Ok, so I have now been almost completely gluten-free for one week. The reason I say almost completely is that I had a couple experiences where I either accidentally got

Sounds like a good plan. Eat lots of gluteny foods before your tests. Buy extra toilet paper and dont plan any activities that require consciousness. :o

I called and left a message with the dr's office today. Hopefully I can have the tests soon.

Oh and forgot to add the strange things I've noticed over the past week, almost completely gluten-free.

Bad/Weird

~ I have had very twitchy eyebrows - from what I've heard it's lack of potassium (so i'm eating bananas)

~ This very obvious spasm on my left side - like maybe my large intestine? It lasts for about 5-10 seconds and I've only noticed it about 3 times in a week.

~ Dizziness - BUT, I will add that I was having dizziness before I started on gluten-free. i know that the most recent dizziness is probably from lack of food/nutrients since I haven't been eating much.

Good

~ More energy

~ little to no brain fogginess

~ better mood/more chilled out

~ less tingling in my arms, fingers

:D

That's all I can think of now. Ciao!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.
