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...

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?

      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.
