Hi I'm still being tested. Got some blood drawn recently. My rheumatologist suspects celiac. I've been sick for a while with all sorts of symptoms. I've started a gluten free diet as my doctor told me try for 1-2 months to see if it helps. I've already had the blood drawn while I was eating gluten. My question is. Is it normal to have painful digestion and fishers when just recently quitong gluten? I've been gluten free only a mere two days. I know it takes time. But seems a bit worse? Is that normal?

First thing - if you want to continue testing for Celiac disease, you need to be eating a regular gluten containing diet.

That said, any dietary change can get your system in a funk.

Yea that's what I thought but my doctor said to try. Should probably wait though till I finish the tests. Thanks! :) and yea I was just thinking a moment ago "maybe it's normal for a sudden dietary change?" So yea thanks. :)

Welcome!  Here is more information to support what Karen said about testing for celiac disease:

You should really be referred to a GI (I assume you have some other autoimmune disorder.).   I would strongly recommend the complete celiac panel and rule out other diorders like Crohn's etc.

Right, fistulas or fissures are usually associated with Crohns, but not celiac.  It is not impossible to have both conditions though.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
