    Also, 48 hours on a gluten-free diet isn’t nearly long enough to eliminate symptoms caused by gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. With celiac disease full healing can take up to two years, depending on the gut damage level. I do remember raw garlic causing me issues during my healing time frame, but I could eat it after. Keep a food diary and you m...

    I agree, they normally do a ttg test as well, is that the only test that was done?

    I would only add that you should really put in more effort to make sure you’re 100% gluten-free. If gluten is your issue, then this is the only way to know for sure. It should relieve your symptoms.

    My symptoms included severe knots in my shoulder and neck muscles that often caused bad stiff necks, and this would sometimes cause a pinched nerve in my neck which included tingling sensations that shot from my right shoulder to the top of my head. I did get an MRI done on this, but they only found a compressed disk in my neck. After years of being gluten...

    Celiac.com 01/14/2021 - It's no secret that most gluten-free food sales are for snack foods. It's also no secret that most gluten-free snacks are nutritionally inferior to comparable non-gluten-free snacks. It's also true that the...

    This topic made me wonder how many celiacs have had their gallbladder removed only to discover that their problems were really caused by gluten and celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity? I know my mother had her gall bladder removed before her celiac diagnosis. They checked my gallbladder before I was diagnosed as well. Given your level of sensitivity...

    From the studies we've summarized, if your liver issue is caused by celiac disease and is due to eating gluten, then much of it could be reversible after a long-term gluten-free diet. How long have you been gluten-free? Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? I know that others on this board have corrected liver issues after being gluten-free for a time...

    Alcat, which is a site sponsor, has a full celiac panel that is as accurate. Click here to read more about it. There are other companies like imaware that offer the tests, but I don't know which labs they use, and don't think they offer the DPG test that Alcat does offer.

    This is literally every celiacs' worst nightmare!

    It would make sense for you to get a blood screening for celiac disease, but you'd need to eat gluten daily for ~6 weeks beforehand for the test to be accurate.

    This is a symptom that I've not heard to be associated with celiac disease and going gluten-free. Did you see a doctor and have a monogram or other scan done to be sure the lumps are not something more serious? I would advise doing this no matter what.

    You can try looking at the inactive ingredients for the kind you have here. I only looked at the pink tablets which used corn starch and were gluten-free: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=Dulcolax

    I am not sure what your ttg levels were, but if it was 10x higher than the cut off you should be able to get a diagnosis based solely on your blood test. Talk to your doctor about this and if you don't feel comfortable eating gluten again for the biopsy let them know this. You are in charge of your health, so you don't have to eat gluten again if you don...

    If you want to PM me with the edit, I can do it for you after that time period passes. We had to add this time period in because spammers were using the edit window to go back to their posts and insert spam links.

    Be sure that your diet is 100%, and gluten-free keep in mind that it can take up to 2 years for your gut to fully heal, depending on the level of damage you may have. If you are going to a gastroenterologist now after the blood test they may want to do a biopsy, but you would need to be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before this, otherwise the results...

    Many people like me who have a spouse or children who are not gluten-free (my wife and son are not gluten-free, and my son now goes to college in a different state) have to deal with this feeling from time to time. Feeling safe is a huge part of what your home should be about, and if you can't feel safe, especially in your childhood home with your parents...

    Our salads come with croutons, can't you just pull them off? (a clue you're in the wrong restaurant!)

    I agree with @trents that if you were gluten-free, or mostly gluten-free, for the months leading up to the blood test you cannot trust the results. Since you did seem to get some relief when you cut out gluten, and seem to also have linked large doses of gluten to periods where you have these "crashes," to me it sounds like you need to pursue the gluten...
