I Think I Might Have Celiac Or Gluten Sensitivity...but

I've only been gluten free 3full days. I was throwing up, nauseas, depressed, had diarrhea, had brain fog, gas, bloating, etc. and it had been getting worse. I was eating a lot more gluten At the time. Pretty much everything I ate. So I cut it out of my diet as a test. After 3days on the fourth day I ate a cookie without reading the ingredients. I totally didn't think about it. It's main ingredient ended up being enriched wheat flour. 2 hours later I was feeling extremely nauseas and kept going number 2 every few minutes. Then I had anal leakage and started vomiting violently. I still at this moment feel terrible. And apparently now I have a headache. I am prepared for a Terrible night.

My issue is my doctor never believes me about anything and seems to always be against me. The other doctor their knows my history (i have depression) and literally tried to mom me with discipline and judgments so not the good kind of moming. I'm afraid neither of them will believe me or help me. I'm almost 19. Have never felt well all my life. Only recently has it gotten worse.

What do I say to my doctor to get her to understand? HOW should I say things?

My therapist believes me and really thinks gluten free Is good for me and so does my mom. My dad... Wellhe doesn't give a flying flip about the subject.

I would like to be clear that most of the vomiting has been me making it happen. I just feel so sick I can't take it.

Go back to eating gluten, ask for a Celiac panel to be run--all of the tests and see if you are or are not Celiac.  If they won't run the tests, go to a private lab and ask for them to run the tests.  That way you will know one way or another.  The tests are not accurate if you are not eating gluten at the time.

Yep, I agree with the above. Get a new doctor that will listen to you. If that fails, self-pay for celiac tests at a private lab. It's worth it to know if you truly have celiac or not. Good luck!

Mileena, I can definitely understand your frustrations with the doctors...I had the same situation with them. I ended up having to go to a private lab myself and get the tests run out of pocket (it was pricy, but compared to my medical bills not knowing what was going on it was definitely worth it to get an answer). Have you asked your therapist to speak with your regular doctor though? Maybe if your doc heard it from another medical professional they will be more likely to at least do the tests (they don't have to believe you to do them, but they do have to feel like it's worth their time, and the therapist may be able to convince them of that).

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
