Is There An Easier Way Than Riding It Out?

Im gonna start out by saying I am not celiac but gluten intolerant.

I sometimes think its worse because instead of damaging my body I like to tear other people appart when glutened. I say hurtful things and even fear i'd loose my job due to spiteful behaviour....

Lately ive noticed a change in symptoms when glutened I end up in the bathroom and in this case have been in pain from gas for 2 days and bloating medication doesent work....I havent slept or eaten in these 2 days because it hurts too much

I am strangely happy about his because where my symptoms are more visible I feel people will take me more seriously including myself.

So my 2 questions are, am I becoming celiac, and what can I do to aleviate the sypmtoms? Surely lying around in pain is not the only option

Ive been gluten free for 2 years with the occasional accident but never had physical reactions till now

I'm sorry, but the really is no "easy fix" for a glutening besides riding it out.  Eat bland foods, drink lots of water, find some safe probiotics to take.  Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, all you can do is give it time and try to avoid making any cc errors in the future.

 

Generally one with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) will not develop celiac disease.  When one with NCGS develops celiac disease, it is thought that they had celiac disease earlier but it was too early in the disease to be detected.  The only way to know is to get tested, but you need to be consuming gluten in the 8-12 weeks before getting tested... Not fun.

 

Feel better!

Not a total fix, but Pepto Bismol may help some with glutening symptoms.  Peppermint tea can help with getting gas out.  Aspirin may help with pain.

 

Avoidance is the best medicine tho.

When you go to the doctor is up to you Patt.  Only you can decide if your symptoms are serious enough for a doctor's visit.

L-glutamine is thought to help with muscle repair, and may help your intestines heal a bit faster.  Some doctors are behind this but not all - my doctor recommended it to me.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
