Can Anyone Relate Too Eating More Gluten For Test And Having Less Tummy Issues?

Hello, has anyone notices that eating more gluten after reducing it for years can cause less stomach issues? I am finding that as I am eating it everyday (for upcoming test)I am having less issues. Maybe it is also that I include probiotics which really helps but if I really had celiac wouldn't my stomach get worse? Maybe I don't have it after all, not sure because I do have several other symptoms.

Thanks for reading Kat

I had that happen. I had been gluten free for only a month and I wasn't really feeling sick any more. I started eating gluten again and actually experienced NO symptoms and thought "Oh, maybe it's not the problem after all..." but gradually the symptoms began to return, including ones I didn't even realize had disappeared until they came back (yeast infections, anxiety, and more). Now that I've been gluten-free for much longer I'm having the severe reactions within hours to even small amounts of gluten. I know some celiacs that have lessened reactions over time, though. You're still getting the damage, just not feeling it the same way.

Thank you so much AzizaRivers, your response is very helpful! It is interesting that the less that you eat the more sensitive that you become, I had no idea!

      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.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
