Onset Of Problems To Diagnosis?

I just started having lots of ongoing stomach problems that stop when I do not eat gluten (my 3yo is gluten free). I remember having bouts of stomach issues in the past, but they always went away. I have called my allergist about ordering a celiac panel for me, but since the symptoms just started, will that be enough time for the antibodies to be in my system? I'm assuming so as I feel I've probably been building them for a while, but it's kind of scary since Evan's tests were negative that mine will be as well. We're doing Enterolabs for him sometime in the next month and are anxious about that. I just feel at least trying for a diagnosis is a smart way to start, but I know not to rely on it for answers completely.

I'm assuming that you have been eating gluten all of your life, so the antibodies should be there. If you have gone gluten-free for an extended period of time, the antibodies would have disappeared, or at least dropped significantly. I definitely think it's smart to have a celiac panel. Even if it comes out negative, you can still be tested through Enterolab. If your son is a celiac, there's a good chance you are too. After all, he got half of his genes from you. But either way, get yourself tested. Good luck,

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.
