Could It Really Be My Problem?

I have been gluten free for a month now. I am still having good and bad days, of course, but they are better than they were two months ago.

I am self-diagnosed, because everything came back negative. But if I am getting better, then gluten was my problem, right? This would all be easier if my family just got tested.

My sister has an obvious gluten intolerance. She has hidradenitis supparativa bad on her armpits. My mother has IBS. There are a host of autoimmune diseases in my family.

It feels like it is all in your head when you don't have an official diagnosis or that it is something worse.

I am just feeling weird today.

You described me exactly. Yesterday, I found out all my results which were.negative. I told my dr..but I feel.better being gluten-free how do you explain that. She said I cant...all my evidence says you do not have.a.gluten issue. I was not.gluten.free until after testing..

I had a.bad day yesterday and today. Im doubting everything. I.feel like I imagined feeling better without gluten. So now there is nothing to do but challenge myself I guess.

I have been gluten free for about 4 months now. I was not tested, but am allergic to so many other things the doc suggested I try removing gluten from my diet. My 2 year Migraine, and 2 year long sinus infection were gone by the end of the first week! I was not tested, but I KNOW when I've been glutened! I have the big D within 1/2, sometimes followed a few days later by terrible muscle and joint ache, and Brain Fog! I have not accidentally glutened myself for 9 days strait now, and have felt great!

It can ONLY be the Gluten!

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
