I was here a while ago for my mum, and have some more info if you guys could help me. Here's the link to the old post. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/106844-please-help/

 

Basically we just got my mum's blood tests back, and they were negative. We decided to try her on a gluten free diet 8 days ago, and her stomach pain and diarrhoea disappeared. Last night we tried a gluten challenge at 9.25 by eating one scone with butter, she woke up this morning fine, but at quarter to twelve she started to have severe stomach pain, then diarrhoea, that was yellow! Where do we go from here, in terms of her blood tests coming back normal?

Good Morning Manda!

 

If you don't have them already, request written or electronic copies of her tests.  Most doctors do not run a full celiac antibody panel -- only one or two of the screening tests.  If you post her results in this thread -- try to include the reference ranges -- we can better answer the where do you go from here question.

 

She does need to eat gluten each and every day until you are certain she is done with celiac testing -- blood and endoscopy biopsy, should she decide to have an endo.  One slice of glutenous bread per day is sufficient.

 

If she cannot tolerate any gluten, well you have an answer.  She is minimally Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS) and may have Celiac Disease.

 

The celiac testing process can be extremely frustrating - Hang in there :)

Thanks! She's asking for a paper copy tomorrow when she has her next appointment. She's been referred for an endoscopy, but she's decided she can't put up with the pain of the gluten challenge. Can NCGS be inherited, because I've been having a lot of issues lately, and food allergies run in our family?

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
