Just had bloodwork done yesterday but wanted to hear from others that have been dx. I will try to keep it short. My symptoms are inconsistent, I seem to be ok with some things that should cause problems while other gluten foods cause me issues.

Symptoms are diarrhea within 10-30 minutes. One episode and usually I'm okay. How're I ate a chewy oatmeal cookie and had several bouts of diarrhea and felt nauseous (I have never had nausea with my reactions). A few times I have had unexplained tingling in my fingertips and toes that resolves itself. No increased headaches, weight loss. Had vertigo on occasion but no brain fog or fatigue.

In terms of food, I can have subway subs (once it caused diarrhea) but I ate once at Quiznos and had a sub there for the first time and had diarrhea within 30 minutes.

I can drink beer (coors light) without issue.

Got a stomache ache recently from spaghetti but otherwise can eat pasta okay (possibly starting to react to it???).

Had udon soup and was fine but then when I ate thai chicken with Singapore noodle it caused a reaction (always diarrhea).

I can eat bagels, cake, ice cream....have reacted to a muffin at the coffee shop and their tea biscuit once.

Why can I eat some things and not others? I tend to be fine with things that I have always eaten on a regular basis and make at home.

My only symptom for was anemia. I had no gastrointestinal issues.

Try to be patient and wait for your results and I am assuming they did a celiac blood panel......i hope you find your answers!

If they did a Celiac panel, then, like Cycling said, wait for the answers.  

 

If it is negative, you may need to do an elimination diet.  There are lots of ways to do this but the basic premise is - eat a few simple foods you know you are good with.  Feel well on these for a few weeks and then add something else in for a week and see.  That is the basic idea.  You may find its as simple as oats and spicy foods.  Or too much fat or not enough fiber.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
