Eating Gluten To Retest.. Not Feeling So Hot.

I've been eating some gluten for the past couple of days. Yesterday and today I've noticed my eyes feel weird, like I'm having a hard time focusing, definitely gassier than usual and all around feeling a little.. off. I'm not sure if it's from that or something else, but I never had really noticeable symptoms before I went gluten free a few months ago, and I didn't notice much changes.. now that I'm adding it back in, I'm suspecting there might be something to it. I guess I'll keep doing it for at least a couple of more days to make sure it's not something else and I'm not freaking myself out, but does this sound like it might be related? Also feeling kind of stuffy, but I don't have a cold or anything. I'm wondering what I should watch out for.

Sorry you are feeling poorly.  If you are retesting, you'll need to be consuming gluten in the 2-3 months prior to testing - don't stop too soon if it is not too hard on your body.

 

There are over 300 symptoms of celiac disease.  It could be... Open Original Shared Link

Ugh, great. Yeah I'm feeling bloated, nauseated and constipated today (TMI haha). Which wasn't happening when I was gluten free. I'll see if I can make it three months. Food is delicious but not worth feeling gross over.. and it's so weird, because the first day or two I didn't notice anything and then it was like all at once I felt gross.

Yeah, symptoms can take a few days to show up, and then they can build over time.  At least you'll get to enjoys some holiday food.

Maybe if I can make it! I found gluten free stuffing at Trader Joe's, so there's that. :)

Yeah.. screw it. I can't make it three months. SO sick this afternoon. My stomach is like so bloated my pants don't want to fit. Totally not worth it.

Well, then it sounds like the response to diet test is positive.  What are you going to do now?

Could you make it two weeks and do a biopsy?

I thought you had to go longer than two weeks for a biopsy? And nah, I don't feel like continuing to eat it. It just makes me feel too gross. I'll go back to just eating gluten free.

How specific to celiac was your one positive blood test?

It was the AGA IGA, I think that one is above 90%. But according to some other studies I've found, not a lot of people who test positive on that one have intestinal damage. The test I had was 2 1/2 years ago so I wanted to get a more recent one.

Either way, you know that gluten and you don't get along.

 

I've made it almost 5 years gluten free without so much as even a positive blood test. As long as you are confident in what you need to do, others will usually be supportive.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
