ps for the most part I don't eat much gluten day to day. In the past it was like a bucket for me. I could eat a little and be ok. But I had to be careful. If I ate too much I'd get tired and lethargic. Lately any gluten makes me very very sick. At first I didn't understand what was going on, and now I'm onto it.

I can't remember eating gluten pre the tests. Recently my doctor ordered a celiac antibody blood test, which came back negative. I've had 20 plus years of stomach aches and pains...
