Omg you poor thing! Mine were also super high, but they only specified that it was over 100. So I don’t know how high mine was, but I had the same symptoms of pain and bloating. Don’t worry, it gets A LOT easier with time. Something that can help, is a medication called Dicyclomine, which is basically a muscle relaxer for your intestines. If I take it wit...

Those little hairs in your intestines (they move food along the digestive tract) can only heal if they’ve been damaged to an extent. After so much damage, they may not come back at all, or very little. I was diagnosed about 4-5 years ago, and have followed a strict diet since. One of my biggest symptoms was intense stomach pain, where you described - so I...

I also had blood test result over 100, so I understand how that can feel! I have no idea if the thyroid could be affecting it. I hope it gets worked out!

Yes, you have to avoid those products as well. Sorry! If it was just a gluten intolerance, you could get away with it. Cross contamination is going to be the biggest cause of issues, as you get better and better at identifying foods you can eat. Think of it this way: all it takes is ONE molecule of gluten hitting your lips. That’s it. So cross contamination i...

Oh hon I am so sorry you feel that way! I had the exact same symptoms before I was diagnosed. There are a LOT of foods that have hidden gluten - buillon cubes got me many times before I found out some can have wheat in the yeast. Drinks and drink additives like creamer and stuff for coffee too. If you haven’t already, find an app you like that has a setting f...

It can take a couple weeks of no gluten to go back to normal. It sounds like Celiac symptoms (same ones I had, even your current stomach issues). I also stopped using any bath and body products with gluten in them. I found that helped. The damage to the intestines is not reversible though, so it’s possible this new symptom is a result of that, and/or may b...

One of my major symptoms is intense stomach pain. Like someone is squeezing and twisting my stomach in their hands. I would do an inventory of everything you’ve eaten, and double check all ingredients. I also use the ShopWell app on my phone to scan barcodes on food, and it tells me if I can eat it (you can put in a gluten “allergy”). There have been multi...
