Hey there!!!

I had the barium enema today....I was actually feeling quite good yesterday and this morning because I wasn't allowed to eat for over 24 hours... I had to take klean prep to get my system cleared out... it was tough to drink that garb especially 4 litres but I think i definitly needed that after the lack of bowel movements i've been having for the last year....

anyways this morning at about 930 after my appointment i ate a sandwitch then at 2:00pm half a sandwitch and its starting all over again i'm nervous and having really bad hunger pains, my stomach is rumbling and crampy, I feel a little out of it and shakey....

I'm becoming convinced more and more that i do have celiac or an intolerance... i was completly fine all day yesterday and for the early part of today...

i booked an appointment with my Gi on the 27th... and i'm going to run this by him... he's convinced i don't have celiac disease and is not interested in investigating an intolerance at all..... he says i already had the screening and it was negative.... i only had 2 of the antibodies run .... so with any luck he'll put me out of my misery and order a full panel... i don't know him well at all so i don't know how is going to react to this whole conversation.. cause we all know drs don't like people telling them anything or second guessing them... so wish me luck..

any advice is more than welcome

this website and the people i've met here has been a god send!!!

I never understood why doctors just cant run the full tests. I mean you or your insurance is paying for it.......whats it to them. I swear sometimes doc's want you to stay sick so they can keep up a good business...maybe I am a lil bit paranoid but gosh.

I asked my to run a blood panel my reg. doc I was pretty surprised when they called back and said it is ready to pick up...now I am just hoping he did the full 5 panel test. :rolleyes:

Hey Melisadki:

well thank god i don't have to pay for much living in canada we are lucky to have ohip....

I was in touch with the canadian celiac association today... i asked them for solid information about which antibodies should be run to complete the full panel and they suprisingly had no idea what i was talking about... i went on to explain that i was told on this site that there was 5 antibodies and i was only screened for 2 of them... she told me i couldn't use information off this site cause its american and their screening differs from ours....... she said i had to have a biopsy of my bowel???

i really don't think she knew what she was talking about....

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
