It's Going To Be A Long Week

[Misty073]

My blood test results should be in by next Thur/Fri but I'm feeling awful...not that I don't always feel exhausted, this past week I have just felt so run down and "out of it". Headaches, stiff neck puffy eyes etc. And my tongue is so sore I can barely eat.

Also I'm starting to wonder about my 7 year old daughter? She has constipation issues (despite eating lots of fruit, veggies and fiber). But she always has tummy aches

I'm thinking if my results come back neg I'm going to try gluten free and see if that helps us.

Regardless of results, removing all gluten once testing is complete is a good idea as many more folks are gluten intolerant rather than celiac.  

 

That being said...with your daughter's symptoms she too should have a complete celiac antibody panel and nutrient testing before removing all gluten as once you remove gluten you lose giving the tests the best opportunity for accuracy.
