Got some ice cream for hubbs, I don't remember the brand but it was a good one. I made sure there was no HFCS in it or any corn products for that matter. Anyhoo I decided to try some, they were lil pint sized tubs. I ate a half pint. So I waited and waited for the symptoms, usually I get swelling , gas, a run to the rest room or two ,with alot of pain. And guess what? No pain at all!! Nothing!! I noticed that butter was not bothering me. But ice cream?? Yummy!! So does that mean my Villi are healing? Ohhh I am so hoping so! This was so exciting for me!! I Am kinda hoping I get corn back. Because just about everything has corn in it! But if not thats ok! It just adds weight anyway. But I got Lactose back!!! Whoo Hoo!!

I won't go gun ho! But I will enjoy some now and then. Don't want to over do anything! I am testing the waters with corn products. No HFCS but a lil bit of corn product I think is ok. If it bothers me I just won't eat it for a while again. I am so happy with my weight loss! My gut is still swollen some but nothing like it used to be. I hope it goes down more. I have been doing so good on my new lifestyle change. It 's getting easier and easier to eat at parties and such. I am going to Mackinaw Island for 3 days soon. Going to bring a bag of snack goodies with me! LOL I'm sure it will be a Celiacs nightmare I went last year and ate alot of salads. This year I'm gunna test the waters a lil more.

Thanks! Yup going easy :) I went to a restaurant today, Chili's and well got a gluten-free steak with Mashed Potatoes and a nice veggie. Umm it came with a slice of bread on the top. Ugh! They put the bread on the wrong steak. So back it went. I ended out getting my steak and yup it was yummy! Because I was able to put some butter on it! Ohh my! Just a lil bit of gas but other than that I was fine! Unbelievable! A few months ago I was clarifying my butter! Ohhh the simple things in life!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
