've consumed something containing gluten (and have experienced some reaction), is it possible that later (even next day), other foods which do NOT contain gluten, still upset your stomach?
-
I guess I will have to follow the daily consumption of gluten with a pain-killer thanks !!
-
and also the reason why i got fixated on gluten is bc some foods which dont contain yeast do give discomfort. Ive first noticed headaches and dizziness when i drank a barley-coffee-drink; then my regular oats (the packaging of which says that it may contain wheat or barley) also gave me abdominal pain but when i switched to gluten-free oats, ive never experienced...
-
thanks! yes, im definitely considering testing, BUT - i havent been eating a lot of gluten even before and when ive noticed repeating pattern of symptoms (about a week ago), i didnt eat gluten for the past 6 days or so (and i didnt have abdominal pain at all!). so i dont know what would be counted as 'enough' gluten for the test ? plus, how can...

I am very new to the celiac world, haven't been diagnosed but I am suspecting gluten intolerance in general after considering my reactions to gluten. However, I'm wondering if anyone has different symptoms/reactions when exposed to different foods? e.g. I may experience abdominal pain after eating sourdough bread, but a headache (feeling of my head expanding...
