My Dr kept saying there was no check. So I decided to try gluten-free. Then they decided to do test and came back negative.i already have severe ibs swinging between diahrea for months as soon as eaten to not going 10 days,  went lactose intolerant. I suddenly lost weight wearing children's clothes so was told to eat dairy. Within 2 year I gained 5 stone. Still struggling with health more issues adding I had underachieve thyroid. I been offered colostomy over 10 yr ago due to period bleeding from back but refused. Anyway rushed in hospital after not going 10 days admitted told had slow bowel n sent home after 2 days. Now struggling to pass last few month won't flush it smells stale it's about 10" circumference sometimes always long like snake hurts like **** like hedgehog with an attitude. I was recently told I'm calcium vitamin d defiecency and health now rapidly down hill. Lots other issues. Started aged 22 now I'm 52. Need answers. Some this is not in right lines but I have fibromyalgia n CFS plus facial pains due to jaw?? I have new Dr now should I ask for test ...oh and was healthy lost the 5 stone now gaining it back and once to twice day started eating cornflakes with weetabix plus toast.... sometimes my poop is long and thin too simple by it curls round like snake. Have acid reflux too. I also suffered syncope whilst on toilet many times in one sitting...

If you are currently eating gluten, I would ask for  a Celiac blood panel.  

 

But I am finding your post a bit confusing.  For example - colostomy is not a cure for excessive menstrual bleeding.    I am wondering if you need to have a long talk with the doctor and get some explanations.  Maybe bring a friend along to hear it, too?

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
