Good Morning.

Have been trying gluten free for the past 5 days. So far it is brilliant! Tummy is much happier and though I am still feeling really tired, also no nausea. Am also on acid blockers now (have 1 month prescription), so that would be helping with the reflux and hyperacidity.

Is it usual to have such a rapid response? This seems almost too good to be true...

Regardless of what my results say I am sticking with this...

Have a great day! I am. :)

Yes! It can definitely happen that quickly, although it can be anywhere from days to weeks, to months for some people. It just depends.

For me it was like somebody flipped a switch. Literally within a day or two. It sounds so odd and unreal to look back on all those years of suffering when the answer was so close.

I'm so glad you and your tummy are feeling better. :D

i had a few really good days maybe 4-5 then got a few bad days and then went back to good. but I eliminated the processed food after my setback and that kept it brief i believe. Way to go on feeling better, its the best knowing that your diet is 'fixing' you and not some pill :)

congrats on the progress!

Yep, it's possible. Like Nantzie said, I felt like someone had "flipped a switch" and felt noticeably better on the second day and even better after that. I had some rough days every once in a while for a few months, but I think that was more due to still being glutened occasionally.

Congrats on feeling better!

Absolutely it is possible to have such a rapid response. Your body is saying thank you, thank you , thank you. Keep it up and keep us updated. I took a stomach/reflux medicine for the first couple of weeks on the diet but didn't need it after that as the diet took care of everything. Good luck.

Happy to hear you are doing better, too. I used to have constant pain, and it ended within a few days. It has been 3 months and I would never turn back. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad that you're feeling better. I started feeling better right away too. Of course I have messed that up by eating a piece of cake yesterday. But, never again. Pain is not something I enjoy.

Congrats! I'm happy you're feeling better. I, too, felt immediately better for about a month. Then I got sick and felt awful again, but still better than I was pre-gluten-free. You will probably still have some bad days, but hopefully they'll be few and far between.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
