Hello, I am about 5 months in this gluten free lifestyle due to a diagnosis (Doctor told me hes confident I still have "IBS" which I know I need to get the endoscopy and colonoscopy, but college student. ANYWAYS, couldn't complain much these past few weeks because I was feeling okay-ish, but this guy has been installing drywall in a house about three houses down and I have been walking over and talking to him(dust flying everywhere) every so often and guess what came back a couple hours ago? The horrible cramps and diarrhea. It doesn't feel as horrible anymore, Ive noticed? Like, the first times I got "those cramps" I really thought something horrible was going on other than that and Id need to go to the hospital, but the more it happens, the more I realize its temporary. Just waiting on the Imodium to kick in because my stomach area is noisy and having spasms!

I did a big repair on my ceiling after a leak, I got as far as cutting away the drywall, causing dust to fall all over me... by that afternoon I got hit with my glutening symptoms worse than ever... (to be fair, I was completely covered in dust and snacked before showerimg, which would be consumptio, but only after washing up...) I had no clue what caused the symptoms until 3 weeks later I happened upon someone mentioning that some drywall has gluten.... that is when I did some Googling and had other people also state this.... so I now use extreme caution when doing drywalling, but also believe that it depends on the brand of drywall, and mud...

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
