Hi,  so I had a positive blood test for celiac but still haven't done the biopsy. I've been trying to eat gluten free and as far as I know I have been for about 2 weeks now. I want to know how long before I start to feel better.  I still feel awful everyday. Can anybody give me a time range?

I think it took about 6 months of my daughter eating gluten free before she felt better. She still has days that she does not feel well but there has been a vast improvement with her health and her grades.  I hope you feel better soon.

Just remember that if you want to get a biopsy,  you need to continue to eat a regular gluten containing diet until it is done.

Yeah I know.  But I can't tolerate it anymore. I have been sick every day for the past five months.

Hi Archer!  

Here is a link to celiac.com's newbie information which is helpful.  There are diet tips there too.   Avoiding cross contamination is critical.  Took me six weeks to feel a bit better.  Six months for anemia to resolve and a year to really feel good. Finally, it took two years to be back to to feeling really great.  But take that with a grain of salt.  Menopause.....that is another topic!  ?

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
