Did you ever want to cheat on the gluten free diet and take the gliadin X pill? My doctor noticed on my bloodwork results my total protein keeps lowering. Malnutrition. Occasionly, I would like to eat my favorite foods at least twice a year. Is that awful? I am going though some crazy thoughts lately.

No, I never want to cheat because I get violently ill if I get a significant gluten exposure. Terrific abdominal cramps, puking and diarrhea for hours. Besides, GliadinX will not cover a large gluten exposure. It may be effective for cross contamination scenarios but not the amounts one would get when purposely cheating. I've been eating gluten free so long now that gluten free foods seem normal to me and taste good.

Since I couldn't figure out how to downsize my picture, I will tell you about the outcome on my bloodwork. The tissue Transglut Ab IGG where positive >9, mine said 12 HIGH. My EGD, 4CM hiatal hernia, stomach patchy erythema was noted. The duodenum appeared normal. Biopsies were done, all negative. I called that doctor and he said he went with the bloodwork, that it was high, 12. Are there other testing to be done? I don't know if I should stay with this doctor or not. Thank you for your time!!!
